'''Chain-fire''', or '''chainfiring''', occurs when the flash from a [[blackpowder]] [[revolver]] [[chamber]] being fired ingnites the charges in surrounding chambers. To say that this can be a startling experience is a gross understatement.  It is an unnerving and '''potentially dangerous''' occurrence.  A chainfiring weapon discharges [[projectiles]] when the shooter does not expect and from cylinder chambers which are not in alignment with the [[barrel]].

The use of over-sized balls in loading the revolver lessens the chance of chain firing — ''to a certain degree''. However, to completely seal the chambers, most commonly recommended is the use of a wad or sealing with a thin layer of lube after the ball is loaded.
