Well, the jamming problem apparently hasn't been eliminated. As I recall, what led to the soldiers from the 507th Maintenance getting captured was the fact that several of their M-16s jammed during the ambush. Granted, these weren't frontline troops and there was probably quite a bit of sand floating around.

yeah, you still gotta clean 'em to fire 'em.

I read the report about jamming, but it was in the same report as "Jessica kept firing till she ran out of ammunition". In fact later reports indicate that she was knocked out from a car accident through the entire battle.

Please, do not take this as a knock on her. She was there, I was not, all praise to all our soldiers! Just the early reports were a bit enthusiastic, like you would expect if they came from an Iraqi who wanted to suck up to the new conquerors.
