Real Men™ fire only long recoil, anyway.

Man, if that coil gun that Ian was testing just moved the trigger mechanism to the side of the gun it could have fit another coil on the underside.

It's really battery + coil-charging that's the hangup. More coils does equal more power, but also more time between shots and fewer shots per charge.

You're definitely on the right path of thinking. The scss doesn't have any more adjustment than a normal buffer system, however. You can change the weights in a regular carbine buffer to the same extent as the scss. Adjustable gas blocks generally work, but in rare cases they get seized up.

There's also the problem of users not knowing how to adjust for gas properly. Or swapping from one load to the other might not be totally reliable. When you have the milspec port size and full power loads, it generally just works without having to fiddle with long Allen keys to adjust the tiny set screw.

I'm also in the process of doing some testing for a video to show extra variabilities of ejection patterns that chart mentions beyond simple gas system variables and buffer configuration. The real fun begins when you start testing the common advice and try to find ways or variables it doesn't account for.

An adjustable gas block isn't going to hurt the gun, the worst it will do is make the gun unreliable. But the onus for figuring out how to configure the settings for best operation is on the end user, not the manufacturer, and taking away the ability to make changes from the end user is a terrible slippery slope that gets us iPhones.

I agree with Russel, here. On barrels with gas ports drilled more liberally, while also using super hot reloads I've gone from stuck cases and sheared rims to functioning decently with just changing the ammunition and no change to the rifle. In some cases of overgassing, it is hard to tell exactly what the problem is like with stuck cases and failures to extract. The other thing is that these are generally tiny set screws that generally require a long allen wrench when under a rail and they have some dozens of positions where the screw makes multiple revolutions. It's hard to tell where it should be, the adjustment screw erodes over time, and sometimes even get seized. You would have to count some dozen of nebulously defined clicks or so from fully closed if you ever needed to confirm an adjustment. I generally use the adjustable blocks on my non-larping rifles where there is less of a degree of seriousness/no martial concerns. I also use it on my precision AR-10 where I already treat it more like a precision instrument and the adjustable block fits in with that. For instance the superlative arms adjustable block (a very good one) has 30 settings and requires a 3/32nd allen key.

On rifles with a martial focus (like the WWSD should be) it is generally more reliable and better to have a set (or sets) of ammunition load(s) that are loaded hot and the gas port/buffer tuned for that. Those with adjustable blocks from the factory by design like the SCAR and HK416 are made with shorter rails and much larger gas blocks that have a better arrangement for switching the very few gas settings (usually regular and suppressed) than some tiny set screw with a long allen key required. It's also the reason why someone as a customer of an AR that will be taken seriously should ask the manufacturer (they all list every spec of a barrel besides gas port size funny enough) before buying a barrel or rifle.
 
I have a Wilson Combat adjustable gas block on one of my gamer guns. It’s the only one of these things that I’ve actually liked because it has 5 click adjustment settings.

I deliberately built that gun with a 12.5” handguard rather than 15” so I can use a coin or knife blade to change setting and not have to have a screw driver on hand to do it.

I've always found most DI adjustable gas systems prone to seizing without regular maintenance. Small allen screws and pins are asking for trouble. Especially a pain if under a handguard.

I still haven't got a chance to look at one of the RifleSpeed blocks.

I'm a PWS shill but I think they did it a really neat way with their long stroke piston. Stays really clean with all the extra gas being progressively vented. Just 3 settings. Basically needs threaded shoulder on the barrel and a special gas key though....

The Wilson combat does look like a good system. Nice beefy screw so you can break up deposits without the tiny allen wrenches (which always strip).

Karl and Russel are definitely aware of people in the discord who associate with fullspectrum, one guy got banned today from maybe here for looking for clone parts. Dude posted about wanting to buy stuff for a clone rifle for a video and got the hive going.

Begun, the clone wars have.

Flandre went to a Milsim West event, took his surplus humvee with Zs spray painted on and a DPR flag in the back.
Lots of blank fire footage, but most of the runtime is an actual Christian service. SPOILER: Priest gets shot by NATO troops?

My associate wanted some used cheaper parts for a Paul Shanks clone (the gun that blew up earlier in the thread) build, seeing as how there would probably be some people in the IRTV discord who might have those parts. Russel noticed, Karl was alerted, and my Associate was banned by Karl. Paul Shanks was summoned and immediate disowned any amount of credit for being an origin of any sort for WWSD.

I really would like to see Mr. Shank's rifle looked at in detail, because A, I know for a fact that a lot of people just disregarded plastic lowers as a whole when the rifle actually exploded because of a double-charged cartridge (a bad time for most AR15s), and B, I think he probably was thinking along the same lines as the WWSD rifle, regardless of if the WWSD rifle was directly based on Mr. Shank's rifle or not.
 
Also, Phagan complaining about people being Kiwi Adjacent makes Phagan a nigger. Typical lefty bullshit, cross-site banning.

Fuck Karl, fuck Phagan, and fuck the WWSD rifle.
