Prevention: Clean your magazine in much the same way you would clean ammo (brush/wipe, no lubricant).
Magazines can fail to seat properly due to dirt and grime build-up, which interferes with proper round feeding. Do not apply lubricant, as it may interfere with operation, or release toxic fumes when exposed to heat.ĭirty magazine. Brush or wipe each round until all grime is removed. Prevention: Clean your ammo regularly, and especially when it is exposed to the elements. Especially when exposed to extreme heat (a byproduct of firing), the casing can "stick" in the chamber and resist extraction it can also fail to seat properly at all, interrupting proper operation. Ammo can pick up dust and grime if left exposed to the elements for a long period of time. Prevention: Regularly clean the gun receiver and feeding mechanism with a solvent, lubricate it, and minimize exposure to the elements when possible.ĭirty ammo. Casings may resist extraction or may not seat properly when feeding due to the build-up in the chamber the firing pin may also fail to strike properly if a round cannot seat well or if there is gunk in the way.
Dirt, grime, sand, carbon, and other residue can build up, interfering with feeding and extraction. The next step is to take a look at some of the causes of gun malfunction, and also to observe what typically isn't a cause.Ĭauses of gun malfunctions, and their respective preventative measures:ĭirty firearm. A round can fail to feed into the chamber, which typically prevents the firearm from operating at all.įor a magazine-fed system, this covers 99.9% of the kind of gun malfunctions you're likely to encounter. This will interrupt a recoil-fed or gas-fed cycle.įailure-to-Feed.

A round may fire but not travel the full length of the barrel and exit, instead becoming lodged it may also not fire at all if the primer malfunctions. When a round doesn't perform as intended and fails to properly fire. Similar to Failure-to-Feed, this occurs when a casing is extracted but fails to clear the mechanism before a full cycle completes, "catching" it in mid-ejection. Typically, this leads to a double-feed when new round attempts to chamber, causing the visible jam.įailure-to-Eject. This occurs when a casing isn't extracted successfully during a semi-automatic cycle. I will not reference belt-fed systems, since they have their own issues which don't apply to Tarkov anyway.įailure-to-Extract. I will also include bolt action, though those typically do not malfunction like mag-fed weapons do. Note: I will stick mainly to magazine-fed weapon systems, as most modern weapons are mag-fed. They also almost never happen or are functionally preventable if you address those factors, as I'll touch on.
Typically, firearm jams with modern firearms are rare, but they happen predictably based off of some particular factors.
Tarkov shoots for realism - no pun intended - so I thought to apply some real-world insight to the topic of gun malfunctions.
