Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) To be honest, the only time the gun is likely to jam is if you pull the bolt back with an unfired cartridge in the breech and it doesn't leave the breech (this is because you will have pulled the bolt back slowly) and the next cartridge pops into the breech, thus not allowing the bolt to close.
I've done it a couple of times with my Hatsan Escort and it's resolved by pulling the bolt back and tugging at the jammed cartridge - nothing too hard/dangerous.
My gun has has a few thousand through it and it's never jammed once whist feeding a new cartridge from the magazine. The only thing that has happened a few times is the hammer half cocking, which basically means the gun doesn't fire - I think this happens when i try to quietly close the bolt by hand, instead of allowing the noisy spring to do the job.
Just be careful not to get your finger caught in the bolt when it shuts, or you'll easily break it! (Your finger that is!)
Any further questions, please PM me Edited November 17, 2008 by harfordwmj

Posted November 17, 2008 If the gun jams :
Safty Catch.
leave the gun 10 seconds pointed in a safe direction : ie the floor.
C0ck the working parts back ( most semi`s have a button to hold the moving parts to the rear) and hold them there.
Look inside. remove the jamed cartridge, If no cartridge turn the gun over and unload any cartridges from the magazine.
The gun is now safe to be inspected or striped ( but still allways treat a gun as loaded at al times)
Now you must decided weather to load the gun again or pack up to strip the gun at home.
If carrying on load your gun again as per normal !

Posted November 17, 2008 Mine jammed on saturday for the second time (shock horror!),but it was my own fault.I never cleaned the two gas ports last time i stripped gun down.So after removing barrel (takes seconds) and a quick poke with a tiny twig-all was well and it cycled beautifully afterwards!
Keep the ports clear and it should be alright.

Posted November 17, 2008 Well unless what you're shooting at is likely to be shooting back just take your time and un-jam it slowly, keeping the barrel pointed away from anyone, safety on and mind your fingers.

I don't believe the make will decide on its reliability. It's more to do with how the person looks after the gun - If you don't clean it at all, then it's bound to jam.

If you want a gun that needs a couple of thousand rounds through it before it becomes reliable then get a benelli
Alternatively try this option

Someone needed to say it
Jams come in many forms some are caused by the gun & others by the person using it, many auto's get a problem when the person loading the magazine fails to push the cartridge far enough into the magazine & past the shell stop, you can usually feel & hear a "click" as the shell passes the stop.
When this happens the shell jumps back jams under the closed bolt & will certainly jam early remington 1100 & 870. Benelli's will still fire & cycle when this happens however, In fact some guys load one below the bolt on purpose in PSG guns to gain an extra round in the gun called the "Ghost load" the gun does need a minor alteration to allow you to do this.
If I get a missfire I simply rack it out as quick as I can, its safer on the ground than in the gun, other jams are usually failure's to feed the shell into the chamber & they sit on the carrier (lifter) plate, simply pushing up on the carrier from below will usually complete the cycle or a jiggle with the cocking lever.
Stovepipe jams are when the case has failed to eject fully, hold the bolt back & pull the empty case free.
there are others but the more serious will require the gun to be stripped to free the problem.
Keep um clean & oil um well.

Posted November 17, 2008 throw the shoty at the incoming .whilst diving to one side reaching for your concelled 9mili bereta ,upon emptying the mag reach for the clickers hiden nearby to activate the half a dozen claymores . reload the 9mm .if over run call in an airstrike on the hoof stating the bearing/lyline and the direction your runnning on and hope the yanks aren`t on lsd
safety catch ,cock ,hook and ,look would be the sensible answer

Posted November 21, 2008 When in the field and your auto fails to load a round into the chamber from the magazine you can carry on shooting for the day by just loading a cartridge into the breach and none into the magazine . you will only have one shot ,but its surprising how fast you can drop another cartridge into the open breach and push the release button . Harnser . What causes a semiThe gun is out of battery with the slide partially open. The magazine may be stuck and will not drop. Failure to eject. The fired case is pulled from the chamber, but not fully ejected, causing the slide to lock partially open on the empty case.
What can cause a shotgun to jam?Poor technique, faulty rounds, and mechanical problems lead to a number of reasons as to why the gun got jammed. You can reduce the odds of having your weapon jam by routinely cleaning your firearm.
What does it mean if your gun jam?Mechanical malfunctions of a firearm (commonly called jams) include failures to feed, extract, or eject a cartridge; failure to fully cycle after firing; and failure of a recoil- or gas-operated firearm to lock back when empty (largely a procedural hazard, as "slide lock" is a visual cue that the firearm is empty).
Why do reloads jam?What does Jamming and Jumping a bullet mean? Jamming or Jumping a bullet, when it comes to reloading techniques, has to do with the seating depth of the bullet when loading and how far the bullet will be from the rifling of your barrel when chambered.
