What do we do with individual weapons?

• A. Remain with soldiers, bolt may be removed
• B. Ship them separately
• C. Leave them with the unit's security
• D. Discard the bolts

Answer: (A)

Safety and accountability of individual weapons is the focus here. Each issued weapon should stay with its owner to ensure immediate control and proper traceability. Removing the bolt helps render the weapon safe by preventing it from firing, while still keeping the weapon in the hands of the soldier responsible for it. Shipping weapons separately, leaving them with unit security, or discarding bolts would undermine accountability and safety and complicate quick response. So the correct approach is to keep the weapon with the soldier, with the bolt removed to render it safe.
