Direct impingement Short-stroke gas piston. In May 2008, Smith & Wesson introduced their first AR-15 style rifle in a new caliber, the model M&P15R, a standard AR platform rifle chambered for the Russian 5.45×39mm cartridge. [11] This was due to the availability cheap surplus Communist Bloc 5.45mm ammunition and AK-series weapons. [11]
Firearms with a direct impingement design can, in principle, be constructed lighter than piston-operated designs. Because high-pressure gas acts directly upon the bolt and carrier in a direct impingement system, it does not need a separate gas cylinder, piston, and operating rod assembly of a conventional piston-operated system, only requiring a gas tube to channel gas from the barrel back ...

The bolt within the bolt carrier is fitted with piston rings to contain the gas. Once the bolt carrier ...
The 7mm-08 with 139-140 grain loads does well against some 150-grain .308 Win. loads, providing good energy levels. One example is the Remington 7mm-08 140 PSP (1490 fpe at 300 yards) compared with the Remington 308 150 grain PSP (1344 fpe at 300 yards). [14] The 7mm-08 invites a ballistic comparison with the veteran, highly esteemed 7×57mm ...
The vent-sealing tube accurately fits into a chamber formed at the end of the vent, and is held in place by the gun lock or some similar means. The force of the explosion expands the tube against the walls of its chamber, while the internal structure of the tube renders it gas-tight, preventing any escape of gas through the vent. [3]
