Diagram of long-stroke gas operation system Long stroke gas piston, from an AK-74. With a long-stroke system, the piston is mechanically fixed to the bolt group and moves through the entire operating cycle. This system is used in weapons such as the Bren light machine gun, AK-47, Tavor, FN Minimi, FN MAG, FN FNC, and M1 Garand.
Blowback is a system of operation for self-loading firearms that obtains energy from the motion of the cartridge case as it is pushed to the rear by expanding gas created by the ignition of the propellant charge. [1] Several blowback systems exist within this broad principle of operation, each distinguished by the methods used to control bolt ...
As for where to classify the Browning systems, we would and should explain the systems a bit better. Essentially, gas systems are classified as short stroke, long stroke, and gas trap based on where they utilize gas, either: high pressure, low pressure, or at the muzzle. The first Browning gas operated rifle should rightfully be a gas trap system.
The other used on gas operated firearms, usually a small hole on the barrel/gas block that is used to push back a gas piston to unlock the bolt. Gas check : A device used in some types of firearms ammunition when non- jacketed bullets are used in high pressure cartridges , to prevent the buildup of lead in the barrel and aid in accuracy.
The gas operation is a system of operation mechanism used to provide energy to semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms. In gas-operation, a portion of high pressure gas from the cartridge being fired is tapped through a hole in the barrel and diverted to operate the action.
