eli5: How does a gun backfire? isn’t there any mechanism in place to prevent it from happening?
In: 0
Guns don’t really backfire, what they can do is fire out of battery which means the chamber is not closed all the way. Also if a bullet is manufactured incorrectly and too much gunpowder is added then the explosion can generate more force than the gun can take, this failure is more common in reloaded bullets and antique firearms.
