Yesterday on my first string of fire, my Browning Hi-Power had a failure to extract the fourth shot fired.
Up to that point I was four for four.
In GURPS, this result is impossible.
The Malf number for a normal TL6+ firearm is 17.
So to get a malfunction, I would have had to have rolled a 17 or 18.
Since we established earlier that my effective skill at this event is a 13, a 17 or 18 should be a miss...
But I hit THEN it malf'd.
It did bring home that I need to work on some malfunction drills.

Do you check for accumulated gunk under the extractor when cleaning?
ReplyDeleteThat solved occasional failure to extract issues in my Argentine FM Hi-Power.
Your mileage will almost certainly vary. :)
Especially as I wasn't especially diligent about cleaning it.
I swept under the hook with my finger between heats and it didn't fail again yesterday.
