If that doesn't work, Remedial Action time:
Seek cover and advise of your problem (clearly for your teamates)
Lock bolt to rear.
Remove and discard magazine (unless this is the last one)
Rack 3x
Lock bolt to rear. Insert fingers of support side hand into mag well and feel for any obstruction (we find appx 20% of the time there will be something in there).
When clear, insert fresh mag, bolt forward and get your head back in the fight.
We have been doing it this way for years. It works in bright light and no light and has a high degree of success for clearing Type 3 Malfunctions.
We stopped slapping mags a long time ago....
