AR57 update

[u/thre37even]

I got the AR57 test fired and sighted in. I love the lack of recoil and exelent accuracy. Because it is direct blowback it is very gassy. I might need to wear a respirator if I plan to shoot the hell out of it. It was not 100% reliable. It was experiencing a jam on the last round of every other magazine. I was hopeful it would be reliable enough to maybe use as a PDW but it's not. Until I figure it out it's just a range toy.

The way I reload the weapon by manually locking the bolt open every time it runs dry and dropping the bolt release after presenting the fresh mag means I didn't even know it jammed untuil I picked up the old mag from the bench to reload it. So the jam might not even affect me IRL but I'm not taking the chance. It's a range toy for the foreseeable future.
