I really like this gun, it must be a lot of fun to shoot!
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

The grip is far too tiny for such a fat rifle
We were sent this exact same gun (in FDE) for our agency to T&E as a replacement for our 11.5" M4s. We had them for a month. At the end all the SWAT guys and Firearms Instructors voted. Unanimous to keep the M4s.
It was a fun to shoot gun. Full auto is very controllable. But it is big, bulky, and the stock is "Meh".
Piston means the heat stays away from the bolt. But the heat is still there. it just dumps the heat into the aluminum for end. Even with gloves, that front area by the gas block gets HOT, and the barrel heats up the bottom more than almost any other rifle I have fired.
It was fun. It looked cool. It was new and shinny. And we all decided the M4 was a better fit for us.
