Comparison between the gas impingement
and piston-driven AR rifles ...
- Piston-driven firearms operate cleaner.
- Piston-driven firearms operate cooler.
- Piston-driven firearms are less accurate, generally, than gas impingement systems.
- Piston-driven firearms cost more.
- Suppressors work better with the gas impingement firearms, especially those with an adjustable gas block that allows control of the amount of gas directed back through the gas tube.
- Both systems are reliable.
- Parts for gas infringement system rifles are easier to find and less expensive.

The gas impingement system diverts the
gas from the barrel through a tube and back into the upper receiver
to operate the action.
If you own a gas impingement AR rifle
and want to convert it to piston-driven, just purchase a
piston-driven upper receiver. You can alternate between both systems
by just changing with the lower receiver.
