I'm waiting for dual gas ports to come into fashion. If done correctly, I can see it working, though honestly I'm not sure it would ever give up enough benefit to be worthwhile.

Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

I like staying in the center of the fairway and not pushing it too much. The interesting thing is how badly "they" screwed up the carbine gas system shorties with oversized ports. O-rings and H3 buffers and all that nonsense to fix stupidity.
Off the top of my head, I'd guess that the 10.3 Colts have one of the shortest port to muzzle lengths. But when you don't let a moron spec the port too big, they run just fine.

18” rifle, 14” mid, 10.3” carbine.
Yes some examples of shorter will run, but not with a reliable margin in my opinion.

Bill G already has three phased gas ports in one of his newer short barreled rifles. I haven't seen the gas tube setup but supposedly it makes a short barrel (9" if I recall correctly) more reliable.
I learned quite a lot while watching this livestream. The phased array gas port topic comes up at around 1:01:35
Some of the key points for those who won't watch.
- .MIL (SOF I assume) is using 6ARC
- G recently won a contract for a precision rifle
- 3 phase gas port for short barrel reliability
- He is a talker and very proud of his products
- Sulfer can be added to barrel steel to increase machineability
- The El Jefe rifle was produced for an LE contract and looks kind of cool at that price point
This video is a lot more than a new product introduction and is worth the time investment to watch.
