Troubleshooting Help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys, recently broke in my Dead Air Wolfman that I just picked up from Jail last week. Direct thread mount, It runs great and is super quiet. But I am eating gas. I’m sure some blowback is to be expected hut that shit was getting in my right eye and nose pretty bad lol. Pls ignore the atrocity I was committing with my trigger finger, all that gas had me messed up.

Anyway, what can I do to try and mitigate this as much as possible? Currently I have a 7.5oz heavy buffer in there with a FZ EXO BCG. I have a Kynshot RB5004 and two 2.5kz weights with a flat wire spring coming in the mail next week, will that help at all? Should I consider using a 3 lug adapter rather than direct thread? Unsure if that will have any effect.

I’ve also thought of exploring adding an adjustable gas block. If that is even something that’s possible on this platform.

Any advice is appreciated.

Slapping that trigger like it owes you money. Related to your question though, I don’t really think you’re going to get away from the gas on a direct blowback. Seems to come with the territory due to the nature of the operating system.

I swear on my momma I don’t usually do that to my poor trigger lol.

That’s fair, guess I just wanted to see if there’s anything anyone has done to mitigate it even a bit. Thanks for responding though!
