A cook off is a military weapons term referring to a round that has been chambered but misfired in a hot barrel and has become jammed. This was not uncommon for the M60 machine gun and several of its predecessors.

While the round is chambered, the range is the same whether it is fired by being struck with a firing pin or whether the heat of the barrel detonates the powder in the round. The range, how far the round will go, is determined by the grain of the ball, the amount of powder in the cartridge, the trajectory of the barrel, and the aerodynamic qualities of the ball.

The larger the bullet and powder will determine the velocity and distance.
