They are ammo sensitive, as far as cycling goes. If you use low power ammo they do not like to cycle. Magnum Research has a list of ammo that works on their website, give that a look over. I plan to just try a bunch of ammo out and see what she likes best.

Keep in mind that you should use jacketed bullets, as the cast ones can clog the gas ports. Plus I am sure the gun does not like some bullet shapes (although the feed ramp is pretty straight, and the mag positions the bullets almost in line).

I really did not read about any jamming issues, but the manual does specify a good cleaning regime, and the recoil springs do need to be replaced every 5k rounds or so.
