I do a lot of Trap shooting and it makes me gringe everytime someone has a misfire! Usally within a second of hearing the firing pin go "click" they open the gun and eject the shell. It's as if no one has ever heard of a hang fire. I had one happen to me when I was a kid and the person instructing me made me keep the gun pointed down range and WAIT! After about 10 sec. it went off!!!! Scared the living S@#$% out of me. I could have killed some one if I had been "messing" with it trying to figure out why it didn't fire. Thank God for a wise instructor.
