Its worth it if your a heavy volume shooter that runs a suppressor. Alot of DI guns will start to choke after 300 suppressed rounds. I used to not be fan of them, but then we got into our season of demos of machine guns for police and marshals. With the Osprey or Adams it won't choke. We had an agency a week ago run 2k suppressed full auto rounds in one of ours and it was still running perfectly.

If you don't shoot much and don't have a can it would be pointless though.

Here is my adams kit in action

Pretty much this. Where it really shines is SBRs with Suppressors on it.

However, in that case, I think I would rather have a SCAR or something similar.

Yeah I don't shoot the thing enough. Maybe a 100 rounds in the past year.. I defiantly don't have a suppressor on it..

I was coming to chime in, but it looks like the question has been answered, the wise man on top has spoken.



Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum

Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you.

you must realize that fear is not real, It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand, danger is very real, but fear is our choice!
