Question: 1 / 400

What should be done immediately if a firearm fails to fire when the trigger is pulled?

Try firing again immediately

Open the action and look down the barrel for obstructions

Wait a moment, then safely unload the firearm

If the firearm fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, it is important to wait a moment before attempting to unload the firearm safely. This allows time for any potential malfunctions or misfires to be dealt with before further action is taken. It is not advisable to try firing again immediately, as this can lead to further malfunctions and potentially dangerous situations. Additionally, opening the action and looking down the barrel for obstructions may be necessary if the firearm is still not functioning after waiting and attempting to unload it. Shaking the firearm to clear potential jams can also be dangerous and should not be done unless under professional instruction. The best course of action is to wait a moment, then safely unload the firearm.
