The only reliably unreliable weapon I have ever been issued by the Army (that was not quickly repairable) was a worn out M-60 Machine Gun.
Now that is one I am not sad to see gone.
Otherwise, you keep it clean, you keep it lubed, you use good ammo and mags, and understand the capabilities and limitations and it should work properly.
You violate these rules, especially in a combat zone at your own peril.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
