Which action should be taken if a gun fails to fire after the trigger is pulled?

Try to fire again immediately
Keep the gun pointed downrange and wait
Shake the gun and try again
Disassemble the gun to check

The correct answer is: Keep the gun pointed downrange and wait

If a gun fails to fire after the trigger is pulled, the best course of action is to keep the gun pointed downrange and wait. This is because attempting to fire again immediately could result in a misfire, and shaking the gun or disassembling it could potentially lead to accidental discharge or cause damage to the gun. It is important to always follow gun safety protocols and properly handle any malfunctions.
