Re the above, on a shoot that i beat on we had a gun do the exact same thing. First day of the season birds pouring over him gun malfunctioned and wouldn't fire. Gun was chucked on the floor about 3 yards away from him from chest height and left there. Man on the game cart picked it up with the birds on peg after the drive and gave it a wipe then handed it back, this one was a boss and co!
