Which malfunction class is used for ammunition performance incidents?

The classification of ammunition performance incidents falls under Class C. This classification is specifically designed to address malfunctions that do not pose an immediate threat to safety but may affect the performance of the ammunition. For example, performance incidents could include issues like inconsistent velocity or accuracy that could impact the effectiveness of the ammunition but do not necessarily result in a hazardous situation.

This classification helps safety professionals identify and manage incidents that could compromise operational effectiveness without the dire safety implications associated with the other classes, such as Class A or Class B, which involve more critical safety issues. In this context, Class C incidents allow for better tracking and analysis of performance-related issues, facilitating improvements in ammunition reliability and performance.
