>> “Soldier hammered pin in with .50 cal round...” <<

. Using the primer end as the hammer, I trust?

Possibly, using it as a hammer to drive in the retaining pins would make something almost resembling sense. Or maybe, using the round as a drift punch to try to drive the crosspins out. I could see that happening after using dummy rounds that way in a training environment, then being sent off to the land of rusted equipment and Live Ammo, AKA the real world.

In any event: don't do it. And avoid those who do if you can, and if you can't, don't turn your back on them.

The question that pops into my head is “why would the gun not have appropriate tools permanently attached with a chain or cable?”
