minus-squaremipadaitu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 days agoTypically there’s a documented hang fire wait time before starting any recovery process. Though the official process and the actual process is probably pretty different, especially after multiple hang fires. Eventually they probably just see the dud, flip over the mortar to dump out the dud, throw it as far as possible, then try the next one.
