The breakage rate with us has been nil so far (the guns are new), but over on the Navy side the breakage rate is up there. Also, they use milspec ammo whereas we buy ours direct from the manufacture and maybe they have less pressure. I have to say they've been completely reliable when it comes to operating though. I ask our RSOs to keep track of malfunctions for me, and to date, I can't recall any. Our annual consumption is about 30K rounds through about 100 guns.
That's a fairly important, but sometimes overlooked distinction.......the NATO 9mm ammo is a fair amount warmer than standard commercial ammo is unless it's of the +P version. A steady diet of the warmer stuff will have an effect on many designs. MM

America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Looking back on this thread was interesting. I'm a bit surprised I called it on the nose, even the fact the military would insist on a safety. I'm usually not that good.
