I belong to several firearm forums and come across many reviews. There are always some about how the shooter experience malfunctions, but in many of them, they fail to mention the full ratio of failures. They might say they had 'X' number of failures, but neglect to mention how many total rds. they fired. I have read magazine reviews about the thousands of rounds that were fired with zero/nary a malfunction. I realize since the importance of a firearm used for defensive purposes and/or possibly used in a conflict, one would want to have a perfect weapon that has zero malfunctions. After all, lives may depend on the reliability of said firearm. Since no firearm is perfect, is there a level of acceptability. All firearms will have a failure eventually, simply by wearing out or not being cleaned periodically. Parts would need to be replaced to attain a perfection, but when should the parts be changed? How often should a firearms be cleaned, after how many rounds?
No firearm is perfect, so what ratio of a failure is acceptable? 1 in a thousand?
Your thoughts?
