Is it possible that these officers gave their weapons to a junior soldier to clean them rather than do so themselves, and perhaps during the course of which there was something happened during the cleaning or reassembling of both the pistols that caused the malfunction - perhaps a spring missing or placed wrong, which caused these to fail? I don't know. So perhaps it was intervention, but perhaps it was one of those rare oddities where 2 guns were defective for whatever reason. The intended effect is usually to force a round into the chamber if it hangs up for any reason, sort of like the old trick of hitting the slide of a semi. This moves the bolt forward and chambers a round. To actuate it, you press the button on the forward assist assembly. In a story as moving and brutal as it is, there is no need for such exaggerations, where truth is already both more strange and sad than fiction. A forward assist is used to push the rifle’s bolt carrier groups closed. When a plan misfires, it doesnt work quite the way you imagined it would. So it is highly likely the incident happened and not simply added for dramatic purpose. When an engine or weapon misfires, it doesnt function or ignite correctly. It's likely that this was recounted by one of the survivors to Thomas Kenneally and was included in his book, Schindler's Ark, which used first hand accounts and documents kept by various survivors, most notably Poldek Pfeifferberg.
#GUN JAM MEANING MOVIE#
Although the odds of 2 such pistols jamming or failing as depicted in the movie would be pretty high, but it is possible under the right circumstances. They were known to both accidently discharge, as well as jam or fail to fire.Īllied soldiers were often wounded by trying to takes these as souvenirs. Repeat as needed until the gun either works or you have to transition to another means to reduce the threat. Rack the slide, or charging handle to the rear to attempt to feed a new round into the chamber. From what I remember of my studies of WWII, the standard issue sidearm for German officers was the Luger, which was and has always been notoriously unreliable. Tap the bottom of the magazine to ensure it is properly seated.
