There's nothing unique or revolutionary about that "telescopic piston" that you're mentioning. It's basically what Tavors have been doing since past three decades

As for accuracy due to reduction in vibration of moving parts, it should be somewhere in between a quasi-DI AR and a short-stroke gas piston rifle. And that's the only little pro it has. As for con, it would get very very hot and that too in a place that's just above the chamber and below the scope mount. Also remember it's going to "contain" the hot gases for the whole duration instead of venting out like a typical piston gun with gas block - cylinder mounted far back. Another issue would be the "dumping" of hot gases, as soon as the piston would clear the cylinder hot gases would come back inside the gun.

That's what they do so that it can use aftermarket parts.
What you and @Johny_Baba are doing for a living?

I make small illegal guns for local gangs.
He on the other hand is introducing cheap 3D printed guns (you can check his posts if you don't believe me) in Indian black market and capture my whole customer base.

This japani guy is modifying (reprogramming?) airsoft gun's replica sights to project aviation style 'HUD' on them, he seemingly also "calibrated" (? how, beyond my understanding) for different actual rifle calibres 🤔
and making different switchable ;displays; like this CQB one etc
It's his hobby project for Airsoft guns and he even sold some of them to similarly interested hobbyists but what an idea

Imagine owning a 3-d printer and some electronics kits suitable for this and glasses and source code and ability to combine everything together and..

moreover to that, he's integrating actual ballistic elements to this "HUD Sights

he says they have included a data package for more than just airsoft - like 9mm-5.56mm-even 50cal

Iam not averse to admit it , as far as aesthetically this weapon system is best to see and admire as far ar as iam concerned ۔
It's just beautiful. Beautiful than a Sig , beautiful than ak 203 .
It has its own originality.
What a bloody shame , we who have now sent a rover on moon could not even design such a beautiful rifle.
Don't bring in sss defence etc.
Iam saying that about arde or adani plr or the likes۔

Nope .45 is a non prohibited bore in India. Civilian can buy .45 calibers.
