I wanted to soften up the recoil on a couple of my AR's by changing the buffer out. Both AR's are 16" barrel mid length gas with carbine buffers in them.
The first AR, shot 5 rnds with the carbine buffer, cases landed about 6 feet away.
I put a h buffer in, and shot another 5 rnds, cases landed about 4 feet away. I did notice that the recoil softened up nicely.
Then lastly I put a H2 buffer in, and did not see any differance in recoil or the distance the cases fell from the H buffer to the H2 buffer.
Second AR, did the same test, with the same ammo. Zero differance in buffers. The carbine buffer threw the brass just like the H2 buffer did, about 6" away with no reduction in recoil.
I am no expert on AR buffers, and I thought I was starting to get a clue, but this test has me confused. Both rifles with the carbine buffer had the same recoil, and threw the brass exactly the same. First AR has a 1/9 twist barrel, second has a 1/7 twist barrel if that makes any diffence. If anybody could enlighten me I would appreciate it.
