Loading and Firing
To load remove the mag and place the pin in the appropriate area. Now place the ammo in the mag. insert the mag into the ammo feed. Next push the white and blue rods in the ammo feed area out to the sides. Hook the rubber bands on the end of the barrel and the trigger spoke. Make sure the rubber bands are on both sides of the ammo. Once all the rubber bands are hooked push the blue and white rods back into the center. Remove the pin. Pull the trigger to fire (in case you didn't figure that out).

Optional Additions
The Handle/Rail of the MBAR-2 was specially designed to be compatible with many different additions. These include bayonets, vertical grips, and bi-pods which are shown below. I have also made a grenade launcher for it but I don't have any images for it. The additions will be posted in a separate Instructable.
