A primer pop (squib load) happens when the cartridge does not contain any gunpowder. The firearm will discharge the primer without the usual noise or recoil. This may have enough force to push the bullet out of the case, but the bullet may lodge in the barrel. If another bullet is fired, the barrel may rupture and cause possible injury. 3, record 1, English, - squib%20load

Un coup d’amorce [...] survient lorsque la cartouche ne contient aucune poudre. Le coup de feu n’ a pas le bruit ou le recul habituel. L'explosion de l'amorce peut avoir suffisamment de puissance pour pousser la balle à l'extérieur de la douille, mais elle peut rester coincée dans le canon.

The centre joint being supported in that slightly negative position, recoil pressure on the breech face tends only to strengthen the lock. Recoil is thus transferred via the linkage to the slide or barrel extension and so permit the bolt and barrel to recoil together locked firmly, until the toggle is unlocked by camming action, e.g. Maxim and Vickers machine-guns, 9 mm Luger pistol. 2, record 9, English, - toggle%20action

A la fermeture, la genouillère se redresse et est verrouillée en baissant son axe central légèrement au-dessous des axes des deux extrémités. Le joint central étant supporté dans cette position légèrement négative, la poussée des gaz sur la face de la culasse ne peut que renforcer le verrouillage. Le recul est donc transmis par la genouillère à la glissière ou rallonge de canon, ce qui permet à la culasse et au canon de reculer solidairement, jusqu’à ce que la genouillère soit déverrouillée par l’action d’une came, e.g. les mitrailleuses Maxim et Vickers, le pistolet Luger de 9 mm. 1, record 9, French, - m%C3%A9canisme%20%C3%A0%20genouill%C3%A8re
