If a revolver doesn’t fire, pulling the trigger brings a new round to try again. You can keep pulling the trigger after a misfire, and subsequent rounds might work.

If a magazine fed weapon doesn’t fire, then the gun will not work until you manually get another round into the chamber and cock the weapon.
