The military and industry has already provided him with an extremely reliable weapon, with great ammunition and reliable magazines. If he would just keep the bolt carrier wet, it will run like a champ-better than AK's and other assault rifles, in my experience.
Personally, I agree that DI is fine the way it is. But ... there's that rare scenario now and again so I at least tolerate the (military) interest in piston guns. I own nothing but DI and have had many a debate with a co-worker that is excessively proud of his piston guns. I got that former Marine to bow his head in admission that he never had a DI gun stoppage the entire time he was in the Corps. Had him on that one.
