Clearing Failures
Failures of a firearm are bound to happen, knowing how to clear the failure is very important.
Click, no bang
You pull the trigger but no bang and just hear a click. What happened?!
Causes:
- Didn’t Pull slide back all the way
- Pulling slide before or while inserting the clip
- Bad primer
- Other issues with cartridge/bullet
Solution: slap clip and rack the slide
No click, “out of battery”
You pull the trigger but for some reason nothing happens. What is going on?!
Causes:
- Didn’t Pull slide back all the way
- Pulling slide before or while inserting the clip
- Don’t guide the slide forward, let the spring do its job
Solution: tap the slide forward.
Stove-pipe
You pull the trigger, it goes bang, but the bullet casing gets stuck coming out of the slide. It kinda looks like a stove pipe, thus the name.
Causes: 1.
Solution: either karate chop the stove pipe towards the end of the barrel of the gun OR tap the mag and rack the slide(this wastes the next bullet)
