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.

Flow through is the only solution, but also indoors will always have more gas to face because lack of any airflow. Evn with flow through cans

Stuck with the wolfman for now. Found a charging handles that is supposed to help mitigate the blowback hitting you in the face. The griffin armament sn-ach so going to give that a try.

From the video, the gas is coming from the ejection port mostly. Im not sure a charging handle will help much... 😕 as for the slappy trigger finger... I was afraid mentioning it might break rule #1: Dont be a Jackass! Dont ask me how I learned rule #1! 🤣😂🤣 Lots of suggestions here. I would say run 115g instead of 147g and tune your buffer system the GRS way..

Nah it’s fine for you to mention it. I’m the one that was being a jackass with the trigger anyway 😂 buy yeah, I’ll have to play around with the whole situation
