Why didn't you go belted ammo? Never mind. I don't want you to get self
concious. But the answer would be yes. Someone would have to put in a new
magazine.

Well. If this jam is a result of all ones, I would say that it would
require B/R, due to the nature of the rule of ones. Actually, I would say
that only having the gun jam was rather nice of the GM.
