gun jammed

Hello,
there were so much possibilities the guns would get stuck in reality, one being a slack ammunition belt due to foul weather, not properly filled by mechanics, or bullets being stuck in the firing chamber, so no chance to get it working again in-flight. With two guns mounted there is at least one left, but .. :wave:
Greetings,

A lot of jam problems of the era came from stripping a rimmed cartridge from a cloth belt, didn't it? I would think that weather would play hell on those things, swelling and then retracting. As far as I know, they didn't use disintegrating belts yet.
