What are the steps in carbine remedial action?

• A. Lock, Load, Fire
• B. Tap, Rack, Bang
• C. Check, Clear, Confirm
• D. Lock, Rip, work

Answer: (D)

The steps in carbine remedial action are Tap, Rack, Bang. When a stoppage or failure to fire occurs, this sequence clears the common issues quickly: Tap the magazine to reseat it and shake loose a stuck round, Rack the charging handle to cycle the action and chamber a fresh round, then Bang to fire again. This targets feed reliability and ensures the weapon returns to a ready state.

The other options don’t match the standard corrective protocol. Lock, Load, Fire is a general firing sequence and doesn’t specifically address clearing a malfunction. Check, Clear, Confirm describes post-action verification rather than the immediate misfeed clearance. Lock, Rip, work is not a recognized remedial-action drill.
