Wasn't sure where to put this, but I come here most so...
I shoot a 9mm pistol. Depending on the load my brass will fly varying distances, some only a couple of feet away.
I just bought a pistol caliber carbine. When I shoot the same bullets/loads in it the brass flies out into never-never land. WAY out! This got me to thinking.
The pcc is a blowback operated system. If I understand what that means, and I may not, wouldn't the pistol (a ppq striker fired) be a blowback operation also? And if that's the case and the same shells are used, why does one drop at your feet and the other fling them far away. There has to be more than loads involved. Strength of springs is what comes to my mind. IF that is the main reason, could/would changing the buffer spring in the pcc to a heavier one cause the cases to be less forcefully be ejected?
Not that I'm really wanting to, but I'm just curious. Thanks
