Aufweitung des Streukreises

English translation: expansion of the group

Tech/Engineering - Military / Defense / Military weapons (rifles)
German term or phrase: Aufweitung des Streukreises
This involves a complaint in a legal document about a rifle because of "die Aufweitung des Streukreises bei schussinduzierter Erwärmung"
so basically you can't shoot straight with the rifle once it gets hot.
The result of my research so far is "expansion of the dispersion of shots when hot after sustained firing".

Is this okay or could anyone possibly improve?

Thanks for the answer. This is a possibility but I ended up using "increased dispersion" instead.
