OLD CMMG Guard \/ Banshee Test data circa 2017<\/h2>\n

I was previously using the JP captured setups in several configurations (9mm straight blowback and 5.56).  I have the spring tuning kits, standard version in Gen1 and Gen2, Gen2 H2 version for full auto as well as the 9mm version (straight blowback).  Initially tried the H2 version and it was too heavy and was getting malfunctions.  Tried the standard weight and was getting light primer hits and cycled way too fast.   I decided to ditch the JP system since that system wouldn\u2019t allow me to add weight to the carrier.<\/p>\n

Did some preliminary testing on smoothness with the Tubbs flat wire comparing to the Sprinco Green and no-name AR rifle spring and think the Tubbs flat wire was the smoothest.  After that did all testing with the Tubb\u2019s flat wire.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
Testing below was with custom 5.1 oz tungsten carrier weight.<\/div>\n
H2 RoF too fast and couldn\u2019t get singles<\/div>\n
H3 As seen on timer only got 7 rounds tried another time and got to around 8 rounds before malfunction again.  Was also bouncy<\/div>\n
The Enidine Hydraulic was noticeably stiffer to compress than the Blitzkrieg\/Kynshot<\/div>\n
Blitzkrieg\/Kynshot seemed to be the smoothest but did encounter some malfunctions which I think was due to just too much weight.<\/div>\n
AAC tungsten was kind of bouncy and didnt\u2019 lock the bolt back.<\/div>\n
MGI was also bouncy and didn\u2019t lock the bolt back.<\/div>\n
The Griffin Armament AR SOB was surprisingly quite good and I\u2019d say the best choice behind the hydraulics\u2026.Enidine and Blitzkrieg\/Kynshot.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Did a little bit of testing with no weight and it was just too fast although quite smooth.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Finally switched to the 3.5 oz Colt Steel carrier weight.<\/div>\n
Didn\u2019t encounter anymore malfunctions with the Blitzkrieg\/Kynshot, singles were quite easy to get.<\/div>\n
Enidine was noticeably more bouncy than the Blitzkrieg\/Kynshot.  Wonder how an carbine Kynshot would do compared to the Enidine since the Blitzkrieg\/Kynshot is not as stiff.
\n** Update \u2013 ended up getting a Kynshot carbine buffer and the stiffness seems identical to the old Enidine.  Interesting that they both feel stiffer than the 9mm \u2018Blitzkrieg\u2019 version. **<\/div>\n
Again, Griffin Armament AR SOB was pretty good and would probably use that if was not able to use the Blitzkrieg\/Kynshot.<\/div>\n
