Comparison was made on three sets of data from two simulation models, and Chacaltaya experiments, which are at present the whole of the data available to discuss the Feynman scaling law in the forward region at high energy region. Comparison is made without introducing any additional assumptions except the experimental data, and hence the conclusion shows exactly what the data indicate. It is concluded that all of the data, expressed by the different physical quantities, are consistent with one another and show the violation of the law. The degree of the violation, estimated in the present analysis, is stronger than the estimation, but weaker than that by Wdowszyk and Wolfendale. The scale-breaking feature in pion multiple production and the consequent decreasing inelasticity cause detectable effects to the behavior of high energy cosmic rays in the atmosphere. It is concluded that the primary cosmic rays are not necessary to be heavy-dominant, because the violation of the law provides a rapid energy-dissipating process sufficiently. Hence the hypothesis of the heavy-dominant primary cosmic rays should be revised in light of the violation of the Feynman scaling law.
