This bot provides help to participants in a page-specific communication session, the bot joining the session upon the exchanged content indicating that assistance may be needed. The helper bot is basically an extension of the content monitoring bot and like the latter uses stealth mode to silently join and monitor content in a selected session... The helper bot monitors for triggers that are specified, for example, in the form of specific content(such as particular keywords like "help" or the equivalent in other media types), content combinations, or content patterns. A trigger condition can involve content combinations or patterns involving content from multiple channels. 1, record 1, English, - helper%20bot

Malfunction in a semi-automatic or automatic weapon where: a. in a closed bolt design, the bolt/breechblock does not recoil sufficiently rearward to feed the next cartridge or cock the firing mechanism, or: b. in an open bolt design, the bolt/breechblock does not recoil sufficiently rearward to be engaged and retained by the sear. 1, record 5, English, - short%20recoil
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
This malfunction is normally caused by the insufficiency of gas or by the gradual fouling of the weapon. Since open bolt mechanisms usually use a fixed firing pin, this condition may result in a runaway weapon, i. e. which continues firing after the trigger is released. 1, record 5, English, - short%20recoil

Incident de tir propre aux armes semi-automatiques ou automatiques qui survient: a. dans une arme à culasse fermée, lorsque la culasse ne recule pas suffisamment vers l'arrière pour alimenter la prochaine cartouche ou armer le mécanisme de mise de feu. b. dans une arme à culasse ouverte, lorsque la culasse ne recule pas suffisamment vers l'arrière pour être attrapée et retenue par la gâchette. 1, record 5, French, - insuffisance%20de%20recul

Cet incident de tir est d'habitude causé par l'insuffisance de gaz ou par l'encrassement progressif de l'arme. Étant donné que les mécanismes à culasse ouverte utilisent normalement un percuteur fixe, il peut en résulter une arme emballée, i.e. qui continue à tirer après le relâchement de la détente. 1, record 5, French, - insuffisance%20de%20recul
