Hmmm. Must have been different guns than the ones I used, which were very reliable and I don't recall having any jams. I have read that the magazines of the double column single feed type were no good, but that seems more armchair gun design than real problems, as they were used with most SMGs of the era (the TSMG was an exception).
Most of my shooting was done with my Uncle's M3A1's, but I owned an M3 for a while and never had any problems with it, though the cocking handle reportedly gave problems and I could easily see how that could be.
I also owned an M1928 TSMG and shot it a fair amount, also with no problems or jams, with 20, 30 and 50 round mags. I never owned a 100 round drum (darn it) but had a chance to fire an M1921 with one and talk about heavy!! 100 rounds of .45 ACP seems to weigh more on the gun than it does in two boxes.
