I've said this a hundred times and I'll say it again ... the whole focus of POF has been to design a reliable and accurate AR that will run WITHOUT LUBRICATION!! Reducing heat in the BCG is just a part of that strategy. Picatinny Arsenal has a number of projects running with this very same primary objective ... how do I know, because I worked on one such project in which they were testing lubricious coatings for M249 parts. I still have many of those parts, coated and uncoated. Oil and fine sand/dust don't play well together, just ask anyone that served or is serving in Iraq/Afghanistan. Do I need a POF AR that can run without any lubrication for tens of thousands of rounds .... hell no, but this is America after all.
For anyone living, working and shooting in the USA .... of course a properly functioning DI AR is sufficient. But for those of you who when talking about GP ARs like to use the adage "it's a solution to a non-existent problem", try thinking outside of the sandbox, others are and for good reason.
I voted DI AR because I'm not in Iraq or Afghanistan.
