Germans are a very literal people, and they got a bit confused when they heard somebody calling the radio their most effective weapon because of the indirect fire fragmentation capability.

From 1:36 you can see some interesting things. That training with "live obstructions" reminds Alpha training, which Larry filmed.

So, a bit of a technical question because I am too lazy to do the maths involved (and also, the maths are a bitch, depending on how deep you want to dig into it): Is there an acceptable or optimal ratio between gas port diameter and piston face area, or is gas port diameter the only thing we really care about (obviously in relation to its distance from the chamber). Basically, I am trying to understand the finer points of gas flowing through a constriction and back into a larger volume of space in the context of gas operated rifles.

I don't know if there's a hard and fast relationship to ensure good functioning, but there definitely is a relationship between gas port diameter and piston diameter. Wider piston face means more area for the gas pressure to act on the bolt carrier, and wider gas port means more gas allowed into the gas block, so widen either and you increase the amount of force acting on the bolt carrier.

So, Popenker did an article on shooting knives, I actually did email him asking if he'd consider doing one, though, considering he doesn't know who I am I'm not sure how much, if any influence that actually had on him deciding to do so.
