It's the same mechanic that has existed on every semi-auto weapon in every game forever. If you try to pull the trigger before the weapon can fire again nothing happens and you need to pull the trigger again. The Jams are those trigger pulls that are to early to fire the weapon.

If you're pulling the trigger every 0.17 seconds you'll need to pull the trigger twice per shot so each shot will take 0.34 seconds and you'll be firing at a rate of ~3 per second.

It becomes less of a problem the higher the Firerate is because you'll eventually be unable to click faster then the fire rate. On Akbolto with Lethal Torrent you'd need to be clicking at a rate of >16 per second to get a jam.

PS. You're probably also used to the firerate on Latron Prime.
