Where is the line, and what is the line?


FWIW (which, I realize, is but a small portion of the check Koski got for sewing Nationals Smokin )
Brand X says exactly where their line is:


5.7.4
In the event that a handgun malfunction cannot be corrected by the
competitor within 2 minutes, he must point the handgun safely downrange
and advise the Range Officer, who will terminate the course of
fire (excluding any unattempted component strings in a Standard
Exercise) in the normal manner. The course of fire (excluding any unattempted
component strings in a Standard Exercise) will be scored as
shot including all applicable misses and penalties

Peoples' emotions to the contrary, the DNF scoring language in the IDPA rulebook specifies a "broken gun".
