Luke,

Yes.  In these cases, so much air flow is used that the gap is
intermittently prevented from firing.  This may or may not
occur based on the gap design, air flow, and other factors.

You may see references to "overquenching" in the archives.
Overquenching (in reality) simply means that the gap fires
intermittently due to excessive air blast, or excessive gap
spacing in a rotary, etc.
