A slamfire is a discharge of a firearm occurring as a cartridge is being loaded into the chamber. Some firearms are designed to slamfire, but the term also describes a malfunction of self-loading firearms. Shooters accustomed to firearms requiring trigger activation for discharge may be unprepared for a slamfire discharge.
An MFL tool is known as an "intelligent" or "smart" inspection pig because it contains electronics and collects data real-time while traveling through the pipeline. Sophisticated electronics on board allow this tool to accurately detect anomalies as small as 1 mm 2, which can include dimensions of a pipeline wall as well as its depth and ...
The striker of the gun strikes the cap and fires the mixture. For larger guns an electric primer is used, the internal construction and action of which are precisely similar to the wireless tube already described; the exterior is screwed for the case. For percussion firing an ordinary percussion tube is placed in an adapter screwed into the case.

Rimfire cartridges use a thin brass case with a hollow bulge, or rim, around the back end. This rim is filled during manufacture with an impact-sensitive primer. In the wet state, the primer is stable; a pellet of wet primer is placed in the shell and simply spun around to cover the full extremes of the rim.
The primer is actually struck BEFORE the round is fully chambered and the propellant is ignited as the round moves forward. This is known as "advance primer ignition" and is a design feature of this class of weapon, which allows a lighter bolt to be used. This could be referred to as "slamfire" but is not the traditional use of the term.
More advanced improvised guns can use parts from other gun-like products. One example is the cap gun. A cap gun can be disassembled, and a barrel added, turning the toy gun into a real one. A firing pin can then be added to the hammer, to concentrate the force onto the primer of the cartridge.
The oil and whiting method used an oil solvent for cleaning followed by the application of a whiting or chalk coating, which absorbed oil from the cracks revealing their locations. Soon a dye was added to the liquid. By the 1940s, the fluorescent or visible dye was added to the oil used to penetrate test objects.
