Videos tagged with Correctable Failure

The Yankee Marshal clarifies handgun failures, distinguishing between correctable (e.g., failure to feed/eject) and catastrophic types. He identifies squib loads as the most dangerous failure for both revolvers and semi-autos, emphasizing the risk of a catastrophic explosion if a second shot is fired with a blocked barrel. Hang fires in revolvers are also highlighted as a significant danger, potentially causing the bullet to strike the frame.
