Clearing Barrel Inspection

  • The clearing zone is the space inside the “red lines” within the weapons handling area, immediately surrounding the clearing barrel. The clearing zone must have red lines on the floor for easy identification. (T-2). Does the Clearing Zone meet the requirements in Para. 1.6.1. through 1.6.5.? AFMAN 31-129, Para. 1.6.

  • Select Cause:

  • 1.6. Clearing Zone. The clearing zone is the space inside the “red lines” within the weapons handling area, immediately surrounding the clearing barrel. The clearing zone must have red lines on the floor for easy identification. (T-2). Field environments may use expedient measures like ropes or cones. Only the clearing barrel attendant and the individual clearing their weapon are allowed within the clearing zone during loading and clearing operations. All other persons waiting to enter the clearing zone will form a line outside the clearing zone. Clearing zones are constructed
    as follows:
    1.6.1. A red line identifying the clearing zone is at least 4-inches wide. (T-3). The line can be painted, taped or incorporated into the floor tile pattern.
    1.6.2. The line identifying the front of the clearing zone is at least 6 feet from the front of the clearing barrel. (T-3).
    1.6.3. The clearing zone is at least 6 feet wide (3 feet on either side of the clearing barrel’s centerline). (T-3). If the clearing barrel is positioned against a wall, the clearing zone is extended to the wall and the wall must be constructed of a material that will prevent all calibers and types of ammunition loaded and unloaded at the clearing barrel from penetrating the wall or the guidance in paragraph 1.6.5 must be followed. (T-2). Additionally, it is recommended that the wall be covered with a one-sheet layer of 3/4 inch and a one-sheet layer of 1/2 inch plywood or similar material to reduce the possibility of splashback from any projectiles that may strike the wall. Note: Work with local civil engineers and you may use the criteria in Engineering Technical Letter (ETL) 11-18, Small Arms Range Design and Construction, for overhead baffles and sidewalls as a starting point.
    1.6.4. The clearing zone is illuminated to provide sufficient lighting to view the chamber area of all SA/LW loaded and cleared at the location.
    1.6.5. The location of the clearing barrel cannot permit movement behind (to the rear of) the barrel. If the area behind the clearing zone is occupied, a barrier is put in place to the rear of the barrel constructed of material that will prevent all calibers and types of ammunition loaded
    and unloaded at the clearing barrel from penetrating the barrier. Additionally, it is recommended that the barrier be covered with a one-sheet layer of 3/4 inch and a one-sheet layer of one 1/2 inch plywood or similar material to reduce the possibility of splash back from any projectiles that may strike the barrier. Note: Work with local civil engineers and you may use the criteria in Engineering Technical Letter (ETL) 11-18, for overhead baffles and

Commanders will post written SA/LW loading and clearing procedures above each clearing barrel for each type of government weapon routinely loaded and cleared at the location. (T-2). Procedures may be printed on charts or interchangeable cards; however, the print must be large enough to ensure easy reading from inside the clearing zone. In overseas locations, commanders will display the written loading and clearing procedures in the host-nation language if host-nation personnel use the US armory or handling area. (T-2). Handheld, laminated cards or checklists may be used only by the clearing barrel official in less permanent clearing areas such as field conditions and for very infrequently used weapons (less than twice a month on average).

  • Does each armory contain a clearing barrel to facilitate weapons inspections at issue and turn-in? AFMAN 31-129 Para. 4.3.
