This could be a lot of reasons. Are you sure it is the correct caliber of ammunition? The bullet could be too long, and engaging the rifling...It could be an extractor problem...Are they reloads or handloads?

Any more info would definitely help.

Can you fire m 16 ammo with ak 74?

No you cannot.Size of bore is different, cartridge dimensions are different, all precluding a good chambering of the .223 round. Which then precludes a bolt spin and locking closure, which prevents the sear from releasing the hammer.


How does a sub machine gun work?

basically like a normal machine gun its just smaller for better maneuverability. A submachine gun works by cycling the bolt carrier rearwards to cock the weapon. When the bolt carrier is released by depressing the trigger, it moves forward chambering a round, locking the bolt and then firing. The recoil from the round unlocks the bolt and pushes the bolt carrier rearwards again which strips the round from the chamber and ejects it from the weapon.


Where is the pivot bolt on a 1992 Geo Prizm?

A pivot bolt holds a component in place but allows it to rotate about an axis. There is also a locking bolt which keeps the component from rotating. You need to loosen the locking bolt to allow movement. In order to replace the part you remove both the pivot and locking bolts. Common places for a pivot bolt are the alternator and the power steering pump.

How do you tighten the alternator belt on a 1994 Geo Prizm?

Looking into the engine compartment from the passenger side you you will see two large bolts and a smaller bolt on the alternator. The large upper bolt is the pivot bolt, the lower bolt is the locking bolt. The third bolt is used to adjust belt tension. 1. Loosen the alternator locking bolt. You may need a breaker bar to free the bolt. 2. Loosen the pivot bolt. 3. Turn the tension bolt counter clockwise to loosen tension, clockwise to increase tension. 4. Tighten the pivot bolt and locking bolt.

How does a machine gun work?

All machine guns follow a cycle of steps. 1. Pulling the bolt rearward(manually or electrically). It stays there until the trigger is pressed making the bolt carrier move forward. 2. Trigger activation makes the bolt carrier move forward, chambering a round and locking the bolt. 3. Firing the round by striking or electrically activating the primer. 4. Unlocking the bolt and moving the bolt carrier rearwards which unchambers the casing and ejects it out of the weapon. 5. Cycling the next round into the chamber via spring pressure from a magazine or through a cam mechanism from a belt or box.


Which bolt starts the pump and which bolt stops the pump?

There should be a bolt with a locking nut at its base protruding vertically from the top. Hold the bolt (with either a screwdriver, adjustable wrench, or pliers, as needed) and "unlock" the locking nut by turning it counter-clockwise. Now turn the bolt to adjust the pressure. Remember, "down is up" meaning that screwing the bolt down (clockwise) will raise the pressure and turning the bolt up will lower the pressure ("up is down"). Most residential PRV's have an adjusting range of 25 to 75 pounds. Remember to reset the locking nut when you are finished.


What are open bolt sub machine gun?

At the start of the firing sequence, the bolt is held to the rear. Pulling the trigger permits the bolt to move forward, stripping a cartridge from the magazine, chambering, firing, extracting and ejecting it. A closed bolt gun starts the firing squence with a round already chambered, and the bolt closed on the cartridge. The M3 Greasegun was an open bolt, the Thompson SMG a closed bolt.
