Shotgun "malfunctions" and ways to address them

Thanks guys for your opinions. G.W. -- that's what I was thinking, it seems that a mechanical device, especially which experiences a stress of sending lots of lead down range, might be prone to hic-ups. I've already had one of these -- on a windy day, bunch of sand flew into the action of my Mossy -- so the slam-buttstock-on-the-ground was how I was able to move my pump back. :)
 
First, allow me to say, "Sand in the action is not a shotgun malfunction." When operating a pump, don't slam the gun around. Make complete strokes, but stop at the end of the stroke. Slow up just before you bend or break something.

Maybe some of the "The-Sandbox-Vets" can speak to the "Sand-in-the- Action" problem. I've been told that the M-4 is a lot better that the AR-15/M-16 that I had in Viet Nam. Sand storms were about the only problem I didn't have with that POS.:mad:
