While the rifles were expected to fire an average 3,592 rounds between failures, the M4A1 was never held to that standard, Ostrowski said. The M4A1 was able to fire an average of 1,691 rounds without failure in a series of tests in 2009 and 2010.
OK, why exactly 3,592?

Why not 3,571 or 3,593?

And what was the actual failure rate?
