July 24 (UPI) -- Air Force Global Strike Command limited the use of M18s after a deadly incident on Sunday at a Wyoming Air Force Base.
On Monday, the Air Force issued a "stand down" of the weapon until all bases can do inspections of the M18s. Officials said, personnel will use the M4 rifle instead.
"We want to make sure there's nothing wrong with the weapon," said an Air Force official.
A service member, who has not yet been identified, was killed Sunday after their sidearm discharged, Air Force officials said in a statement.
