[QUOTE="Code4, post: 459254, member: 26988"] The purpose of controlled round feed is to prevent double feeding of rounds into the chamber and is highly desireable in combat and when hunting dangerous game. Once the first round 'pops' out of the magazine onto the bolt face it is trapped there (usually by the extractor in Mauser systems) with no where to go and is then moved forward into the chamber. A second round can not be moved by the bolt into the chamber until the first either fired and ejected or ejected unfired. The empty case is also trapped on the bolt face until ejected. In the heat of battle the controlled round feed bolt system prevents a soldier who fails to withdraw the bolt fully (this is called 'short stroking' the bolt) from double chambering the next round when pushed forward again causing the rifle to jam and cease operation.
