Failure to feed. I have noticed in the civilian world, magazine are ignored as if they have some sort life time maintainence design from the manufacture. I have only seen military folks talking magazines apart for cleaning, inspecting and lubrication. Magazines need love and care too!

That has not been my experience.

I have seen magazine stick causing a failure to feed from improper maintenance, dirt, damaged or wierd loading (ie; jamming 22 rds in a 20 rd mag). The simpliest solution is what has been suggested, drop it, and insert a new mag.

Not to belabor the point, but this does not relieve one from having to "RACK".
The TRB method was designed to address all occurrences. No need to learn several techniques when one covers all the bases. Sure.......a TAP may not have been needed..........due to failure to charge the weapon. But IF the magazine was not seated then you can charge all day.
I have thought and thought and thought, but cannot come up with a common occurrence in which this method does not work.
Simplicity and Success
TAP: Just in case the mag is not seated or... see Hollis' comment above about sticking mag.
RACK: Clears the jam, stove pipe, loads an empty weapon, discharges a dud, ad infinitum.
BANG: You are back in the fight.
Endorphin's first post is an example of why "One Technique".
It is easy to teach and remember.
78,300 hits when one searches TRB. I noticed several where people are arguing against this method. They have inserted "their" variations. One was Tap Rap...... Assess and Then Bang. What the.......????
