are there more roller locked systems
why tho 😦
they're cool
No and no
better than the TT and only like 500 or so for pretty good condition if I remember right
I’ve heard they’re finicky from other folks, at least moreso than a tokarev
why is roller delayed used more than roller locked
It was maybe 200 and works like a charm
Oh
Ok
no theyre not
gun jesus told me so
oh wait
You have to buy good ammo for the vz52
Russian surplus will work and older spec works
Modern stuff is lowered pressure and won't cycle reliably
roller locking uses the rollers to actually lock the bolt into place, whereas Roller delayed uses similar rollers to just delay the blowback, but doesnt itself lock the mechanism
yes i know
but
Toggle lock coolest mechanism
Flapper lock close second
Straight blowback gang
because other locking systems are generally good enough, and cheaper/more easy to maintain/use
120mm blowback gang
also uh, this is me being dumb but
The difference between roller lock and roller delay is not the interface of the bolt but the action of the entire barrel
things like a gau-6 dont need locking cause the barres are fixed so they can turn adn the pressure is safe by the time it does a revolution?
On a locking gun, the bolt and barrel recoil as one unit
On a delayed gun the barrel is fixed
oh so thats how they are functionally different
thank you
The bolts could actually be identical
But whether or not the barrel is fixed would matter
It also can depend on if the action at any point is entirely unable to open
Usually rearward force alone can't unlock the action on a roller lock, and the action reaching a toggle at the rear point separates it
@Yusako https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12F_am8aumg The bolts do lock up?
o
ohh
Miniguns have bolts
it unlocks when it spins further
