I experienced a misfire on a C1 once when firing a salute at the graduating ceremony at CMR St Jean in 1974 or 75. It is very disconcerting when as a gun commander you yell Fire and only hear a click and no boom. We replaced the firing lock and tried again on the next go around with the same result. We then sent our ammo to the other guns and waited 30 min. or more before the TSM and BQMS unloaded the blank round. And yes the primer cap was struck.
