All this talk about autos jamming. Are you guys serious?
I carried an old Remington (revelation) A5 clone for several years. And also a Weatherby Centurian gas gun for many years. Neither of them ever jammed on me.
But I was shooting pheasant, rabbit, partridge and quail rather than ducks. Perhaps that is the difference.
I've seen them some of the best jam except maybe an old A5. Benelli M1, Win SX2, Browning Gold, Beretta A400. Use them in $hitty enough conditions and they will all choke. You can make an inertia gun jam 100% of the time by not supporting it. Most failures I've seen have been due to too much or the wrong kind of oil, dirty trigger groups from powder or debris and gummed up gas systems from lack of cleaning. Waterfowling is hard on guns as its usually wet, cold, freezing and around mud that can get into an action.
