Accuracy? Also that's almost 3 oz, which is a lot in a hand gun.

>>34139493

Because you gain almost nothing for that weight. Locked breach semi-autos are very reliable, to the point that the the extra mass moving back and fourth and making accuracy shit just isn't worth the minor reliability gain.

You gain a $200 reduction in the prize of the gun.

>>34139883
At the cost of weight and accuracy? Starting to think you're legit retarded. This was a shit thread.

>>34139883

I'm not so poor that it matters. I will take the lighter and more accurate gun for $200 more.

>weight
Only a very minor increase.
>accuracy
What are you talking about? Wouldn't a fixed barrel made possible by the blowback design contribute to better accuracy?

It's an increase, so it's a negative.

>Wouldn't a fixed barrel made possible by the blowback design contribute to better accuracy?

If you are shooting the gun rapidly it will be moving around more because it has more moving mass and that mass is cycling RAPIDLY. There are fixed barrel semi-auto pistols that aren't blowback BTW.


Look, this is not difficult to understand, there are benefits and drawbacks. For almost all uses the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.

The most accurate gun is likely a single shot. If not that, then a long barrel revolver.

The best all-round gun is the modern polymer semi-auto

The cheapest nigger guns are blowback.

Stop being an autist.

>80g of weight

you dense fuck

$200 msrp.
Most guns COST less than half of what they retail. That's how profits are made.hipoints are cheap because they're are made as cheaply as possible, not because they're blowback. Makarovs are cheap because 36973016479233 were made, not because they're blowback. Look at the price of SD9VEs, Shields, bulk buy glocks, Caniks, EAAs etc etc

Yeah ofc there are benefits and drawbacks but i'd say that saving $200 is well worth it for a very minor increase in weight and a minor reduction in rate of fire. Pistols are secondary weapons after all, that $200 could be used to improve your main weapon.

>>34140447
The use of cheap manufacturing methods by HiPoint ie. partially cast slides and so on is made possible by the blowback action working even with these cheaply made parts.
