It's either unsafe or it's operable.

Also, bangers use 22's because despite popular beliefs, they're effective and quieter.

All guns are unsafe until you have checked and cleared them. Im guessing the lady who didnt know what the hell she had didnt know how to release the magazine or check the chamber.

It can be both. A bomb that was a dud can still eventually explode. Just not when you wanted it to.

Idk man. The odds don't work like that. You ever seen a firearm someone has taken care of malfunction? Odds are it won't fire. Leave it somewhere for almost a century unkept? It's done.

Shit randomly malfunctions all the time. Never assume that a gun is totally safe just because you maintain it.

What I'm saying is, 99% of the time, a malfunction leads to it not firing even when you want it to.
