whats is the method of actuating the bolt? its just not a locked bolt its still gas operated.
It is a blowback semi automatic, not a gas operated semi auto or a recoil operated semi auto or an open bolt blowback semi auto.
A gas operated semi auto uses the gas from combustion (usually tapped from towards the muzzle end of the barrel) via a piston and operating rod to work the bolt.
A blowback action could be argued to be Gas operated, equally it could also be argued it is Recoil operated.
meh im not arguing semantics over small arms design.
Well you did start to. Is it because you consider that your assertion is correct, but that I am intransigent that you want to stop? Or did you actually check and realize your mistake?
i would consider a auto 5 a recoil actuated gun, where as a 22lr straight blow back more so a gas/recoil operated i guess... im not sure it really matters
the way i look at the operation, one uses recoil to run the action the other gas pressure and recoil i guess. once again semantics.
"REALISING" mistakes is one of the most humble things someone can do, it doesnt alway matter.
