These and other tasks make the AR-15 charging handles vitally important for the use of the rifle. Aside from these two primary functions, a shooter needs to cycle the charging handle to ensure that the rifle is clear of rounds before they put it on safe, which is one of the key steps (and arguably the first step) that one needs to take when they strip their AR-15 rifle down for cleaning. The charging handle is also what a shooter uses if they need to clear a jam or manually cycle another round.
