But isnt "making the same old thing newer" exactly what killed AGD?
As much as I liked the DESIGN of the blowforwards, it has never matched blowbacks in terms of speed, reliability, and usability.
The main problem with blowbacks is they usually required fairly high pressure to properly function (ie 500-800psi), otherwise they would have problems in cold weather, or during rapid fire.
If kingman has a blowback that runs well on 200psi then thats a good thing. It means that, when regulated, it could get hpa-like performance without the risks of blowing sensitive rams or noids.
