Keep pointing the gun at the target for at least 10 full seconds.
If the round does not go off, try re-cocking the gun and attempt to fire it again.
If you have to open the action to re-cock the gun or if it still doesn't go off after a second strike at the primer by the firing pin, carefully open the action of the gun keeping the cartridge away from your face. Always wear shooting glasses with shatter-resistant lenses when shooting or loading /unloading guns.
