A strip (12902719) shall be assembled with M848 dummy cartridges (11825935) in accordance with 12910289 and shall be placed into

37、the test fixture (see Figure 1). In order to test both the front and aft clips, half of the strip samples shall be assembled with M848 dummy cartridges (11825935) and tested with the strip lot number oriented on the right side and the other half of the strips with the lot number on the left side. Th

38、ere shall be no movement of the Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-DTL-70745A (AR) 7 dummy cartridges in the strip prior to assembling in the test fixture. A gradual force (without impact loading) shall then be applied to a cartridge

39、 until the nose end has completely separated from the strip. Measurement of the maximum push out force shall be made for compliance with the requirements of 3.3. The strip shall be rigidly supported to have the least amount of movement when the push out force is being applied. The pushed out cartrid

40、ge shall be returned to the strip and the above procedure repeated for all remaining cartridges regardless of the position of a cartridge in the strip. When pushing out the cartridges at either end of the strip the tabs at the end of the strip shall be rigidly supported to have the least amount of m

41、ovement or bending of the strip when the push out force is being applied. FIGURE 1. Push out force test set-up. 4.4.2 Functioning. A strip (12902719) shall be assembled with M848 dummy cartridges (11825935) in accordance with 12910289 and the strip shall be fed through the AH-64D Apache Side Loader

42、system. Then the ammunition shall be downloaded back into the strip using the Side Loader system and subsequently feed into the AH-64 Apache Uploader/Downloader. This test shall be conducted at range ambient temperature. Failure of strip to retain cartridges throughout uploading and/or downloading a

43、nd meet the requirements of 3.4 shall be cause for rejection. 4.4.3 Corrosion resistance. The test shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM B117 and 3.5. Tested parts shall not be returned to the lot. 4.4.4 Burrs and sharp surfaces. Observations shall be made for compliance with the requirements o
