1) The M1911 is also Semi-Automatic see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1911_pistol, and secondly the Colt also fires the very very powerful .45 ACP round which means you can put down a enemy wayyyy more faster then the tiny 9mm round.

2) You got the BAR and the M16 mixed up. SPW says that the M16 is the gun that JAMS a lot, the BAR doesn't.
