When empty cardtriges get trapped in the injection port of a pistol this is known as?

When empty cartridges get trapped in the injection port of a pistol, it is commonly referred to as a "stovepipe" malfunction. This occurs when a spent casing fails to fully eject and becomes lodged in the ejection port, preventing the firearm from cycling properly. It can often be resolved by clearing the obstruction, but it may require manual intervention. Proper maintenance and handling can help minimize such occurrences.
