What does it do that a CZ Bren or IWI Carmel doesn't?

What does it do that a CZ Bren or IWI Carmel doesn't?

Apparently it uses more AR15 parts than its looks suggest. The coolest thing to me is the AR15 gas system is still in play , but in this design they are delivering the gas to a reciever mounted on the bolt carrier . The force of the gas pushes the entire carrier and buffer assembly just 12mm to cycle the AR15 bolt through its extraction/pick up cycle. The exhaust gasses are fired forward away from the shooter and completely out of the receiver.

Still folds / goes bang like the others but less proprietary parts than others its looking like. Perhaps guys who know for sure about the Bren / IWI can chime in ....

Love the Slovenian dude when he says “AR poops where it eats.”

I’d love one. Great looking gun.

Ah yes they kept the worst feature of an AR

It's not dumping into the action as per the rep. So to me it's a non issue functionally that opens this platform to commonly available AR15 barrels.

Anyone have a clif’s notes version? I can’t bring myself to click on anything featuring “Wish” Hasselhof.

A lot of ingenuity in this offering, especially the parts about not reinventing new wheels. I know I'm going to be watching that clip over and over for ideas; every new idea has its next iteration already built in, waiting from the get-go. Whatever can be built can be improved upon, every new step has its next steps built in.

Time to get that 'other angle' creativity into gear; why wait..., why wait at all?

I love this thing.

1. Hybrid gas system with AR-15 gas tube, but a separate piston and gas relief cylinder above the BCG to keep fouling away from the bolt and chamber, vents forward. Benefit is no reciprocating op-rod up front.

2. Uses AR-15 barrels

3. Lower receiver is AR-15 without the RET tower and threads for the tube, folds down like an Hk G3/33/MP5 for field-stripping. All parts on the lower are AR-15 compatible from TD pin-forward.

4. Dual height top rail allows for optimum placement of optics without risers, while the forward low height rail is ideal for WPL placement.

5. Uses an ACR/Masada folding stock.

6. Non-reciprocating charge handle.

Interestingly, the webpage shows a Glock mag fed, Blow Back 9MM also.

Neat enough. It’ll be interesting to see if this proves its self to be a reliable system.
