Shell Ejection Issues: If the spent shell casing fails to eject properly, it can cause a jam. This may happen because of a dirty chamber or malfunctioning extractor.
Improper Loading: If the shotgun shells are not seated correctly in the magazine or chamber, it can cause feeding issues, leading to a jam. For pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, this can prevent the next shell from being chambered properly.
Worn or Dirty Parts: Residue from firing or dirt can accumulate in the shotgun’s action, leading to misfeeds or failures to fire. Regular cleaning is crucial to prevent jams.
Faulty Ammunition: Using low-quality or damaged shells can result in a misfire, squib load (where the shell doesn't fire completely), or a failure to feed properly.
Weak or Malfunctioning Action Spring: In semi-automatic shotguns, a worn-out recoil or action spring may not provide enough force to cycle the next round, causing a jam.
Magazine Issues: A damaged or dirty magazine can affect the feeding of shells, resulting in a jam.
