In the last 15 years or so, the train has completely jumped the tracks with the gas systems being extended too far down the barrel.
So you end up trying to cycle the BCG with a super sharp quick blast of gas running through an excessively large gas port.
And why do we do that? Because the 3-gun game boys figured out the recoil impulse was less. But what about running the gun's system/design in the sweet spot, rather than out on the fringe of the operating window?
I don't know about you, but I would prefer to not run my bullet over a huge one-sided pot hole in the barrel when it could be much smaller with the gas system backed up a bit.
And another thing. Giving up a pile of case capacity so you can dangle the bullet way out past the neck of the case so it looks cool, is just a bad idea. Not to mention the leverage that is imparted on that dangly bullet as it tries to transition from the magazine to the feed ramp to the chamber. Talk about some bullet run-out.
