My opinion comes after firing thousands upon thousands of rounds thru M4 rifles. The carbon in the gas builds up in the internals, which then gums up the extractor which causes jamming. Nothing controversial about this.
You think you're the only one with high round count experience? Why then are you the only one claiming DI is an issue? Because it's some bullshit people say to sound smart.
Uh huh. Why do we need to clean the barrels after firing? To clean out the carbon that was deposited when the hot gas was being expelled from the firing chamber. The hot gas tube takes unfiltered gas and pushes it directly into the firing chamber, thus depositing carbon on the bolt assembly. When enough carbon builds up, the weapon begins to jam.
That's about as easy as I can make it. If you don't understand that, then I don't know what I can say.
You seem to not understand basic engineering. If the gas piston modifications were cheaper than the standard gas impingement tube, then you would be claiming that it's a superior system. AR15 fans don't want to hear that there may be anything wrong with the design of the system.
