And just a small point of order (and I don't think you were arguing against this), but a bolt gun has the same amount of gas as an AR, it just goes fewer places.
Not at all arguing about that. What I was inferring though was at the back of a bolt gun, generally speaking, unlike an AR, there is nowhere for the gas to go.

A traditional AR, the back end and especially the ejection port is wide open. Those back pressured gasses have a lot of options on where they go. A normal Carrier even has ports that empty gas right into the open air (at the ejection port).

This new carrier though makes it sort of 'in between' those two book ends. Not only are the ports moved to a much more enclosed area, they also have an expansion chamber for those gasses milled right out of the side of the BGG.

Sound wise this is kind of trying to bridge that gap while still having a semi auto.
