Partial or complete fracture around the body of a fired cartridge case. In a complete rupture, the cartridge case separates into two parts, the forward portion remaining in the chamber and causing the next round to jam. This is a serious defect usually caused by bad bolt/breechblock locking, improper timing, excessive headspace, a defective cartridge case, or a combination of these.

Fracture partielle ou totale autour du corps d'une douille tirée. Dans le cas d'une rupture totale, la douille se sépare en deux parties, la partie avant restant dans la chambre et causant un enrayage lors de l'entrée de la prochaine cartouche. Il s'agit d'un défaut grave habituellement dû au mauvais verrouillage de la culasse, à une mauvaise synchronisation, à une feuillure excessive, à un défaut de la douille ou à toute combinaison de ces facteurs.
