General rule: after a misfire, control the firearm with the action closed and muzzle pointed down range or in a safe direction for 30 seconds. Most "slow discharges" will occur within 2 seconds from the point of impact on the primer. "Slow discharges" occur due to several reasons which include: defective primer, damp powder charge, smaller than usual powder charge displaced away from the primer opening, towards the projectile base, etc.

They ceRtenetly do. A turtle's backbone is attached to it's shell. If you were to see a turtle shell that had been removed from the turtle, you would see it's backbone attached to it. (Unless it was removed.) This is why one cannot removed a turtle from it's shell without it dying and it's insides falling out.

What does 410 bore proof tested mean?

It means that you have a .410 shotgun, and that the barrel has been subjected to a "proof" test. A special high pressure shell is fired during proofing that has much more energy than any shell you could buy. If the gun can safely fire that very powerful shell, it has been "proofed", and should be safe to fire with any standard shell.

What does a slide lock do on a shotgun?

It unlocks the gun from being 'in battery'. It is the equivalent to throwing a bolt up in a bolt action gun, unlocking the action. If you had a shotgun with the slide unlocked and fired it, the equal and opposite reaction from firing the shell would propel the forstock backwards, and some or much of the shot and the explosion from the shot would exit from the ejection port of the gun or from the bottom where the shell elevator is. Once the trigger has been released (ie pulled) the slide is automatically unlocked.

What does an ejector spring in a shotgun do?

Its quite simple as that it ejects the shotgun shell out of the gun after it has been fired but this depends on the type. A double or single barrel shotgun would only eject the shells when u hit the release mechanism to reveal your side of the barrel then they eject out.On any other type shot gun where u load 8 or have a clip they generally fling out the side when re-cocked or if automatic they do this automatically.
