The magazine seems more interesting than that gas system. I guess the tube moving instead of the piston is something.
It's a blowback action instead of gas like an AK. I think it's just a guide rod on top, maybe it also adds weight since blowback guns need a heavier reciprocating mass.
Yeah, on a lot of these blowback AKs they just don't finish milling the gas piston and carrier and use it as mass
