4. NEVER SHOOT AT WATER OR AT A HARD SURFACE.
Shooting at the surface of water or at
a rock or other hard surface increases
the chance of ricochets or
fragmentation of the bullet or shot,
which can result in the projectile
striking an unintended or peripheral
target.
5. KNOW THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE FIREARM YOU
ARE USING, BUT REMEMBER: SAFETY DEVICES ARE NOT
A SUBSTITUTE FOR SAFE HANDLING PROCEDURES.
Never rely solely on a safety device to prevent an accident. It is
imperative that you know and use the safety features of the
particular firearm you are handling, but accidents can best be
prevented by following the safe handling procedures described
in these safety rules and elsewhere in the product manual. To
further familiarize yourself with the proper use of this or other
firearms, take a Firearms Safety Course taught by an expert in
firearms use and safety procedures.
6. PROPERLY MAINTAIN YOUR FIREARM.
Store and carry your firearm so that
dirt or lint does not accumulate in the
working parts. Clean and oil your
firearm, following the instructions
provided in this manual, after each
use to prevent corrosion, damage to
the barrel or accumulation of
impurities which can prevent use of
the gun in an emergency. Always
check the bore and chamber(s) prior
to loading to ensure that they are clean and free from
obstructions. Firing with an obstruction in the barrel or chamber
can rupture the barrel and injure you or others nearby. In the
event you hear an unusual noise when shooting, stop firing
immediately, engage the manual safety and unload the firearm.
Make sure the chamber and barrel are free from any
