35-38 ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT
m. Complete rupture.-A circumferential separation of the metal
completely around the body of the fired cartridge case causing it to
separate into two parts. If such rupture occurs, upon extraction,
the forward portion of the fired cartridge case remains in the cham-
ber of the weapon. This is a serious defect, causing the next round
of ammunition to jam. It is usually due to excessive head space or
a defective cartridge case.
n. Partial rupture.-A partial circumferential separation around
the body of the fired cartridge case, like a complete rupture, is a
serious defect, as upon extraction, the portion of the metal holding
the two parts of the cartridge case may give way, thereby leaving
the forward portion of the fired cartridge case in the chamber of
the weapon. This defect is also usually due to excessive head space
or a defective cartridge case.
36. Field reports of accidents.-Any serious malfunctions of
ammunition must be reported promptly to the ordnance officer under
whose supervision the material is maintained and issued. (See
par. 7, AR 45-30.)
