I have some understanding of different types of rifle actions (although any diagrams showing them would always be appreciated to help me understand better), I know the difference between the direct gas system of an AR, and the gas system of a M-14, and the difference of those to the CETME/HK roller delayed blowback design. (There is a little confusion to me between the short and long actions (AK vs FAL), and what advantage each presents).
So what are the advantages (and disadvantages) of the different actions. For exaple, is the AK more reliable because of its action, or its loose tolerances?
Kalashnikov
SKS
M-14/M1 Garand
FAL
HK/CETME roller delayed blowback
AR direct gas impingment
Thanks.
