Givati Firearms short stroke pistons and gas pistons can refer to a variety of things, including gas piston operating systems .
Gas piston operating systems
Short stroke gas piston systems are a type of gas piston operating system that's common in modern rifles. In these systems, the gas piston travels a shorter distance than the bolt carrier, and is not connected to it. Short stroke gas piston systems have some advantages over other systems, including:
Cleaner running: Short stroke systems run cleaner than direct impingement (DI) systems.
Less recoil: Short stroke systems have less recoil than long-stroke systems because the piston doesn't directly cycle the bolt.
Higher accuracy: Short stroke systems have higher accuracy than long-stroke systems because the piston doesn't directly cycle the bolt.
