sigfreundSomeone whose opinion I respect, perhaps Evan Marshall, said a
jam was a malfunction that couldn't be cleared by the operator, or at least not immediately.

sns3guppyThere are a number of different malfunctions. Not all are jams.
The English language is notorious for having multiple meanings for the same word.

There are a number of different jams, too, not all of which are malfunctions.
My wife likes raspberry.
I prefer strawberry.

I much prefer preserves.

Preserves was my favorite until I discovered Costco's "spread." All the preserves that I find in the store are made with high fructose corn syrup; the Costco strawberry spread is made with actual sugar.

There are many advantages to living in Maine.
Unfortunately, Costco is not one of them.

egregoreYears back, some gun scribbler (I think it was Duane Thomas) wrote something I liked, a distinction between stoppages and jams. A stoppage is something you can clear with just your hands and get back in action. A jam disables the gun until it can be taken away and worked on with tools. Most auto pistol malfunctions are the former, some revolver malfunctions (example, case slipped under the extractor star) are the latter.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 July 23, 2019, 01:05 PM
12131Malfunction, jam, whatever. We all now what it is. It's like the folks going around looking to correct others who say "clip" instead of magazine. It gets old. But, I'll give OP credit for it, because the jam/malfunction deal has not reached the tiresome level of the clip/magazine thing.

LS1 GTOIf your toe gets stuck in the barrel, would that be toe jam?
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own...
