Carcano clip how many bullets has to be in a clip for it to fire

[Gordon Gray]

It's taken me 3 days searching but I managed to find this clip (excuse the bad language in the clip)

He manages to load and eject 1, and 4 and 6 bullets.

So I suppose LHO could have theoretically used his last 4 bullets and made the gun fire 3 of them but the clip would have fallen
out when the last bullet was chambered( around 6:15 in the video). So why would the clip not be found with the shell casings. An interesting finding
although not what I was looking for.

Alan, good find, it answers the question of loading a short clip, can be done overcoming slight problem of loose shells.
The clip should have fallen out when the last round was chambered, I believe the WC solved this by saying the clip was bent and stuck.

Thanks for the video evidence
Bob

This is of course baloney, for if the clip was bent the gun would have misfired.
