Jammed TM M14 = blown nozzle
 

Was at the Durham game and 10 rounds into the game and my rifle jams.. Well
yes firing your AEG might clear it but from this experience I will use an unjamming rod before I pull that trigger again.

Easy fix but still a pain in the ass if you dont have a spare on hand at the game.

... My M14's jammed countless times... And I have been seeing a reduction in performance recently... Looks like I'm gonna have to check that out.

Oh it was fucked hard... theres a nasty crack still on the nozzle..

Regular maintainance helps prevent this, need s drop or two of oil down the loading nozzle while held upside down and dry fire it a few times. BBs jam when the hop up rubber becomes somewhat sticky from lack of oil.

Yeah doing that tomorrow.

Literally it should be done every 1000-2000 rounds, or if the gun sat unused for several months. I hate arguing with people that claim "Oh, your gun jammed because you put a tightbore in it!" (there being zero accounts of tightbores jamming on ASC, or elsewhere for that matter) and having my explanation of tightbores only jam with bad ammo or shitty maintainance fall on deaf ears. This stems from a guy whose M16A2 I upgraded that included a tightbore, the guy didn't play (or use the gun) for at least a year, and within the first mag out of the gun, a BB gets stuck in the hop up rubber. Wasn't the tightbore, it was lack of maintainance.
