    The only thing any M4 owner needs to do, to make their DI M4 run reliably longer, is KEEP IT LUBED! (which the Army trials did not do during the firing, as their test was to remain fair, and keep things equal)
    OF course the piston guns run longer! They don't blow carbon gases back into the chamber like the DI guns do!

    The SCAR was designed with this purpose in mind. It was designed to be MORE RELIABLE than the M4.
    Heretic.

    Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
    [a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]
    Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
    Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.

    I guess sort of, well, regular shocked.

    I try to live in a media vacuum. My only rifle info comes from this site and TOS. Because of that, I have come to believe that my Colts are the nastiest sons o' bitches out there.

    Now this?!
