J.P. offers tactical rifles and parts - including recoil eliminators mounted on the remote-operated AR-10 weapon systems many of you have seen being tested on up-armored humvees.
The LMOS is not recommended for tactical situations. However, where it is important to quickly place several rounds on target with great accuracy, the LMOS is tops. Like the old IPSC dot sights that are now commonplace on the battlefield, the LMOS technology comes from being tested against the clock in competition. While many would dismiss all competition as "useless" and without real-world applicability, consider that the dot sight was a product of the competitive shooting/IPSC world.
For more info on the low mass operating system and the tactical weapons offered by J P, take a look at:

Preach it brother Douglas, I said the same thing in another thread but someone said I didn't know what I was talking about. With my 3 gun rifle with my scope at 1.5x I can put all rounds of a full 30 round mag into the A & C zone of an IPSC target at 50yds as fast as I can pull the trigger. Lighter Moving Mass = More control, of course the Bennie Cooley brake helps. I also don't use an adjustable gas system nor a different buffer spring BTW.
