Yeah I'm pretty serious. To be fair I have had two cartridge blow outs on hot barreled GPMG's and LMG minimi's. As you said, as quickly as possible is right. But that is in a firefight situation. I was in the military so it's not a nice try.
It's a fact. Drills are drills for a reason.
If you were in my platoon and you were on the range with a misfire with any weapon system and you thought you'd quickly pop the round out, you'd have a helmet thrown at your face.
Your CF forces guys are 100% right. Clear the MALFUNCTION. Five types, ill fitted mag, blockage, empty, misfire, gas stoppage. You clear it as fast as possible but correctly. You can ask any soldier how they are TAUGHT to clear these and I can gaurantee that a removal of a round on a misfire instantaneously is not true. They may not follow that imediate action drill after training. There own death/injury wish. A Misfire needs a pause to allow for possible detonation later on. If you eject that round, there IS a possiblity in fact it will go off out of the chamber.
And for the guy on the 1919 I couldn't care less if you wouldn't want to be near me when doing drills. They'd be done right and I've seen weapon injuries of all kinds including misfire injuries so I don't mind being flamed for doing things right. In no way am I saying that this is how it's done all the time. I'm saying thy extracting a round straight away on a misfire is not good.
Respectably
