  1. Malfunctions happened on fairly old guns with worn-out springs, are not indicative of the performance of the weapon in pristine conditions.

  2. It had more to do with costs. Several semiautos and semiauto conversions had been tested and deemed to be reliable already before WWI. Malfunctions happened on fairly old guns with worn-out springs, are not indicative of the performance of the weapon at the time.

  3. This is a modern copy made in .45, not an original Luger. Same for the BM59, it's not an original Beretta made.

  4. A minority of them is caused by the design. IE, as said, the BM59 is a copy, not even a Beretta original. The jamming is caused by the fact that the Garand barrels they used had several gas port sizes, from .95" to .120", but in a BM59 configuration a gas port below .110" is not enough to cycle the rifle. In the Breda PG, and several others antiques, the problem likely is a worn out magazine spring, that doesn't lift the next round fast enough. Those magazines were not made to be used for decades.

On the commercial (not a Beretta original) BM59 is caused by the fact that the Garand barrels they used had several gas port sizes, from .95" to .120", but in a BM59 configuration a gas port below .110" is not enough to cycle the rifle.

  9.  @taunteratwill1787  It's not his collection. Those are weapons he had the occasion to fire without knowing how they had been mantained for all those years.

  14. Worn-out springs (recoil and/or magazine), dirty gas port, out-of-spec ammos (civilian modern ammos are often differently loaded than the military ones those rifles were supposed to use).
