Keymod vs. M-Lok

One has a SOCOM contract
One bends if you grip it too hard

What a fucking waste of digits

Go away

It is settled

>>33606588
There's literally no point to Keymod. It's been BTFO so hard that BCM (the biggest keymod shill) had admitted defeat and is now going to make M-LOK rails.

Also Keymod rails bend.

Crane says M-Lok

Shelfmod will go the way of the betamax

>>33606598
Bending is a feature. It ergonomically molds the rail to your grip.

Nice zyklon-dubs

I like key mod for the looks and I've never had it bend but I also have it on my range queen rifle, not my innawoods rifle

Don't listen to /arg/. /arg/ is just a handful of trips having a fashion money show with their rifles. Only a few actually shoot their guns.

To answer your question, either is fine. Don't count out quad rails too. Most people end up adding 1913 rails to their key mod and mlok handguards anyway.

It looks like M-lok is the future standard 20 years from now...but if you have keymod, might as well use them to you wear them out.

Are there 2 piece m-lok or keymod handguards in rifle length? Kind of want now.

>bcm shilling has resorted to just insisting that keymod is "as good" as mlok
This is is m8

>>33606588
There's very little reason to go with Keymod at this point. M-LOK rails and accessories outsell it by a considerable margin and it has bigger backers.

Casual /k/ observer.

If the consensus is that keymod is defeated, does that mean we'll see cheap keymod stuff being liquidated at some point by people trying to unload while they still can?

closest I know of

M-Lok is really the better design, it's simpler to manufacture, relies less on friction to attach items, and doesn't look like a shelving unit.

While weighing significantly less and being more comfortable to hold without rail covers.

>Failure load testing demonstrated that M-LOK systems support the highest load of all modular rail systems tested. In fact, the test equipment used to interface with 1913 accessory rails secured with the respective modular rail system across testing repeatedly failed prior to failure of the M-LOK attachment system. Even so, testing of the M-LOK systems failed at loads as high as over three times the maximum failure load of some other modular rail systems. NSWC Crane recommended to USSOCOM that the M-LOK modular rail system be utilized over the alternative systems tested.

I like the shelving unit look...makes me feel...industrial.

Actually yes as far as supply and demand go.

Alternatively, it'll be hard as fuck and crazy expensive in the far future.

Oh nice, thanks
