I believe that Peregrino and CoLawman hit this nail on the head with their explainations behind the teaching and use of the TapRackBang drill.

OK, so let's talk about the M4...

How's this for remediating a double feed malfunction, or similar, in a Colt M4:

1. Lock the bolt to the rear...
2. Rip/Remove the mag from the magazine well...
3. Rack the charging handle 2-3 times, or until the weapon is clear of any rounds/
casings...
4. Insert new magazine...
5. Rack the charging handle...

or, would it be better to just automatically drop the mag first as Gene Econ suggested, followed by steps 3 through 5 as described above.

(Yes, transition to handgun first if rounds are needed on a threat. And later remediate the M4 using whatever best cover is available.)
