Misfire

From PyroGuide

Navigation: Home -> Back

Misfire - shell does not fire. A misfired shell in a mortar should not be removed for at least one minute due the possible presence of live spark inside the shell fuse. It would be best to then dump the shell out behind something solid or into a steel bucket preferably with some water in the bottom.
