Really Embarrassing to Confess This One, But Anyway..............
SemperFiGuy:
I Bought this dinky little Jiminez mousegun: JA-22LR 6+1 Fixed barrel Made mostly of carburetor (pot) metal
At 13th Street Jewelry & Loan, local Omaha pawn shop which does FFL transfers for $10Buck$. I was there to pick up coupla other guns bought on Gunbroker.com.
=======================
OK>>Prolonged pause while everybody jeers, hoots, and throws stuff.
..........
Yes...I know the fuss from the audience is not all over with now, but let's move on with whatever story we can make of it.
=======================
And before buying, I did actually know that Those Guns are pronounced, "Jammm-I-Nes".
It's kind of like going to the Dollar Store and seeing a tool and asking, "Three tools for a dollar...How can it go wrong." And of course it does.
But I hadda try it out. It was $110 Buck$ plus tax, out the door. (I've wasted more than that on PowerBall tickets over the past coupla years, with nothin' to show for it. And the gun has TWO magazines.) And--although a straight blowback device--it actually has an extractor.
Took it to the range. It lived up to its name and produced sequential FTFeed, FTFire, FTEject results, one after the other. Sometimes all at once. There were occasional 2-3-4 round bursts, but not many. Nicely accurate, with that little short fixed barrel. Sure did hit where aiming. That is, when it actually shot off a round. But mostly it wuz a very dependable Jammer.
For ammo I tried 4-5 kinds of .22LR. coupla hunnert rounds, total:
>Win 36gr 1280fps
>Win 40gr Wildcat
>Win 40gr M-22
>Federal Lightning (No gr.wt. indicated/really old stuff)
Surprisingly, the Federal ammo produced the few 2-3-4 round sequences that occurred.
Then I moved up to CCI Mini-Mag 36gr 1260 fps and got off most of a mag, coupla times.
Now, jthhapkido of this Forum has always suggested practice as a means to achieving solid performance. He would be proud of all the practice I got clearing jams. Especially because it was so bloomin' cold at the range. Not to mention that my soft, sissy professor hands got all torn up and bloody by the plastic flashing on the trigger and other sharp edges on that pot-metal gun. (And no........It wasn't slide cuts.)
Brought the gun home, did some buffing and tweaking of the mating parts, slide, magazines, extractor, etc. Gonna go try it out again.
Next Move:
Well, I bought 800 rounds of CCI Stinger 32gr 1640fps ammo and will run what I can through the gun to see if I can run it to total, abject destruction.
Will report back in due time.
FWIW,

With all the trials, tribulations, and bleeding fingers, whatnot, I actually shot close to 200 rounds through it. It blew the red dot out of the middle of an 8-inch black reactive target at maybe...15-16 feet I wuz shooting, whatever.
Before shooting I did disassemble the handgun for cleaning, lubing, and a look at the innards. (Then spent about 25-30 minutes crawling around on the floor looking for the parts that flew all over the place when I field stripped the gun.) Cleaned out the factory shavings from metalworking operations.
HINT:
When you field strip a brannew gun, put the gun and any needed tools inside a HUGE transparent plastic bag. Only then put in your hands and go to work.
I'll get some pics up of the gun. Targets are gone until the Stingers get shot.
Coulda FrogLubed it first, but wanted to shoot it and see where the wear takes place. Wuzn't where I thought it would be.
Guns are Fun.
Even dinky wunz, like the Jammer.
