why does this gun constantly get jammed

I don't know but many people have had that problem and we returned ours to Amazon because of it.

We have the same problem. Also, the bipod keeps falling off. I would stick to the smaller Nerf products that have the smaller darts.

You have to be rough when you cock it. Otherwise, it gets jammed most of the time. The problem is that when you cock it, if you do it lightly, the gun thinks that it needs another bullet to fire. Thusly, smooshing one bullet into another. Also, if the gun isn't roughly cocked, then you'll notice that the cocking lever will not return to it's natural state (towards the front of the gun) until the bullet is removed or sometimes you can roughly recock it and it'll unjam (doing that risks smooshing the next bullet).

Hi JC. I did not have the same jamming experience as you. But there are several reasons why your gun get jammed:- the dart are damages or bent- you might priming too hard back and forth-maybe the dart is not loaded correctly from the backHope those pointers helped.

I don't know why it gets jammed, but I agree with you 100%. This gun constantly jams. It is a waste of money.

Not sure why it gets jammed, but it rips up the bullets and we have gone through a lot. When it works it shoots far but for me i would rather they dont use it because im tired of buying bullets

We arent' sure. It is either that the bullets bend too easily and get caught on something or there is something internally blocking the bullet.

If it is like that, it is a defect.It should an automatic pistol, so the slide only stop when all the BBs are shot out. It is also a single shot pistol, but kind of only for the first shot. After the first shot, the cock will always in down position for the next shot, no need manual cocking.After all, this is my favorite air metal BB pistol, thoush the accuracy is not adjustible in this model......

Sounds like you need to have a technician check it out. I have had this printer for a little over 2 years of daily office use and have never had a problem with jams unless I try to stuff too much paper in the bottom tray.

no it's not sent request for return within 1hr of opening unit jammed constantly, it does shoot farther than any other gun I've seen but with the jamming problem it wasn't worth it my 11yr old didn't like it for that reason so we sent it back. we did keep the pistol version which works very well and does shoot a good distance.

Yes unfortunately it jams quite frequently especially if it is held upside down. I ran into your problem after about 4 brad nails. If there isn't a visible nail jammed then there is a problem with the steel "hammer" that goes up and down to shoot each nail off of the "stack" you load. If you pull the cover back as if you were loading new nails you'll see all the way to the front where each nail is supposed to go down into the point and eventually the wood a "stainless steel" flat piece. This "stainless or silver" steel piece was what stopped the nail gun shooting in my case...it failed with the CPO reconditioned model and I had to take it to a Bostitch authorized repair shop to get it replaced. In the meanwhile I purchased a new one and never had the problem. Its frustrating but its nothing they said I could fix and Bostitch probably overlooked when they were "reconditioning" the nail gun. Good luck!

Depends on how much gas you put in the mag. If a lot then the slide may not kick back at last bb. May have to take a few more shots to expel more gas then slide releases. If less gas slide will release at last bb. Gun has great feel and shoots well. No jams. On ours the safety didn't really move or work. Not sure if defect or design. Didn't want to return. Good Luck.

It does jam sometimes, there's a slot under the handle on the top of the gun that you can open up to pull out the stuck bullet

Yes, but it jams after the first 5 or so, it's a waste of your money. I sent mine back. I couldn't get 1 mag loaded without a half dozen jams. I quit and hand loaded the rest in half the time it took to mess with this thing. Check out my review on it. You'll see what the issues are.

Yes, it jams. If it jams you open the slide on the top and remove the jammed dart and close the slide and the gun will continue firing.

The gun itself does not jam. We had an issue with the clip. The spring came loose and would not push the pellets up into the chamber. Once we fixed that it fired everytime. I would recommend this gun.

I had to upgrade to the next closest model when my old printer died, but this one is very similar. If you lift the lid, there should be a black handle on the large plastic piece that hold down the paper near the back. lift that, and release the paper that is jammed. Then make sure to clearly press the black piece in place again, and it should work fine. Your manual should clear up any questions as well. Good luck!!

It takes some getting used to but the Dewalt D51420K is resupplied from the bottom of the slide mechanism. When you put the staples in you turn the gun up, lay the staples in the groove, and push the keeper home. Thus when the keeper mechanism is pulled back, the entire area for firing staples is exposed and no tools are required to clear a jam if one occurs. I have shot a lot of staples with my D51420 and its never jammed. What does happen once in a while is: I pulled the trigger before the tip is completely depressed, and this can cause what seems like a jam but is really a safety mechanism in play and the trigger will not pull. When this happens I clear it by disconnecting the air supply and immediately reconnecting it without having to check for a staple jam. It is a nice simple staple gun.

I would suggest looking online or just buy a new gun since they are so cheap? If you think it may be broke, first try taking it out. My sister thought she broke the needle and it was actually just jammed.

Sounds like a jam in the firing mechanism or possibly the staples aren't feeding into place properly. If it's an old heavily used gun it may be worn to the point where it should be replaced.

I have used them in my Springfield XD .45 hundreds of times without any jamming issues. Cleaning your firearm regularly or after every use should avoid any problems for the most part. Most people who have issues probably were a result of a not properly maintaining their firearm.

This is a defect it should lock back after the last shot It could be a mag fees problem
