Dud
text:
A dud is in general something that fails to function in the way it is intended to. In a military context the word is often used to refer to an ammunition round or explosive that fails to fire or detonate as expected. Poorly designed devices, shoddy worksmanship at the munitions factory, over-complicated fuzes, and small devices, have higher chances of being duds. During the Continuation War 1941-1944, Finns estimated up to 20% to 30% of all Soviet shells would be duds.
Duds are still dangerous,
