Article re Gun stoppages and reasons why.
Stoppage: Failure of the weapon to function as designed because of a mechanical defect or shooter induced condition. A stoppage can be cleared by performing correct immediate action/remedial action procedures and does not require the use of tools or disassembly of the weapon.
