From what I understand, the SS was designed for the AR-15 and the LS was designed for the AK. The SS sounds like it would provide a more stable/controllable rifle, but the long-stroke sounds like a slightly more reliable system. I have no experience with either, so I can't say anything about recoil, durability, or accuracy.
I've seen AKs fired in slow motion, and it's NOT a pretty sight. Lots of violent movements. Looks like the whole gun is gonna fall apart. I think this is due to the fact that the LS utilizes such a long travel time for the piston.
Violent movement number 1: gun is fired.
Violent movement number 2: piston travels all the back and collides with the end of the buffer assembly (if this is the incorrect term I apologize).
Violent movement number 3: it begins its journey back to its original position, and the process starts over again. Robust, but that's the only upside.
Doesn't make for a controllable weapon, in my opinion. The SS utilizes a shorter piston travel, but I guess that means that you're gonna have more reliability issues, such as the bolt not moving back all the way and resulting in a jam. I really can't rely on personal experience with pistons, so I wondered if anyone has done a comparison or ones SS and LS.
Thanks guys!
