    Not understanding how it can even cycle with .25" of pressurized barrel if it's gas operated.
    Almost looked like really light loads... not much recoil at all, and SBRs typically have a lot more recoil.

    And yes, that is the bullet sticking out... which means the barrel is not REALLY 2". I can't imagine that thing can even consistently hit a target at 25 yards.

    Barrel length measurement includes the chamber - dowel down the bore measured to the bolt face. So yeah, that's technically a 2" barrel, with about 1/4" of rifling engaging the bullet, if any. Any shorter, and I'm not sure it could even be considered a rifle, unless you rifled the chamber.

    I understand the technically correct methodology of measuring barrel length, but the chamber certainly won't be stabilizing that bullet once it fires... Just seems like it belongs at Dragonman's or something.

    I guess what I was trying to say, is WTF WAS HE THINKING??

    Gonna hazard a guess here.... "showing off something shorter than him, that can still shoot"

    YMMV
