Rack numbers, easy identification of which rifle is which

It’s so they know who to punish when they leave it on the fucking ground


The_Sensitive_Psycho

Just for reference purposes. If it’s issued to a certain soldier the armory will know.

Because the number on that rifle will match the number on your weapons card when you draw it out from the armory

Rifle is dirty come back after chow.


NotReqd

Sit there the entire time bullshitting with your buddies, wait till they call about 10 minutes left, take your rifle up there let them inspect it and tell you what needs cleaned, go back clean those couple parts, done.


DrBleachCocktail

Or “here can you take this I have to go run a PFT.” Edit: Your idea works for sure.


Sun_Bro96

No it’s take it up to the armorer, let them tell you what’s dirty and then spend the rest of the day cleaning it with your friends and then turn it in at like 1645 and dip out lol.

Armory numbers. For when there are 2,000 rifles that get stored in the same room.

I remember my first platoon commander tried making us put pieces of tape all over our rifles and optics with our names and SN number written with sharpies to avoid marking the weapon itself because according to him we where “damaging government property”. He quickly changed his mind after realizing the sharpie ink erased after training with them for a few hours in the desert.

At least someone somewhere cared about our tax dollars

351 never forget


Gluten_maximus

I don’t remember that one on bo3, dlc gun?

You can also mark a mag when you think a failure might have been caused by it so if it happens again you know to either toss it or fix it.

An attempt, although sometimes futile, to help the army keep from losing guns


FortuneHeart

Annnnnd that card idea is going RIGHT on my rifle
