  • curprev 23:2723:27, 19 July 2020Honnis talk contribs 5,423 bytes +72 Gas traveling directly from the cartridge to the bolt would not travel through the barrel or the gas block or the gas tube or the gaskey. This is a very indirect route that the gas takes from the cartridge to the bolt. The usage of the word "direct" in the term "direct impingement" is a good example of a common misnomer. A less common but more accurate term to describe this system is "gas impingement". undo Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

  • curprev 00:3600:36, 28 April 2020Mark3395 talk contribs 6,338 bytes +9 Note that the drawing of the ArmaLite M16/AR-15 is titled Direct Impingement. This is incorrect and does not clearly show how the system works... with gas at the rear of the gas cylinder within the carrier expanding to drive the carrier to the rear thus camming the bolt unlocked and pulled to the rear by the rearward moving carrier. undo
  • curprev 00:3100:31, 28 April 2020Mark3395 talk contribs 6,329 bytes +978 The common error of calling the "Internal Piston" (ArmaLite term) or "Direct Gas" (US Army Infantry School term) a "Direct Impingement" system confuses the matter. The Direct Impingement system creates a noticeable blast before the face of the shooter. This is not so with the Stoner system. The author of these changes conducted the 2000 round testing noted in the updated text. undo Tag: extraneous markup
