    Oh okay. I thought there was something wrong with it. So if I got the Spikes tube, buffer and spring for roughly $25 then all is good.

    Ummm... there's no arguing it. It works WORSE than a real buffer. It's not huge, and most people wouldn't notice it. But most guys here don't settle for compromise parts.

    Okay, so it doesn't work as well as a normal buffer. What doesn't it do as good as a normal buffer so I know whether or not to replace it.

    The BCG bounces a little more of the barrel extension whenst going back into battery. Now don't get me wrong... it's not a magnificent difference.... but you can see the difference.

    The thing with the Spikes buffer is this:

    1. It's cheaper to make since Tungston powder is much less than the tungstion weights... and.

    2. It caters to the ARFtard crowd who is affraid of the sounds that buffer weights make in the gun. Nevermind the fact that actually firing a gun is VERY much louder... but that's ARF logic for you.

    These videos are different buffer weights with std carbine spring with one example of rifle buffer in action.

    As far as the different weights...you can judge for yourself.

    Video 1

    This is a hydraulic (infamous failure) vs std buffer on full auto

    Video 2

    I wish they used a heavier spring to compare as well...anyone have a 1000fps camera?

    I wish... I'd like to do a comparison on the A5 buffer with and without the little hipster spring installed.

    How many fps would be needed? The new GpPro does 30fps.
    Would u really need close to 1000?
    I don't know jack about video tech.
