What Happens When a Bullet Gets Stuck in the Barrel of a Gun or “Squib” load

Hi guys, i'm want share with you information about guns :)
Here is first post about “squib” load . I hope you enjoy.

Squib load

A squib load or squib round or pop and no kick, or just a squib, is a firearms malfunction in which a fired projectile does not have enough force behind it to exit the barrel, and thus becomes stuck.

This type of malfunction can be extremely dangerous, as failing to notice that the projectile has become stuck in the barrel may result in another round being fired directly into the obstructed barrel, resulting in a catastrophic failure of the weapon's structural integrity. Thank you Wiki

A squib is an underpowered cartridge in which either the primer or gunpowder fail to fully ignite and only partially fires the bullet, at less than full force, which often results in the bullet getting stuck partway down the barrel.

A squib can usually be detected by a noticeable change in the sound of the gun firing, or by a noticeable lack of recoil, or if the smoke from the fired round exits through the chamber or ejection port, instead of the end of the barrel.

Diagnosis

Signs of a squib include:

• Much quieter and unusual discharge noise. Smaller or empty powder loads, combined with the primer discharge echoing in the casing or barrel, produce an unusual noise. This noise is often called a "ping" or "pop", rather than the expected "bang" of a standard shot.
• Lighter or nonexistent felt recoil force. lower force on the projectile, insufficient to clear the barrel, translates to a lower recoil force, which may be completely absorbed by the firearm's recoil mechanisms.
• Discharge from the ejection port or cylinder gap, instead of the barrel. The primer and any burned powder produce smoke, less than a standard load, which cannot be vented through the barrel as normal.
• Failure of the action to cycle (in semi-automatic firearms). Both blowback and blowforward semi-automatic designs rely on the recoil force to eject the spent casing and cycle the next round. lighter recoil force may not be sufficient to cycle the action.
• Squib loads are also referred to as "pop and no kick", in recognition of the above symptoms.
