    That's a whole 'nother discussion. While principles are the same, executions are certainly different. In addition, there's another stoppage to teach on that system (brass over bolt).

    There's a real favorite.

    Wayne, if and when you have the time, I for one would enjoy reading your comments on malfunction clearing with the AR. Between the two threads it would make for good P-F reference material. (I've only had to use the mortar technique once so far.)
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    That reminded me of something strange. I never saw that particular stoppage until we started using M16A2's in the USAF. Any idea why they would differ in that regard from the original M16?

    I hope this is not too much of a derail, but it shows dealing with AR malfunctions regardless of light, and I feel some of the same principles cross over to pistol malfunctions.

    That's way too much thread drift and can't be answered without seeing actual firearms, ammo and shooters.

    Clever!

    Not sure it effects the utility of this, but certain issues with the trigger spring on a Glock or its installation can cause intermittent dead triggers after a slidelock reload that are best handled by tap-rack. The alternative would work fine too here I think, just take unnecessarily long.

    Separately, I'd guess this isn't universally applicable across all gun platforms. Still, pretty cool idea.
