Several things can cause a Multiple Cylinder Misfire. First and most obvious are your spark plugs and wires. If they havent been changed within the last year that you can remember its time to change them. Faulty Crankshaft sensor would also cause this to happen but is unlikely.

What could be wrong with a 1999 Dodge Neon that misfires when put in gear and has a very bad fuel smell inside the car and registers fault codes 27 43?

Well, a code 43 is telling you that you have multiple misfires. The code 27 is a problem with your fuel injectors. Given this and the fact that you smell gas, I would suspect a gas leak at the fuel rail or in the line. Interrupted fuel supply would certianly cause a misfire.

A misfire has nothing to do with the way you use your firearm unless it is related to a lack of cleaning and maintenance. It could be the ammunition, especially if you are using old military surplus. If it misfires, you need to take it to a gunsmith and let him determine the cause.
