Instructions For The American Fighting Man In Iraq & Afghanistan

This list of weapons constitutes the bulk of American small arms in use overseas. For
directions and inquiries regarding the use of Gunzilla CLP on heavy mortars, artillery, and other
infantry or support weapons please email us at: info@TopDuckProducts.com, and we will get
back with you as soon as possible.

These directions reflect the difference in the capabilities and usage of Gunzilla CLP and
the current issue CLP. Gunzilla can extend the number of rounds fired between maintenance
however, do not fail to clean and lubricate with the same frequency you normally would. Simply
because you can confidently put it off is no excuse for poor maintenance habits. Remember, do
not apply anything to the weapon besides Gunzilla, standard CLP will attract and hold sand, dust,
and dirt, Gunzilla will not. Sand, dust, and dirt can be blown off, or dusted away with a simple
paintbrush while on patrol.

M16A2/ M16A4 Rifles & M4 Carbine:

The service rifle and service carbine should be broken down completely and the bolt and bolt carrier completely disassembled to the maximum allowable level. If M203 is attached see M203 below for instructions.
The interior of the weapon should be thoroughly soaked with Gunzilla, taking care to saturate the entire bolt assembly and its every component, the underside of the charging handle, and the inside of the upper and lower receiver. Then set these parts aside.
Punch the bore with wet patches until they are removed clean, and then set aside leaving the bore wet.
Wipe down the entire buffer spring assembly including the tube and take special care to wipe down the buffer spring.
With a clean rag and cotton swabs (if available), wipe the Gunzilla off the interior of the weapon and dry off the bolt. Reassemble the bolt. Then, saturate the bolt a second time, set aside.
Dry patch the barrel until patches come out clean and dry.
Wipe the bolt dry and reassemble the entire weapon.
Wipe the entire exterior of the weapon with a Gunzilla soaked rag, and then wipe as dry as possible.
Perform a function check, the weapon is now ready for firing.
Every cleaning after this one will be much faster.

M249 Squad Automatic Weapon & M249 Para

The scaled-down components of the SAW mean it is much more delicate than its parent M240 series of weapons. Disassemble the weapon to the maximum allowable level.

M2 Heavy Barrel .50 cal:

Being a recoil operated system, the M2 is easy to maintain, however, the small nature of the components means special care must be taken to keep them in working order. Disassemble the weapon to the maximum allowable level.
Small parts such as the accelerator stop, sear, sear spring, and bolt stud, etc. should be thoroughly doused with Gunzilla and set aside to bleed into a rag. This will make them easier to reinstall and perform more efficiently.
The weapon should then be thoroughly soaked with Gunzilla, taking care to saturate:
- - The entire bolt assembly and its every component, with special emphasis on the recesses of the bolt, t-slot, barrel extension threads, and trunion
  - Underside of the top cover, feed pawls, and round stop block
  - The inside of the receiver with emphasis on the timing nut and sidewalls
  - Trigger and backplate assembly
  - Drive spring rod assembly
  - Buffer housing and buffer spring assembly
Then set these parts aside.
Punch the bore of both barrels with wet patches until they are removed clean, leave the bores wet. Wipe down the exterior of the barrels with a Gunzilla soaked rag. Soak the barrel threads and teeth. Set aside.

Reassemble the receiver.
Wipe the barrels dry, and then dry patch them until patches come out clean and dry. Use an All-Purpose nylon brush on the threads and teeth, then wipe dry. Replace the barrels into their respective carrier or screw it into the barrel extension.
With the weapon fully assembled, lock the bolt to the rear spray Gunzilla onto the exposed rod portion of the drivespring rod. Also, leave a thin coating on the receiver sidewalls and the bottom, between the buffer assembly and barrel extension and between the bolt and barrel extension. A visibly wet coating on these parts will be sufficient.
Work the bolt several times.
Close top cover, perform functions check.
Wipe any excess Gunzilla off of the exterior of the weapon.
The weapon is now ready to fire.
It is recommended that you load cover closed and maintain Condition 3.

Mk-19 Mod 3, 40mm Grenade Launcher:

The larger components of the Mk-19 mean that greater care must be taken to inspect parts for defects and to lubricate adequately. Disassemble the weapon to the maximum allowable level.
Saturate the feedway, inside of the receiver, chamber and bore with Gunzilla, set aside.
Move on to the disassembled parts, take care to thoroughly saturate:
- - Charger assemblies
  - Bolt assembly including, bolt face, extractor, ejector and rollers
  - Sear assembly, safety and all springs and radii it contains
  - Primary and secondary drive levers
  - Ogive plunger

When dry, reassemble the weapon, using a barely damp Gunzilla soaked rag, wipe down the exterior of the weapon, and then wipe dry with a clean rag. This will help keep a dusty buildup from adhering to the weapon.
Function check the weapon, then lock the bolt to the rear.
A thin coating of Gunzilla on the interior of the receiver will be sufficient lubrication for the desert. The thin coating will cut down on malfunctions by not allowing the broken bits of ammunition link to stick to the interior parts and gouge the moving parts.
Work the bolt a few times and close the cover. Wipe dry any excess Gunzilla which has found its way on the exterior.
The weapon is now ready to fire.
It is recommended that you load cover closed.
