Blowback Bolt Weight (grams) | Effect |
---|---|
10 | Very light bolt weight may result in increased felt recoil, potentially causing cycling issues due to insufficient mass for reliable operation. |
20 | Light bolt weight may still cause cycling issues with some ammunition types but might offer slightly reduced felt recoil compared to heavier bolts. |
30 | Moderate bolt weight likely offers a balance between reliable cycling and reduced felt recoil. Suitable for a wide range of ammunition types. |
40 | Heavy bolt weight provides reliable cycling with most ammunition types and significantly reduces felt recoil, enhancing shooter comfort and control. |
50 | Very heavy bolt weight may lead to sluggish cycling in some firearms but offers maximum recoil reduction, ideal for shooters prioritizing comfort. |
These are general estimations and the actual effects can vary depending on factors such as firearm design, ammunition used, and individual preferences. It’s always recommended to consult with a knowledgeable gunsmith or manufacturer for specific recommendations regarding blowback bolt weights for a particular firearm.
