I raised a support ticket

Yeah DriveThru RPG sux IMO.  But very big community support for Paperback RPG releases through there.

their tech support was super unhelpful. They suggested that the problem was just too many users trying to download at once but I'm sure it's the site design. I say this because I was able to download no problem on their old site (it gives you an option to download from it if it fails on the new site)

So I'm on the facebook group, and apparently there is already some errata to the book:

[PG 142]
Unreliable. Firearms with the unreliable property jam on a critical miss. A jammed gun cannot fire until a bonus action is used to clear the jam.

In playtesting, we had guns jamming on a 1, but it was deemed unrealistic for most weapons. So we added the unreliable trait, and we did have a couple of firearms with that trait. However, we ended up cutting those weapons from the core book as being a little too niche.

I decided to leave the property in the book as I plan on using it in future supplements. (Escape from New York has an unreliable improvised firearm for instance.) So it is part of the rules, but it's a bit niche at this point. There are a few things in there that I put in as tools that can be used in the future for development. The Critical Miss is a good example. It only plays a minor role in the rules as written but serves as a tool for GMs and designers.

There is a mistake in the unreliable trait that says it takes a bonus action to clear when in fact, it should be an Action. One of the backers caught this earlier in the week.

So bonus should be full in the paragraph from the book.
