equation really... that's a myth.
The biggest problem with modern magazine fed semi auto rifles is generally the magazines. The NSR uses the same Ar15 magazines.

That's no myth. I've used it before and it get's jammed quite often especially where the bolt and bolt carrier gets stuck in the chamber round or with a round itself. To avoid this I have to use plenty of CLP to lubricate it like crazy prior to use. After that I spent several hours to clean out ALL of the carbon accumulated from it after disassembling my weapon. Yes it is a good precision weapon when it works but there is way too much maintenance required on it IMO.

I've owned a Colt 6920 (the original M4gery) for 6 years and it has never jammed on me. I clean the bolt/carrier and chamber and run a boresnake every thousand or so rounds. The M-16 has a history of jams during its early days in Vietnam, but these issues were both part design and part user error, and have since been resolved. If you are getting routine FTF/FTEs then your particular rifle is out of spec and you should have your manufacturer look at it, or it is some cheap brand and you got what you paid for.

The linked blog post said the gun works fine, like every other gun in the world, when it's cleaned in accordance with the manual. Problems start to arise when things diverge from the manual which things tend to do when a combat unit has been on patrol continuously for days.

In the words of the author of the blog; "A service rifle should still work fine even when you don’t have the time to clean it. Like when people are shooting at you. If it gets too muddy you should be able to open the action, piss into it to rinse the mud chunks out of it, and be back in the fight."
