When teaching new shooters, I hope that eventually they will be able to shoot independently. However, a big part of this includes not just safe handling, but also how to troubleshoot (no pun intended). How are they supposed to know how to handle a jam? I explain it in words and tell them things of the nature of "keep it pointed downrange, take the magazine out or dump the rounds, and cycle the action, if that doesn't work, more invasive effort might be needed.".
But do you do anything else besides an abstract telling? We try to keep our guns in good working order, so a jam has never come up except for an occasional short stroke with a pump action, which is easily remedied.
Do you ever get the opportunity to actually show problem clearing in action?
