Type 96 Light Machine Gun → Type 96 light machine gun – As with Type 99 light machine gun, per WP:CAPS. Common nouns should not be capitalised. SSDGFCTCT9 (talk) 20:31, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Poor dimensional tolerances" and jamming

Why would poor dimensional tolerances lead to jamming? Usually "poor tolerances" in machine work results in parts fitting LOOSER than they are supposed to. In engines and in guns, this usually results in a more reliable but less efficient and/or accurate machine. This is one of the reasons the Kalashinikov rifle is so legendarily reliable (besides basic design), and why hand-fitted "full race" M1911 pistols tend to be finicky about what type of ammo they will feed reliably but can drive a tack at 50yds, while other cheaper types with slides that "rattle" will feed just about anything and give only sufficient accuracy. Supposedly one of the main reasons that large American radial engines of WWII were so reliable and could run even when suffering from major battle damage is that were machined to far looser tolerances than most German or British engines (although I have to wonder how much of this is myth, and if there were looser tolerances it wasn't actually because radials are air cooled and need more tolerance for metal expansion, etc).

Both reliable and unreliable
