So I encountered this issue twice yesterday in the Crucible while running with my trusty Vanquisher VIII. I line up the sights on an enemy and open fire.
My shots fly true and begin blasting away his shield before carving into his health. This guy never saw me coming and I have him significantly injured before he is able to turn and return any fire in my direction - this gunfight is mine, and the match is about to go a little more in our favor.
However, before I can finish him off, my rifle stops firing. Just stops.
With eleven rounds left in the magazine, and my finger still holding the trigger down, it just decides not to work. The half-dead enemy races to cover and escapes.
I am frustrated by this, but don't think much of it until it happens again in a later match. Then, a buddy of mine tells me of a similar experience with his own Vanquisher that he recently acquired.
So now I am reporting it to you. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
I can't imagine why the Vanquisher would have a failure to fire. Not only is it one of the best weapons to use in the Crucible, it is one of the finest firearms produced by the New Monarchy.
I always take care to keep it oiled and in service-ready condition. I even stop by Banshee in the tower whenever I visit to have him inspect it regularly.
I can only assume that there is some bug that is interfering with its normal operation. I hope this issue can be resolved soon. The crucible is not a challenge to be taken lightly, and I will need all of my equipment operating at peak performance.

Its not just the Vanquisher. Several auto rifles and pulse rifles (which have the auto fire perk) have this jamming issue. I guess it makes it realistic, real life weapons jam too LoL
