CONT

Il convient après le tir de désarmer les chiens de percussion pour permettre à leur ressort de rester en position de repos. Il faut cependant éviter de percuter à vide, ce qui risquerait d'abîmer ou même de casser les percuteurs, du fait que l'énergie transmise par les chiens ne serait pas absorbée par l'amorçage de la cartouche.
