WARNING

Fire only plastic training Ammunition M862 when using M2 Practice Bolt.

Do not fire dented cartridges or those having loose bullets.

Do not attempt to force feed a service cartridge into the chamber. Doing so would produce dangerous

pressures for a blow-back system, damage to weapon and serious injury or death.

Be careful where you point a rifle loaded with plastic training ammo! It's dangerous up to 250 meters

down-range. Keep rifle pointed down-range in case of misfire.
