Is it dangerous to attempt shooting heavy grease out of a gun?

  1. Yes, it can cause a malfunction

  2. No, it is a common practice

  3. Only if the gun is dirty

  4. Not at all, it’s safe

The correct answer is: Yes, it can cause a malfunction

Attempting to shoot heavy grease out of a gun can indeed be dangerous because it can lead to an improper functioning of the firearm. When heavy grease is used, it can cause increased pressure in the chamber, leading to potential malfunctions such as misfires or even explosions. Firearms are designed to expel specific types of ammunition, and using substances that are not intended for this purpose can interfere with the mechanical operation of the gun. Moreover, the build-up of heavy grease can also attract debris, further complicating the firing process. Safety is paramount with firearms, and adhering to recommended practices and using appropriate materials is essential to ensure the weapon operates reliably and safely.
