The complaint allegation was confirmed.One unpackaged ar-9510-2 serial number, (b)(6), was received for investigation.Functional test with ar-9510-14 found that the device is functioning as intended.When the broach handled trigger was pressed, the matting part was released.The returned device was visually inspected, and it was noted that the 20° r hole is obstructed with a piece of presumably matting part ar-9510-01 that was broken off inside the hole.The visual inspection also noted severe signs of wear on the device, as many scratches, discoloration, and dents throughout the device¿s body.The most likely cause for the reported failure is user error for applying excessive force during use.
