I've been thinking about some tuning methods for the rdb. I really doubt any of it matters in the end, but it's been fun to theorize.
The way the system operates, the locking peice dictates how much initial force is required to drive the bolt assembly backward. The buffer spring/weight can add to this, but has the drawback of also causing additional force be created when it pushes forward back into battery.
For example, a 70 degree lock with a heavy buffer spring would produce more felt recoil than a 60 degree with a very light buffer spring?
Is that correct? I know max tested all of these and preferred the former, I was just curious on why that would be the case.
