It's not that simple! I'm still trying to wrap my head around this observation.

In fact, on my suppressed 11.5" Sionics RGP and BRT 16" OPTIMUM intermediate gas barrel with the above setup the A5H4 permitted a smaller gas port setting on the gas block than the A5H0 or any of the other buffer weights (I tried all of them on all of my uppers, suppressed and unsuppressed). Yes, you read that right.

The A5H4 permitted me to run less gas than the A5H0.

I appreciate the few posts above showing lots of experimentation, but there is more going on here. Period.
