1/ The malfunctions- and-unserviceable parts shall not exceed
those allowed for the pistols combined. As an example for the
three (3) pistol reliability test, one (1) instance of
uncontrolled fire, or one (1) cracked barrel, or seven (7)
unserviceable parts or nineteen (19) malfunctions would each be
a failure to achieve the requirement. When a series of
malfunctions is traceable to particular parts, it is permissible
to replace such parts and record them as unserviceable (see note
2/) and combine the series of malfunctions as one chargeable
malfunction occurrence, subject to the following limitations.
When a contractor failure analysis, as agreed to by a Government
representative, establishes that previously recorded
malfunctions are attributable to an unserviceable part(s), such
malfunctions shall be counted as only one (1) malfunction,
provided they occurred not more than 200 rounds prior to
replacement of the unserviceable part(s). These 200 rounds
shall have been fired with the unserviceable part(s) in the
pistol. However, such malfunctions shall remain recorded and
properly identifed. Similar malfunctions which occur outside
of the zoo round limit are exempt from this special provision
and must each be charged as one malfunction occurrence.
For the total production-lot test sample of 3 pistols, no more
than 9 of the allowed malfunctions shall be attributable to any
one type of failure (e.g., failure-to-feed). Further, no more
than 6 malfunctions of any one type (e.g., failure-to-feed)
shall be allowed on any one of the test pistols. For example, a
lot would be acceptable with 9 failures-to-eject only if no more
than 6 of those failures occur on any one pistol. Ten failure-
to-eject malfunctions would fail a lot, as would 7 failures-to-
eject on any one pistol.
For the total first article test sample of 15 pistols, no more
than 45 of the allowed malfunctions shall be attributable to any
one type of failure (e.g., failure-to-eject). further, no more
than 6 malfunctions of any one type (e.g. , failure-to-eject)
shall be allowed on any one of the test pistols. For example
the first article would be acceptable with 45 failures-to-feed
only if no more than 6 of those failures occur on any one
pistol, Fourty-six failures-to-feed malfunctions would fail the
lot, as would 7 failures-to-feed on any one pistol.
2/ An unserviceable part is defined as any part which fails to
perform its Intended function, is broken or visible cracked, or
whose condition impairs the safety of the pistol. It includes
broken or set springs, a burred or broken extractor, ejector,
firing pin, etc. , and magazine failures such as bent side walls
bent or cracked lips, or distored follower. It includes all
parts replaced during corrective and preventive maintenance, as
