In terms of basic operational functions, the Minimi is simple to operate. The barrel change, for example, can be performed in a matter of seconds by working through the following steps:

(1) The gun is cleared of any ammunition, and the bolt is cocked and locked to the rear. (The barrel change cannot be performed if the bolt is locked into the breech.)

(2) The weapon is set to SAFE.

(3) The gunner pushes down the locking lever with the left-hand and grabs the barrel handle with the right hand, pushing it forward and up to remove the barrel from the receiver. (The gunner needs to avoid touching the barrel itself, as it could be dangerously hot.)

(4) The new barrel is installed by simply reversing Step 3, and ensuring that the barrel is locked into place before the gun is reloaded and fired.

This process is ideal for a combat machine gun, being simple enough to ensure a minimum of vulnerable downtime while changing barrels.
