cut and paste from the other thread....

Gas operated is fine IMO. I have used it in desert and winter conditions with minimal cleaning and some harsh treatments. Not to mention harsh treatments from many Marines before me. Although carbon builds up, it self limiting because of the movement of the bolt.

I've fired about 300 rounds out of a bone dry M-16 with no problems, I've dumped multiple mags on 3 rnd burst until the bbl glowed a dull red with no problems etc....
