How Does it Work: Gas-Delayed Blowback
This video explains the gas-delayed blowback operating system, highlighting its use in handguns like the Steyr GB, Heritage Stealth C-1000, and H&K P7. It details two main mechanisms: the barrel acting as a gas piston and a separate gas piston. The system offers advantages such as reduced recoil and improved accuracy due to a lighter slide and fixed barrel, but can suffer from heat transfer issues during sustained fire.
