Well, here it is in words anyway.
Relibility Algorythm
Why? To test a type of ammo for suitability for defense purposes
How much faith should I put in it?
This test has a
95% chance to eliminate any cartridge with a > or = to 1% chance of misfeeding
(i.e. a 5% chance to allow a ‘bad’ type of ammo to pass)
and,
95% chance to give a pass to any cartridge with a < or = to 0.11% chance of misfeeding
(i.e. a 5% chance to mistakenly flunk a cartridge that in reality does have a 1-in-1000 or less chance of misfeeding)
start:
Fire 320 rounds and count the misfeeds (jams):
If ZERO misfeeds, the ammo passes. You're done.
If 1 misfeed, proceed to pathway A below.
If 2 misfeeds, proceed to Pathway B below.
If 3 or more misfeeds, the ammo flunks. You're done.
Pathway A:
Fire 280 more rounds:
if ZERO additional jams in this 280 rounds, the ammo passes.
if 1 or more additional jams in this 280 rounds occurs, the ammo flunks.
Pathway B:
Fire 560 more rounds:
if ZERO additional jams, the ammo passes.
if 1 or more additional jams, the ammo flunks.
Buying ammo: minimum 320 rds needed, max 880; average 405.
Other causes of failure could be your choice of platform, or weak wrist grip in semi-autos, etc. This just tests the ammo.
The chart looked so much better, i just wanted to share. But better luck next time. Unless someone can tell me how to save a word document as a jpeg?
