Gardner or Gatling?

[Conquistador]

Okay, these both have gamer reputations of jamming at the worst possible moment, which I am sure is a matter of survivors remembering when Murphy's law was most evident.

Is there any non-anecdotal based reason to thing one jammed more often than the other?

I have some legacy 25 mm versions of both and was wondering if they should have differing RoF, effectiveness, and/or failure rates in a game where detail could be included that would be semi-realistic.

Gracias,

Glenn

If the Gardner gun acted like the Beneit  MG,used by Pershing,in Mexico,then the straight clip was a nightmare,any dust and  not getting the clip in exactly straight under combat conditions ,and it was no fire,the Gardner was probably not as finicky,but to keep a game simple ,we would roll 1xd-6,and on a 6,jammed for one turn.,for Gatling or Gardner gun.
