I've seen intellegent people who's brain didn't work at times. A failure to focus on the task at hand does not imply stupidity. A persistent failure to do so is strongly suggestive of it.
"before firing in dusty conditions because of closer tolerances."
Closer tolerances than what? The fitting of the firing pin is tight enough that no sand and dust would build up in the spacing to cause binding. Once cocked and loaded there are no other mechanisms that could get stuck resulting in a failure to fire. If a light hammer blow(dust) resulted in a misfire, it could be immediately cleared. Unless the owner allowed the inside of the reciever to fill with a significant amout of sand and/or dust, the shooter could clear it with one, or a few manual cycles.
"I looks like she is just humbly saying that she shouldn't have been labeled a hero out of respect for those who are the heros."
That could be, but this is the NY Daily News. Are they the liberal media? They said she, "angrily accused the pentagon of using her for propaganda."
Glad to see you admit you shouldn't have said what you said then.
Closer tolerances than what?
Than other guns! What do you think? lol

Blah, blah, blah. All I know is that those with as much experience as you with these guns said they can indeed jam before firing and they said it was because of closer tolerances than say, an AK47. Discussions about pins mean nothing to me, we didn't go that deep.

Yep. The New York Post and the Wall Street Journal are the only two good papers in New York (and the Wall Street Journal does have liberal reporters, but their editorial page isn't bad).
They said she, "angrily accused the pentagon of using her for propaganda."
They lied. She said she was "hurt". But that could mean anything, she could be hurt because of all the hate directed toward her by people like you who are using this stuff to bash her.
