How Reliable is a 14.5" with Carbine Gas System?

Just stop

I’m having another “PTMcCain is that you?” moment.

American and U.S. Allies have been killing bad guys worldwide for nearly a half century with 14.5" carbines. I think you will be fine.

More like a quarter of a century.....

Actually, I've read mostly about it on here, along with the Crane tests that show the carbine to have a dismal round count between stoppages compared to midlength. But then again, that was with M855A1.

I have yet to actually see the Crane test report, only the power point brief, which does not have much to the required information, like date of the test, M4s or M4 PIPs, were the weapons new, used, or rebuilt, ammunition lot data, firing schedule, etc.

I say this because these kinds of thing have a lot to do with reading of the results. For example, was the 12,600 rounds fired through one weapon or was 1,260 round fired through each of 10 weapons?

Also, their reliability of 581.5 MRBF is about a 1/10 of ATEC reports, which is 3,671. There is obviously some apples-to-oranges comparisons going on here, or the data would be closer together.

You're right.

They've been killing bad guys with even less reliable 10.5", 11.5", and 10.3" carbines for half a century.

Ok. I’ll look again. I didn’t find anything “ban worthy “ the first time. Must’ve missed it.
