First, keep the muzzle pointed downrange in a safe direction for at least 1 minute. HANGFIRE means that firing has been DELAYED- it MAY happen when you do not expect it. After 1 full minute, reprime the arm, and attempt to fire a second time. If it is a caplock, replace the cap. If a flintlock, replace the priming powder in the pan, and attempt to refire. If it still does not fire, wait a full 5 minutes. Remove the barrel from the firearm, place in flat in a container of warm water, submerging the barrel. Let soak at least 30 minutes, the use a bullet puller to remove the bullet, wash out powder, dry, reassembled.
