“but finally found one cartridge I was able to slide into the chamber.

I worked the action furiously, once, twice, and again, realizing dimly as I did that in doing so I was actually ejecting the shells, unspent,”

enough bullshit for me

.....cognatively conflicts with this.....

I must confide in all of you one little secret: in my entire lifetime of experience with firearms, NOT ONCE has one cartridge turned into something that allowed me to cycle the action three times, ejecting shell*S* (plural).

I mean, yeah, okay, Jesus did it with fishes and loaves, but that was a long time ago, and Jesus was the Son of God.

So there's that.
