How Does it Work: Stoner's AR System
This video delves into the intricate workings of Eugene Stoner's AR system, commonly referred to as 'gas impingement.' It clarifies that the mechanism actually utilizes a cleverly integrated gas piston within the bolt carrier. The explanation details how gas is drawn from the barrel and travels to the rear of the bolt carrier, where it acts as a piston. The video also touches upon the benefits of this design, such as improved harmonics and reduced weight, and debunks the myth that the system vents directly into the magazine or chamber, highlighting its proven reliability. The description also promotes the creator's first book and Patreon page.
