What should you do if there is a bullet lodged in the bore of your weapon?

• A. In Training - you may need to fire anyway. While Fighting - stop shooting and check the weapon.
• B. In Training - you may need to fire anyway. While Fighting - stop shooting and check the weapon.
• C. In Training - stop shooting and check the weapon. While Fighting - you may need to fire anyway.
• D. Ignore the issue and continue to engage.

Answer: (C)

When a bullet is lodged in the bore, the priority is safety and avoiding a catastrophic barrel failure. In a training environment you have the time to pause, stop firing, and inspect the weapon to clear the obstruction before continuing. In a fighting scenario, immediate threat may require you to continue engaging to stop the danger, but you should still address the bore issue as soon as it’s safely possible—continue firing if needed to survive, then clear the bore at the earliest safe moment. Ignoring the obstruction is unsafe, so the correct approach separates actions by context: stop and check in training, while you may need to keep firing in a fight and clear the bore when feasible.
