gas operated... poop!

 

one piece lower poly... poop!

 

let them eat it up and bring down the price of the saigas!

 

I didn't watch the review since I've already handled and shot them, and it's a good weapon. But...

 

1) Yeah it's gas-operated. Like the Saiga. What would you have preferred?

2) Lots of very popular guns are made with structural plastic, so it shouldn't be a dealbreaker for most people.

dont want to get into a pissing match here. when i was infantry and now private, my friends and i call the standard m16 a gas driven weapon and an ak a piston driven weapon. when you are using greasy nasty 12ga shotgun shells to drive your bolt you are most likely better off using a long stroke piston driven system.

 

structural plastic is great if you are advanced enough to use it like glock and FN. even then you run into problems while operating them. and rarely do you see the combination of anodized aluminum on top of a polymer lower. of course it's light weight. it's a fucking matel toy running magnum rounds. does it run three inch by the way?

 

im a bit skeptical. it's probably as sally ass as the hair dressing aa12 they tried to get us all excited about at harmony church.

 

no disrespect to you. i may not elaborate on my opinions as much as others. i'll be glad to explain my reasoning. hopefully, someone NOT associated with the modifications and sales/importation of this weapons system will take one for the team and do a real world torture test. my saiga is used for work and not play. i fucking hate the ar platform and hope that all the bandits go off on this new platform so the saiga becomes more affordable on the base level. the damn thing was 8 bills in the shop the other day....

 

have a good one.

 

fix bayonets! bite the bullet!!!! NICK

Although you insinuate that I'm giving this thing a good review because of my professional associations, I'm going to remain civil to you, Nick. We wouldn't promote the thing if it wasn't good. The reputation of Tromix is absolutely top notch in this business, and both Tony and myself call them like we see them, period.

 

You obviously don't have any experience in weapons design, so I'm not going to debate the gas system thing; it's a good design and that's that.

 

The lower has no effect whatsoever on the chamber pressure- take a look at some of the really popular semiauto shotgun designs sometime.

 

I get it that you think $700 is too much to pay; that's fine, you won't be a customer but this constant hating on this platform is just silly.

 

ps:It does run 3".

Nick, maybe I misjudged your understanding of what this platform is.

 

It has nothing at all to do mechanically with tha Stoner design. It's just a very standard gas-op shotgun on top, the bottom is just a trigger housing/magwell/buttstock in the shape of an AR.
