Avoiding the “click no bang” problem

This video demonstrates a real-time incident of an underpowered ammunition load causing a firearm malfunction. The speaker, acting as an instructor, explains the characteristics of such a failure, including a weak "pop" sound and minimal slide movement. Crucially, the video emphasizes safe handling procedures after a suspected malfunction, including waiting for potential hang-fires and thoroughly checking the barrel for obstructions before re-chambering a round.

This guide details a simulation of slide bite using a ballistic dummy hand and an AK rifle, as demonstrated by Matt from Kentucky Ballistics. The experiment illustrates the potential for serious injury if a finger is caught in the cycling action. It serves as a visual warning against unsafe firearm handling practices, emphasizing the importance of keeping hands clear of the action.

This video addresses critical skills for firearm owners: what to do when a rifle malfunctions or runs dry. Myles from Tactical Hyve emphasizes the importance of having a practiced, go-to action to efficiently resolve these issues, thereby maintaining operational readiness. The content is geared towards practical firearm handling and emergency procedures. More resources and connections are available via the Tactical Hyve website and social media channels.

This video demonstrates a critical firearm malfunction where a magazine appears to have 'blown up' during a drill, ejecting its components and causing a stoppage. The incident highlights the importance of immediate safety protocols, including wearing eye and ear protection, and the need for thorough inspection after a malfunction. The speaker suspects a potential primer issue or obstruction within the bolt carrier group as the cause, emphasizing that even during routine drills, unexpected failures can occur.

This guide details a method for testing striker-fired handguns for potential uncommanded firing events, as demonstrated by Polenar Tactical. It involves a specific setup using a zip tie on the trigger and a dowel in the barrel to observe if aggressive slide manipulation can cause the striker to release. The technique is presented as a safety concern investigation for models like the Sig Sauer P320 and AREX Delta Gen 2.

This video from Collapse N Protect provides critical safety education on out-of-battery (OOB) detonations, a dangerous firearm malfunction. The narrator, demonstrating high authority, explains the mechanics of an OOB event using 3D animations and real-world examples of AR-15 and PCC failures. Key takeaways include immediate cessation of fire, the necessity of professional gunsmith inspection after such an event, and the importance of regular maintenance and cleaning as preventative measures.

This video demonstrates an advanced self-defense technique for surviving an armed robbery. An expert instructor showcases how to de-escalate, comply to create a distraction, and execute a rapid concealed draw from an Appendix (AIWB) position to neutralize the threat. The demonstration highlights weapon retention and close-quarters combat proficiency.

This guide, presented by Jeff from Tenicor, outlines five common mistakes new concealed carriers make. It emphasizes choosing appropriate holsters and belts, selecting suitable clothing, finding a balance between firearm size and shootability, and carrying with a round in the chamber. The advice focuses on practical application and safety for everyday carry.

This guide details safe reholstering techniques for appendix carry, emphasizing visual control and body positioning to prevent self-injury. Expert Jeff from Tenicor, with over 25 years of daily carry experience, demonstrates the 'muzzle wedge' method, crucial for appendix inside-the-waistband (AIWB) holsters. The advice is geared towards intermediate carriers looking to refine their safety protocols.

This guide outlines the four universal firearms handling rules, emphasizing their critical importance as they are 'written in blood' due to past tragedies. The rules are: 1. All guns are always loaded. 2. Never point a gun at anything you're not willing to shoot or destroy. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target. 4. Be sure of your target and what's behind and beyond it. The video, presented with authoritative instruction from a professional instructor, also touches on the 'Be Polite' rule and the distinction between universal safety rules and specific range protocols.
