In the classroom, during the 2nd IA, you crept up the side of the gun and..... and....... and.......... But in real life you turned the gas regulator with the nose of top round of the magazine that the gunner has just taken off the gun. In a good well trained (always a good sign of a fighting section) Bren team, the No1 on the gun would have taken the top round out and be passing it to the No2 who would be clearing the gas stoppage. 1st IA = empty magazine, 2nd IA = gas stoppage
