A tendency to jam if not kept clean.
The Makarov ammunition has a case (the brass shell containing the explosive powder behind the bullet) which is one millimeter shorter than the 9mm Luger which is also commonly called 9mm Parabellum (meaning "for war"). There are two major concerns with firing a foreign cartridge through a gun that was not built for the round: one is the size/shape and the other the power of the load. In this case, the shape is different in that there is a millimeter missing from the Makarov, which could potentially cause errors in feeding the ammunition through a semi-automatic. The main problem is that the muzzle energy and the velocity of the 9x19 Parabellum are higher than the Makarov, and the detonation of the Parabellum develops much higher chamber pressures than the Makarov. Because of this, the Makarov ammunition is used in semiautomatics with a different design than the 9mm Parabellum. If you tried to fire it through a locked-breech pistol (which many 9mm Parabellum pistols use) and ones with stronger springs, it is highly likely that the gun will jam because the Makarov cannot generate enough energy to open the slide and properly eject the shell. In general, if you want to use a round in your weapon that is not standard, it MUST be a weaker round or you may seriously injure yourself. Second, if there is any kind of discrepancy in the sizes or shapes of your cartridge (such as a bottlenecked cartridge or a shorter cartridge) then it's usually not worth trying it.
the Germans found the P38 was cheaper to make and did not jam as readily as the luger..............................only difference is the gun design.
Try different ammo, then different magazines.
no it will jam your gun and it will break. amazon has bullets for a dollar. don't take a risk to try it
I would highly recommend that you do not make your own airsoft pellets. They might jam and or brake your gun.
gun jam , run out of bullets , get shot
No. Because a Glock 26 is chambered in 9mm, as a Glock 23 is chambered in .40 s&w. For example you can use a Glock 22 (full size) in Glock 23 (compact) and in Glock 27 (sub-compact) But you cannot use Glock 27 mags in Glock 23 or Glock 22.
Stove piping is a term used to refer to Failure to eject the casing, causing a jam with the empty casing sticking out of the breech like a stove pipe.
It doesn't actually jam. When the last round is spent, the breech lock automatically stops the breech from closing again. This is used for reloading. When you have inserted a new magazine, you can release the breech lock, allowing it to close. The hammer will be cocked and a new round will be chambered. This is faster, and allows you to reload the gun with one hand. This system applies to most modern day guns.
you can put ten in a clip and keep one in the chamber. . . obviously leaving you with 11. I've been able to squeeze 11 in my clip before. however, i wouldn't recommend it. doing that is just begging for a jam
