Midlength is the future. Assimilate or dieSeriously, though, midlengths have a softer recoil impulse, so if you're going to put a 12" rail on it anyway, why not put a midlength gas system under it?

Didn't someone here have a theory that the "violent" cycle of an M4 could possible keep a very gunked up gun running longer than a mid or rifle gas system? I found it interesting but never read anymore about it.

Hi, we're America. We build Monster Trucks for fun. We devoloped a Top Fuel dragster, 0-330MPH in under 5 seconds... cus we were bored. Piss us off, and see what we build... -Christopher Titus on War and Terrorism
Kinda like the faster you drive a truck into a zombie horde, the further you'll make it?
There's a difference between "reliable" and "durable"
Reliable means it will function until it wears, breaks or gets out of adjustment
Durable means it functions longer before it wears or breaks, even if it isn't reliable

It was probably me. It didn't go over very well. I still think it potentially has merit though.
this article is part of what made me posit that theory last time.

I was thinking BKB Rob, but it could have been you that brought it up. To a layman like me it does make sense. I have tested this in a different arena with my 1911. The gun will basically stop working at a certain round count with regular ammo, but +P will enable me to squeeze some extra mileage out of it.
Interested in reading that link now. I think it has merit too.

Maybe so, but only if you're married to an FSB and one of those rail types. Either one of those is available in a non - fsb model. I would choose a low pro pinned GB and a standard 10" or 11" rail instead. Either way, the first priority for my rifles is barrel choice and then I build around it. The rail selection is secondary, not the other way around. As a result, I still can't see any advantage that carbine has over midlength.
