Does anyone else feel a certain way about weapons instinctively just based on their action?
Straight blowback is the caveman of guns brutal and dumb.
Gas pistons on the other hand are just cheating, tarted up blowback and no better than they should be.
Recoil action, now that is for gentlemen.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as direct impingement, is in fact the Stoner gas system, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, true expanding gas system. The Stoner gas system is not an direct impingement system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning gas operated system made useful by the bolt carrier expansion chamber, bolt and gas rings comprising a full gas system as defined by CIP/SAAMI.
Many firearm users run a modified version of the Stoner gas system, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of the true expanding gas system which is widely used today is often called “direct impingement”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the true expanding gas system system, developed by Eugene Stoner. There really is a direct impingement, and other guns are using it, but it is just a part of the system those guns use.
The gas system: the part in the system that allocates the rifle's gas to the bolt carrier group. The gas system is an essential part of a firearm, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete firearm design. Direct impingement is normally used in combination with direct action on the gas key: the whole Stoner gas system is basically the expansion chamber with direct impingement added, or the true expanding gas system. All the so-called “direct impingement” firearms are really combinations of the true expanding gas system.

Okay really stupid question, I'll admit that
How does the barrel stay where it's supposed to be in a short recoil gun
It's not bolted to the receiver or whatever, because it has to slide

locking lugs on the bottom of the barrel interface with stuff on the frame
