I thing "needing tools to repair" = catastrophic failure is too broad a definition.

I think the same thing. I would define it as:
"When there's a failure that actually requires repair work to remedy--generally some kind of actual breakage. "
Like a frame cracking or a revolver ejector rod breaking off as in the examples I gave.

An individual part can catastrophically fail, after all any complete breakage would be that, but to say the entire gun had a catastrophic failure when only a specific part or two did, is going too far.

I think if there's a catastrophic failure in the gun then that's a catastrophic failure.
