Handling and operation
Loading of the magazine
¾ Hold the magazine with one hand. Place the cartridges with the
other hand between the magazine lips and push the cartridge with
the thumb underneath the lips.
¾ Repeat this operation, until the magazine is fully loaded or until the
desired number of rounds is inside the magazine.
Note:
A cartridge symbol and the figure 30 are visible on the right upper side of
the magazine. This means that the magazine has a capacity for 30
rounds and that the uppermost round in a fully loaded magazine must be
located on the right side.
Unloading the magazine
Hold the magazine with one hand. Push the cartridges out of the
magazine with the thumb of the other hand, mind that the removed
cartridges do not drop on a hard surface or get otherwise damaged.
Note:
Loading and unloading of the drum magazines is done in the same way
as with the box-type magazines.

Carrying handle with telescope sight and reflex sight
As an option a carrying handle with a 3 x telescope sight and a 1 x reflex
sight may be mounted instead of the standard carrying handle with 1.5 x
optical sight.
The reflex sight with its illuminated red dot reticle is designed for quick
aimed shooting at ranges up to 200 m. The red dot reticle is provided by
a daylight collector. The red dot brightness is automatically adjusted to
the environmental light conditions. In case of insufficient external light
intensity, a battery may be actuated for generating the luminous point.
The 3 x telescope underneath the reflex sight is used for accurate firing
at longer ranges.

The telescopic sight is connected to the telescopic sight mount via two
screws.
The telescopic sight mount meets the requirements of STANAG 2324.
The telescopic sight is placed and screwed tightly onto the carrying
handle.
