I was reading an article that stated NFA machine guns, due to their age, encounter various issues. The main issues are stoppages between rounds and maintenance issues.
Empirically and anecdotally, I think the above paragraph may be supportable because I saw, at a police academy, a genuine and new MP5 factory gun being run with 20 magazines, and it had zero stoppages.
I used to always get a stoppage. I usually get a FTF (usually a double feed) a few times per range session.
For the first time in my NFA ownership, I took 2500 rounds to the range, this weekend, and had zero FTF, FTE, double feeds, etc. All 2500 rounds ran flawlessly. Prior sessions I would always have some sort of stoppage. Maybe it is because I am becoming better at reloading. I don't know the reason, but I'm curious as to whether I will have a stoppage next time I go. I was shooting my M16s and MP5s. No stoppages.
Do you guys encounter stoppages on your machine guns? Every gun jams, I understand, but it appears that machine guns jam more frequently.
