What should you do if your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled?

  1. Continue pulling the trigger

  2. Keep it pointed in a safe direction and wait

  3. Immediately open the action

  4. Look down the barrel to check for obstructions

The correct answer is: Keep it pointed in a safe direction and wait

If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, do not continue pulling the trigger as this can be dangerous and lead to accidental discharge. Looking down the barrel to check for obstructions is also unsafe as the gun may accidentally fire. Instead, keep the gun pointed in a safe direction and wait to troubleshoot the issue. Opening the action should also not be the first course of action as it may release a loaded round. It is important to always prioritize safety.
