There are several reasons for hang fires and or miss fires. The most common is due to damp or old powder or moisture in the barrel (oil water) Try a new batch of powder and see if that cures it. Other sources are poor ignition or spark strength, percussion caps get damp or old and loose there spark, or with flintlocks your flint may be dull or dirty or the flash pan may be dirty. next would be the spark path, the nipple may be damaged or clogged or the hole from the nipple to the barrel could be plugged, or in the case of flintlock the flash hole could be plugged. A good cleaning with hot soapy water should clear it up, and check the nipple for any damage or mushrooming and change it out if there is any question.
