jammed guns?

Question

do they still make a bang if they are jammed, and can you explain what kind of jam

Answer 1

Failure to feed means the cartridge never made it into the chamber....no bang there.

Failure to extract means you broke your extractor and the empty shell stayed in the chamber....no bang because it already did.

Failure to eject means the empty didn't clear the ejection port and it jammed....no bang there, either, because it already went bang.

Double feeding is when two cartridges pop out of the mag at the same time and the second one jams the action....no bang because the action never closed.

No bang on a jam unless the failed to feed cartridge or doubled cartridge primer gets hit by a pointy part of the bolt. Very rare.

Answer 2

The first poster is pretty dead on. These types of jams happen with autoloading firearms, although most people only think of them for autoloading handguns. This happens more often in older or cheaper handguns, or when using old ammunition. A newer, well-made handgun has a very low statistical probablility of jamming, something of roughly 0.02% (that's 0.02% mind you, not 2%) if you are using ammunition that is not very old. Now, that's a jam based on the error of the firearm itself. Sometimes user error causes jams, and if you use ammunition that is sometimes too old, it may not fire properly, if at all, in which case it won't be ejected, causing a jam. That's not an error on the part of the firearm however.

This is why many people (NOT including myself) prefer revolvers over autoloading handguns. The ammunition is not fed into a chamber by any mechanism, so there is no room for a jam there. If an individual round is a dud, then you can simply pull the trigger to get to the next round, as the cylinder will still spin. You could of course have a failure in the firing mechanism that would not allow the hammer to be pulled or else dropped, the trigger to function, or the cylinder not to rotate, but that would be a pretty rare occurrence indeed.

I have experienced "jams" with revolvers myself, but not with firing. I have had several experiences where I had trouble getting all of the spent casings to fall out of the cylinder after firing. This doesn't cause a problem while firing, but it does prevent you from reloading quickly.

Answer 3

you can also get a hang fire if the firing pin does not hit the primer right, or if you use cheap or old ammo.
the powder didnt burn right causing the round to take a few extra seconds to go off.
I have seen it once while training a friend how to shoot a pistol at the range he thought the gun had jamed after he pulled the trigger he whent to set it on the bench still facing pointing the gun down range and then it fired i checked the brass the primer was hit center and like nomal. so if you pull the trigger and nothing happends keep the gun pointed down range and wait at least 30 seconds before you open the chamber
If there is a pop noise when the gun goes off that isnt as loud as it normaly is stop firing you most likly have a round that is stuck in the barrel. if you fire a second shot you most likey get hurt and destroy you gun past repair.
you will need to take your firearm to a gun smith to clear the stopage and also to inspect the firearm to see if the firearm was the cause.

Answer 4

No kind of Jam will cause a Bang...

Answer 5

when you say bang, if you mean fire, some can. This would be firing out of battery. It can occur in some types of guns, but is rare.

Answer 6

Take a firearm safety class, you need to.

Answer 7

are you retarded
