A common practice to clear a malfunction during shooting. Consists of Tapping the magazine to make sure it's properly seated, Racking the slide or bolt to eject the malfunctioned round and chamber a new one, and Bang signifies that you've cleared your malfunction.
My pistol keeps failing to extract during drills, so I use the Tap, Rack, Bang method to get it working again

Smyrna Bangs can be achieved from curling your bangs, spraying with hairspray, then teasing your bangs with a comb or pick and spraying with hair spray again. The higher and stiffer you can get them the better.
She must use a whole can of Aqua Net to get those Smyrna Bangs so stiff and high. I bet a tornado couldn't mess those Smyrna Bangs up.
