They keep fighting… they are the weapon. The rifle is just a tool.

Depends on the weapon.
M17 pistol?
M4 carbine? Most common
M249 or M240 machine gun?
Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle?

Each weapon system has a specified set of actions taken to address possible malfunctions.

Something like that

The 4 most common failures are:
Failure to fire, to feed, to extract, and to eject.
Each failure requires different remediation.
In the Marines we had a saying.. Tap, Rack, Cant, Bang.

Tap- the magazine to make sure it’s fully seated.
Rack- charge the weapon.
Cant- turn the weapon to observe the ejection port .. you are observing if there is an obstruction.
Bang- attempt to fire.
