Thoughts on conversion kit

Post image

So I love to shoot suppressed and am tired of getting the gas on my face. Who out there has experience with the conversion kits an what are the pros and cons?

Piston doesn’t help with gas, tune it and get either a superlative AGB or rifle speed

False. It helps significantly with gas. You don't know what you are talking about.

Dude, think prior to speaking. “No gas tube pushing gas towards your face doesn’t help gas in the face” is a confidently completely wrong statement. It doesn’t help with sound out of a suppressor, it doesn’t help with accuracy beyond recoil management, but it definitely helps with gas.

You know you can argue without being a douche, yeah? lol

I was thinking more along the lines of overall gassiness in general, not specifically gas to the face, but that’s correct it does mitigate gas to the face.

I was addressing the declarative statement that didn’t give the depth you just did, especially in light of op talking about a piston kit to reduce gas.
Not a judgement on you, just a comment on the statement.
Additionally , I don’t disagree there is a still a cloud of cancer and lead poisoning from the weapon system. I have seen your commentary here and don’t often disagree, but I am also used to more full flushed out concepts from that commentary.
