70.0 OPERATIONAL NOTES
70.1 Stoppages. In the event of stoppages occurring at a
rate greater than that allowed by Table IV during firing of the
test, a detailed check shall be made to determine whether the
ammunition or the equipment is at fault. If the stoppage was
caused by a misfire, the check of the weapon shall include
measurement of the firing-pin protrusion and firing-pin indent.
To assist in determining whether ammunition or equipment is
responsible for a stoppage, it is good practice to test the
weapon in question using ammunition of known characteristics, and
to test the ammunition in question by firing in another weapon of
the same type. If it is established that some faulty condition
of the weapon is responsible for the stoppage, then the test
shall be disregarded, the weapon shall be corrected or replaced,
