Seriously though, I don't remember it being that bad...
As long as you kept it clean and dry, lightly oiled, cleaned out the gas vent every 100 rounds or so, and kept the magazines clean and well oiled it was fairly reliable...
Under the above conditions you could often fire 2 or even 3 full mags without a stoppage......(as long as you didn't fire to rapidly and overheat it of course..)
