This video demonstrates how to diagnose and resolve a 'dry ball' situation in black powder firearms, where a projectile becomes stuck in the chamber. The speaker, Deuce, explains that this often occurs due to forgotten gunpowder charges. He illustrates the process of disassembling a revolver, identifying the issue, and then using a small charge of black powder to fire the stuck ball out, offering alternative methods as well.

This video provides a quick and straightforward guide to resolving the most common malfunctions encountered with AR-style rifles. The presenter emphasizes practical techniques for clearing these issues, specifically noting that the demonstration rifle, an original AR-601, lacks a forward assist. Based on extensive military experience, including combat tours, the advice given is to avoid using a forward assist unless manual bolt manipulation (thumb pressure) has already failed to resolve the problem, indicating a potential obstruction that needs to be addressed before attempting to fire again.
