Second, you are absolutely wrong about the length of a gas tube having “absolutely nothing” to do with dwell time. Shorter or longer gas tubes increase or decrease the distance between the gas port and muzzle, absolutely affecting the dwell time ....but you knew that;)

See the bit about the pigtail gas tube. The only way to change dwell time is to change the distance between gas port and muzzle. Are you saying the Dracos barrel does that?

BTW - Reading several articles, three things effect dwell time: Gas port to Muzzle distance, Gas port hole size, and Gas tube length.

Ya he has that effect on people lol. It’s really not that hard. Dwell time is the amount of time the BCG is engaged by gasses. So from the port hole (where gas first reaches the gas tube to engage) to the end of the muzzle (where excess gas is then released out the barrel) is dwell time. Anything that affects this time.....GAS TUBE LENGTH(because it changes where the port hole is located changing that overall length) is one thing that affects dwell time.

We are specifically talking about this Dracos barrel, which apparently adjusts gas tube length but not the gas port location, if I understand correctly. Your argument about changing the port location with tube length is an attempt at misdirection away from the point of the discussion. We all know that changing port position affects dwell time. My initial comment was that changing gas tube length without changing the gas port has no affect on dwell time.

Acpguy, I think it's a little too early for you to proclaim victory

The bottom line is this: The dwell time is the time it takes for the bullet to travel from the gas port to the muzzle. Do we all agree on that?

Question: If blow back is the amount of gas released into the gas block, gas tube and eventually to the gas key, length of tube or restriction on a variable gas block would affect that function correct? Not change the dwell time?

The only way to change dwell time is to change the distance between gas port and muzzle. Are you saying the Dracos barrel does that? Are you actually listening to yourself...... because changing the length of your gas tube does in fact require your gas port be repositioned as well,which changes the distance from port to muzzle changing the dwell time.... you do get that rite?

A pig tail gas tube is a longer gas tube, but doesn't change the port position. It does not affect dwell time. Are you going to answer the question about the Dracos barrel or are you intentionally missing the point? Does it have multiple ports in the barrel or something? Or does it adjust the gas tube back and forth, changing it's position relative to the gas key on the bolt carrier? That's a very different thing.

Based on my understanding of the Teludyne StraightJacket patent is the gas hole is a fixed position. The adjustment screw only lengths/shortens the gas tube volume. With all the research I've done to state and re-state the front adjustment screw not doing a damn thing. At least now I know what is in the secret sauce...

Port size and tube length do not affect dwell time. Lots of people writing articles don't seem to understand that. Dwell time is the time from when the bullet passes the gas port to when it exits the muzzle, plus a small amount of time where pressure vents out the muzzle. None of those other factors do anything to change that time.

Wouldn't a variable gas block affect the amount of gas going back to the gas key too? So If I closed off the gas block "system" no matter how long the barrel is past the gas port, no gas would be going back to the gas key.

Acpguy, I think it's a little too early for you to proclaim victory here . . . because I think Yondering was dead-nuts correct, and mostly all of the arguing here is because of confusing terms and mis-use of terms. You said: "Dwell time is the amount of time the BCG is engaged by gasses. So from the port hole (where gas first reaches the gas tube to engage) to the end of the muzzle (where excess gas is then released out the barrel) is dwell time." I think I agree with those statements, except that I'd replace "BCG" with "gas block." So yes, the dwell time is the time that it takes for the bullet to go from the gas block to the muzzle, and all that while it's blasting gas into the gas block. Where it gets complicated is that you keep talking about the length of the gas tube. Sure, if you assume that you have a straight gas tube, then for a given barrel the length of the gas tube will affect the location of the gas port, and affect the dwell time . . . but that's all pretty irrelevant. When you throw in the pigtail gas tubes as mentioned earlier, then obviously you can change the length of the gas tube without changing the location of the gas port. The bottom line is this: The dwell time is the time it takes for the bullet to travel from the gas port to the muzzle. Do we all agree on that?

Ok.....so this is the first time in any of your statements you have specified “changing gas tube length WITHOUT changing gas port location “ . All I’ve been tryin to drive home is that changing the length of your gas tube changes the location of the gas port this deff changing dwell time! As for the DRACOS (awesome barrels by the way) I do not believe the adjustment screw actually changes the gas port location. But as stated it’s also my understanding that it’s not an adjustable gas block either. So..... idk yet. I was not the one saying it did or didn’t on those specific barrels. And as for the pigtail gas tubes other than my “lmao” comment , again , wasn’t my statement. I just kept saying that “gas tube length does in fact change dwell time simply because it requires the gas port be moved” that’s it. Yond kept screaming “gas tube length has nothing to do with it” . It clearly does.

Do we all agree on that? Agreed! Not proclaiming victory, was simply playing the semantics game. Gas tube length is a factor , because then port location becomes a factor that’s all!!

Not change the dwell time? Correct, affects the function. Time from when the round passes has block to exit of muzzle (dwell time) still the same.
