Current guns average 1,691 rounds before jamming and they want a gun capable of 3,592 rounds before stoppage.

What's the Izhmash AK-101's stoppage average?

[mrvash]

Jamming is a term commonly used to describe a malfunction of a firearm. Although, for each malfunction, there are proper terms that can be applicable.

[DFence]

Oh so like the clip in my assault rifle made it jam?
