This doesn't count squib loads or dollar bills rolled up into a SAA cylinder. Squibs are not jams - they are disasters but quite different from some mechanical jam.
Seriously? Bullet jumps the crimp & ties up the cyl. Primer backs out & ties up the cyl. Grit gets between forcing cone & cyl, ties up cyl. During a reload a spent case falls under the ejector. All pretty much puts you out of a fight. Then there are things that break or bend.
AlSo anything that gets between cyl & lock during rotation is jambed up revo. Though that one might be cleared by just opening the cyl, maybe.
