hey everyone.. im just making this thread for myself, and people looking to debate the various aspects of a self-loading rifle... different types of actions (blowback, recoil, gas), different materials, construction methods, calibers, etc....
i would like to know what you would think of as the perfect semi automatic, if in your own image you were able to design one?..
---
first off, i would like to know other peoples opinions and feelings about gas operated (long and short gas piston systems), recoil operation (long, like a browning auto 5, and short like a johnson 41, or handgun) as well as blowback, standard blowback, and the various delay mechanisms such as roller, and lever delayed... and for gas and recoil operated systems, what type of locking mechanism do you like most (rotating bolt, tilting bolt, etc)
what do you think would be the best operation in your opinions and why?
---
i would also like to know what type of feeding mechanism you think is best.. box magazine, internal or external... helical, rotary, belt, as well as what magazines of already existing rifles you like most?.. ar-15 mags, AK mags, etc..
---
im also curious what you guys think about one piece furniture such as those used on the garand, M1A, mini-14, and SKS, vs the seperation of forearm, grip, and stock such as those on the AR-15, AK, FAL, ect
---
i would also like to know how you feel about the different calibers available... if you prefer lighter, more plentiful ammunition, such as 5.56 or 7.62x39, or if you believe the added range and stopping power of a .308 to get more done with fewer rounds is the better way to go?
---
and lastly, if anyone else could think of any other features or ideas, feel free to discusss them
