For a start, you keep spelling "defence" wrong.

No, it isn't.
For example, slamfires in the M-4 are a mechanical error built into the weapon. They are not the fault of the soldier, nothing the soldier does can prevent it. That would be an AD.
If the bloke has the safety off and the finger pulling the trigger when he chambers the M-4, however, that would be an ND.

Very rare thing in most assault rifles, providing you don't have the trigger depressed when chambering a round. Except on the AR15/M16 family of rifles, where it is considered almost normal to, if a round is chambered and then ejected without being fired, find light indentations in the primer. It's usually not too much of an issue on military ammo (which uses relatively "hard" primers), but civvies using civvie ammo have been known to have problems with certain brands of ammo, or certain primers in the case of reloaders
All in all, a massive design flaw that can cause ADs, through no fault of the soldier who is loading the weapon

If you mean 'someone in the design department screwed up', then yes. Slamfires were rare enough with the M-16 that the problem never really came to note. There was something of a run of them on the M-4 in the last couple of year, however, enough to have an advisory sent aroud. Don't know if the Army are going to bother fixing it.
