Possible efficency fix for LX?
I suspect that much of the effecincy issues with the LX has to do with the excessive cycle force that gets wasted on the large return springs.
Has AGD tried using smaller stg 1 pistons while keeping stg 2 the same?
A smaller stg 1 pisiton would allow us to use the smallest spring for 300 fps velocities and even smaller springs for lower velocites. This would allow the gun to be more efficient in terms of energy wasted on the bolt cycle.
Theoretically it would also produce an increase in the stg 2 cycle velocity possibly increasing max ROF.
It would also solve the bumper shredding issue. :D
