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 1, English, - short%20recoil
Record number: 1, 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 1, 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 1, French, - insuffisance%20de%20recul
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
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 1, French, - insuffisance%20de%20recul
