So, baby's first AR.
Piston or direct impingement? Does it matter for a range toy?

no, unless you want to be a snowflake and attract all the dudes at the range.
get what ever you can find cheaper

I bought a HK416 (MR556) as my first AR, just recently built a XM16E1 build. Up next is a DOE SMG

I figure anything I don't spend on the rifle goes into ammo so I can shoot more...
>>27548643
Man I don't like carbine ARs but there is something really sexy about a full size AR.
>>27548643
DI.
>>27548643
If it has a piston, it isn't an AR.
>>27548643
Get direct injection
DI is fine, I find it easy to clean and reliable. Rifle length gas system with rifle buffer & extension shoots nice.
If I get gas how often to I have to refill it?

Y-You too.
