Be very careful with mis-fires- you could actually be lined up for a very delayed hang-fire and opening the bolt on that can be disastrous.
With NRA shooting, the rule is WAIT 30 secs before opening the bolt on a mis-fire, and even then, with the port facing down. Personally I'd feel safe after 5 secs but this rule is obviously based on (bad) real world events..
