Quote: Usually a runaway is caused by improper trigger manipulation which leads to worn parts.
I've had those barrels "Rockin Red", my gunner wore that Kevlar glove but he was still apprehensive about switching the badboy out..

I've had runaways, but only after sustained fire of over a hundred rounds,(hence belts linked together) I was amazed at the accuracy of this weapon, it hit targets with surgical accuracy up to 750 meters, like in the "back door" of an ole burnt out APC, and old "pillboxes"......

I love that weapon!!!
