#1 Been on the wrong end of this scene. Luckily the f*wad cycled the action rather than pulling the trigger immediately.

#2 I remember a story years ago about an elderly lady who brought her recently deceased husband's Colt 1911 into a gun shop to sell it. The gunsmith removed the empty magazine, pulled the slide to the rear and released it, pointed the barrel toward the ceiling and pulled the trigger. To their mutual surprise, a round went directly through the ceiling and roof of his shop.

A visual checking of the chamber is an important step in the clearing of a weapon.

#5 Shooters on the line - cease fire - make your weapon safe!
A complete safe weapons is;
--Place the weapon on safe
--Remove the magazine
--Lock the slide to the rear
--Conduct a visual and physical inspection of the chamber and the magazine well
--Look away - conduct a second visual/physical inspection
--Stand by for a safety check from a line instructor

I've easily said this a 1000 times

#6 Also consider slow burns or the double-strike required for hard primers.
