Depends. Long stroke piston has the disadvantage of wearing the gas piston and tube down faster with the longer length of movement, which makes for a shorter lifespan and a dirtier gun, but it's simpler.
Then again, delayed blowback is even simpler, and by this logic old H&Ks should be the cheapest rifles out there.

the taliban are using leftover aks from the 80s to this day just fine
Let me level with you, was a great platform in the 50's and 60's, but the AK-12 has shown its past it's prime. Even if you can kludge together a modern-ish AK with a bunch of bolt on rails and dust covers, it's just not conducive to modernization. Enjoy it for what it is, stop trying to make it what it's not.
what about the internal piston, à la the AR-15?
good one dude
No

Implying theyre accurate, they shoot and function sure but you and most nobody knows just how shit the groupings on those things must be
Mod 2 is better than all of those
Of course you like longer strokes you fricking homosexual
me like simple blowback

The AK12 is good, just remove the useless shit top brass demanded for it like burst and make a quality handguard for it
Agreed. Internal piston, Eugene Stoner praise be upon him, >>>long stroke piston.
Any rifle is dogshit until FNH touch it. The scar 17 is the perfect rifle.
>caveat; does not apply to handguns
hey wait a moment, the new video of the cartel guys cutting off dudes faces and wearing them. Isnt this that guy in the video?
For infantry rifles? Short stroke piston.
For machine guns? Long stroke.
>DI
Trash.
Infantry rifles should be DI or short stroke
Machine guns should be recoil operated
>recoil
The 1920's called, they want you back.
recoil > gas operated
>DI
full moron failed design
>short stroke
why do you want a more complicated piston system
>long stroke
GOAT
Your mom longly strokes my piston
Long stroke better lmfao fricking dipshit, enjoy that huge heavy long hunk of shit reciprocating and the recoil it causes moron.
>all the morons in this thread shitting on DI when DI has put more piston gays in shallow graves
