The next round you chamber might be defective. There might be a crucial part on the verge of failing or may have already failed without you noticing. Any mechanical device is subject to failure, there is no 100%.
On the other hand, knowing how to maintain your weapon certainly helps, as does having the most reliable weapon and ammo you can afford. This would definitely put the odds in your favor.
There is nothing more disconcerting than pulling the trigger and not hearing a bang.
