"Stove pipe" is the term given to a failure to feed "jam". In semi and full auto weapons, the empty case sticking out of the action looks like a cartoon stove pipe. All the more reason to learn shot placement and carry a revolver. 'Tho that might not be practical for a military operation.

I would have said that it is a "failure to eject".

The options are failiure to feed, fire, extract, and eject.
