Misfire Of A Gun

A misfire is a malfunction of the cartridge of a gun. Specifically it is a malfunction of the primer or gunpowder of the cartridge. Misfires can be categorized as duds, hang-fires and squibs. Duds happen when the primer is struck by the firing pin and nothing happens (failure to discharge). A hang-fire is when you have a delayed discharge (you pull the trigger and the gun fires after a few seconds or more). A squibs occurs when their is insufficient gunpowder or insufficient burning of the gunpowder and the bullet gets stuck in the barrel.
