Anyone else see this (Lvl 10 press release)? I guess we really do have elves now! Level 10 makes your 'mag "low pressure"!

See it for yourselves:

I think it means that the 'mag just got it's own elves. ;)

The botl does not exert as much force (hardly any) on the ball making the pressure on the ball from teh bolt face at a lower pressure. "Low pressure" is just associated with LP cahmbers and such, but this applies in another way.

it said nothing about lowering the gas pressure...... the bolt speed is slower for the first half of the cycle right?!?!?!?!?!?! so the bolt is putting "low pressure" on balls, fingers, tongues and other objects half-way into the breech................ why would AGD ad Elves now?

Guys, I understand how level 10 works. I just think it is "funny" how for years Tom has been saying that LP is a myth, and then uses it to describe level 10. I think the previous term "Low Impact" was more accurate. Must be part of the new marketing strategy.
