fieldstrip
Take apart weapon
To fieldstrip is to disassemble a firearm into its major components for cleaning or inspection without using special tools—the level of breakdown a soldier performs in the field: He fieldstripped his rifle in under a minute.
By extension, fieldstrip applies to any quick, methodical disassembly: She fieldstripped the engine to find the problem.
