It does. Especially when people have just a little info or knowledge and run with it without truly understanding what they're talking about. The first thing we started hearing about the A5 shortly after release was that it's a bandaid.
Most don't realize the benefit of a rifle length system and for some reason can't comprehend that what we're looking at is basically a rifle system that allows a collapsible stock. What is so hard about that?

That's what I was getting at earlier as well. Not only do people have a hard time grasping the idea of a rifle length system that allows a collapsible stock, they also can't get the fact that weights between carbine and rifle buffers are not equal. They seem to think that because a rifle system aids in reliability, then an H3 should be equal on a carbine RE.
For those that have a hard time with this, look at 1911's. Though not the same system, it's easy to see that the shorter the action spring, the more things need to be in perfect harmony to run correctly and the more often they need replaced and the higher weight spring that's needed.

Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~ Paul Howe
