[QUOTE="bert2368, post: 2330599, member: 93675"] "Gas guns can't handle the same pressures as bolt guns do" No. Gas gun systems are designed to operate at a particular pressure- and even more importantly, with a particular PRESSURE CURVE. Correct pressure at gas tube = gun runs without short cycling or battering itself cycling excessively hard. A modern gas gun made by a reputable maker can **** well handle correctly made rounds at SAAMI spec. You can overload hand loads run in a bolt gun a bit more before they rap you in the teeth with the evidence that you're way over pressure for the round is what you meant to say. Since you're the operating system and don't have to notice until bolt lift becomes real hard or impossible. Or the blown out primers jam the bolt or magazine. Or you get a lot of gas (and maybe some metal?!) going in an unpleasant direction... [/QUOTE]
