TABLE IV - Notes:
This table shall be applied separately to the results of
each weapon type at each temperature condition.
A slamfire occurs when a round is unintentionally fired by
manually closing the weapon bolt, without depressing the
trigger of the weapon.
Uncontrolled fire of "three rounds or greater occurs when
three or more rounds are fired in excess of that expected to
be fired. For example, if in single shot mode, one trigger
pull causes four or more rounds to fire, or in three-round
burst mode, one trigger pull causes six or more rounds to
fire.
Any other defect that is likely to result in hazardous or
unsafe conditions.
Uncontrolled fire of two rounds or less occurs when one or
two rounds are fired in excess of that expected to be fired.
For example, if in single-shot mode, one trigger pull causes
two or three rounds to fire, or if in three-round burst
mode, one trigger pull causes four or five rounds to fire.
Any other defect that is not critical but is likely to
result in failure or to reduce materially the usability of
the round or weapon for its intended purpose.
Any other defect that is not likely to reduce materially the
usability of the round or weapon for its intended purpose or
is a departure from established standards having little
bearing on the effective use or operation of the round.
