Gary,
In the case of the revolver shooter with the dud round. That shooter fired 11 of the 12 rounds the COF required. He had a malfunction/dud round. He had additional ammo on his person (2 speedloaders if he was carrying the SSR/ESR required ammo load). He had the opportunity to reload the gun and finish the COF as required. He chose not to do do. That is a specific FTDR in the current Rule Book.
The semi-auto shooter with a magazine full of dud rounds would be, IMO, a different matter. If he attempted to fire the required number of rounds but was prevented from doing so by faulty ammunition... and if he had no other servicable ammunition with him... then there is certainly no FTDR, because he made the attempt. As to whether to issue a PE for failing to fire the minimum specified rounds, or to use DNF/briken gun scoring... I would say that's a judgement call. Personally... if the shooter made the attempt I wouldn't issue a PE and I would go with DNF scoring.
IMHO, FTDR requires 'intent' on the shooter's part (which is why I view it as a poor rule, because intent is not always easy to discern). In the case of the revolver shooter who chose not to make the reload, and made no attempt at a reload... I would issue a FTDR as outlined in the Rule Book. It is clear in "failing to reload to fire the last round because the score would be better" (or something like that... but it's clear to me) OMD
