"CLICK, NO POP-NO BOOM”………………….the cap does not fire! |
| |
|
|
This condition may be caused by a bad cap, a cap not seated properly
on the nipple, or |
|
the cap may have fallen off the nipple. The following action
shall be taken: |
|
|
| a. |
The shooter may choose to accept this as a miss and make no further
effort to |
|
discharge the chamber while on the clock. |
| |
|
| b. |
The shooter may re-index the revolver and strike the cap a second time,
or the shooter |
|
may continue to fire the remaining shots from the revolver until the
offending cap |
|
again comes into battery, and then make a second attempt to fire it. |
| |
|
| c. |
If the chamber does not fire on the second attempt, the shooter may
try re-capping the |
|
chamber if desired. If the shooter elects to accept a miss, or
if the revolver cannot be |
|
made to fire, either ground or hand off the revolver. |
| |
|
| 11. |
“POP, NO BOOM”………………….the cap fires but the chamber does not! |
| |
|
| a. |
This condition may be due to a plugged nipple, or the shooter may have
forgotten to |
|
charge that chamber. |
| |
|
| b. |
There is no Hang-Fire problem specific to the C&B revolver, and
coupled with the |
|
fact that the C&B revolver is designed to accommodate an out of
battery discharge, it |
|
is not necessary to pause. |
| |
|
| c. |
The fired cap is the same as “NO” cap and that chamber is not
loaded. |
| |
|
| d. |
The shooter may continue to fire the remaining chambers and then, at
the shooter's |
|
discretion, hand off, ground, or holster the revolver. |
|
|
| 12. |
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS |
|
Clearing C&B revolvers with caps fired on un-charged chambers is
a standard procedure |
|
to clear the nipples of oil and residue. This shall be done on
the firing line after getting |
|
permission from the posse marshal/leader. |
|
|
|
If the shooter, after clearing a problem with the firearm, finds it
necessary to discharge a |
|
round down range, FIRST get permission from the posse marshal/leader. |
