The Failure to Eject<\/h2>\n

In a failure to eject type of malfunction, the fired cartridge case is extracted from the chamber. However, it does not get ejected with enough force to clear the ejection port. The base remains partially in the gun<\/a>, getting captured between the bolt face and the chamber mouth. <\/p>\n

One of the reasons for this happening is a light load that does not allow the slide to travel its complete length, coupled with the lack of ejection force strength. Those factors contribute to the shell case not being able to clear the ejection port. The slide then moves forward with the shell case pressed against the bolt face. Because of this, the slide cannot close, and the gun gets jammed.<\/p>\n
