Post; Do recoil buffer weaken the bullet?


I heard rumors the guns with no recoil buffer have better bullet velocity and tumbling compared to ones that have a recoil buffer.

Can anyone confirm this?

I think that is quite true! I think the gun will be extremely accurate! But so far, I have not heard of a gun before. Cna intro me that gun? or at least post a pic!

I find that highly unlikely...

However, blowback-operated weapons will have some effect on the velocity of the bullet...

By "tumbling", do you mean "fragmentation"? In that case, fragmentation has a lot to do with the velocity of the bullet...
