Which malfunction is described as a double-feed (two rounds)?

• A. Double-feed (two rounds).
• B. Stovepipe.
• C. Misfire/delay (ignition issue).
• D. Failure to eject.

Answer: (A)

Double-feed is when two rounds attempt to feed into the chamber during cycling, causing a jam. Instead of one round moving into the chamber and the spent casing from the previous round being ejected, a second round is pushed up, leaving the action blocked. This specific situation is described directly by the idea of two rounds being present or attempting to enter the chamber, which is why it’s the correct description for a two-round malfunction. Stovepipe refers to a spent casing getting stuck in the ejection port, not two rounds in the chamber. Misfire or delay is an ignition issue where the primer doesn’t ignite (or is delayed). Failure to eject is when the spent cartridge doesn’t eject after firing. Each of these describes a different cycling problem, not two rounds feeding at once.
