Blowback Sucks, right?
This video explores the enduring popularity of simple blowback firearms, particularly Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs), by comparing classic designs like the Uzi and Sterling to modern iterations such as the B&T APC9 and Daniel Defense PCC. The discussion highlights the trade-offs between the simplicity and affordability of blowback systems and the recoil reduction offered by more complex delayed-blowback or roller-delayed systems. It emphasizes how modern designs incorporate features like hydraulic buffers to improve shootability and controllability.
