  1. I have a Barrett Rec 7 Gen 2 piston rifle. It’s cool but the mechanical action feels a little different from a DI rifle. I like that it stays cleaner and bolt stays cool. And hey…….it’s a Barrett 😃 can’t be all bad.

  2. I have yet to fire a DI ar-15 in my life (and I've tried a lot of times) to fire more than ten rounds consecutively without jamming.
    I've heard every excuse under the sun. Oh the ammo's bad! Oh it's dirty! Oh I need to replace a spring! Oh it's got the wrong buffer weight in it! Oh this and oh that!

    Yet you hand me an M14 with the bone stock gas piston in it, and I can feed it whatever random junk ammo I have and it always goes bang… every single time.

  3. that thin tube floating so always makes me wonder how its never damaged. also, why did they not use the puck system when making the pistol calibre AKs and ARs?

  4. I still 100 percent think the best meltdown video was the vepr so hard to kill that thing I own 10 AR-15s and only one ak I had a norinco mak 90 before and after seeing how much better the vepr was it’s like comparing a tank to a Volkswagen Beetle the vepr being the tank I think it’s probably the most over built ak47 in the USA so glad I got mine one month before the ban even though it’s really just a shortened rpk I consider it the best

  5. My humble opinion
    If you have a 5.56MM or 6.8SPC Rifle. A DI will do just fine.
    The only piston rifle I have fired apart from the AK is a SCAR 17 (.308) (Note I rented one at the range I do not own one).
    But this is just me.

  6. Find you someone who gives you the type of support Eric gives when Chad is first explaining DI vs piston operations. The facial expressions too! hahaha.

  7. Bottom line for me:
    1) 1000 rounds dirty DI AR 15=more than ONE HOUR of cleaning and scraping.
    2) 1000 rounds or MORE piston AR15=15 minutes clean time. Max. Only TWO minutes clean time for upper and lower. Wipe and re oil.

    Superlative Arms patented off gassing piston system with suppressor=QUIETER and less gas in face.
    Conclusion: SA piston kit. No brainer.

  8. I like both these guys, seems like Eric is letting chad talk more, he used to try to hog the attention I felt like. I like chad a lot, wouldn’t mind him having his own channel, or just doing more vids here on his own, or at least leading them.
