What is a roller-delayed blowback system?

What is a roller-delayed blowback system?

Edit. Roller-delayed blowback operation uses rollers on the sides of the bolt head: as the bolt head is driven back these rollers swing out into slots in the breech and temporarily prevent rearward motion of the bolt head, while the bolt carrier is allowed to proceed rearwards.

Is roller-delayed blowback reliable?

One advantage is that the weapon systems that employ delayed roller blow back actions, such as the Heckler and Koch G3, or the American made PTR91 of which I have one, are very robust and reliable. They can be ran forever and get very dirty and still function flawlessly.

How do the rollers in the roller-delayed blowback system delay the opening of the chamber?

When the bolt of a roller-delayed blowback firearm is closed, two rollers contained in the bolt head are resting externally against the barrel extension and internally against a wedge, called the locking piece. This delays the bolt from opening long enough for the pressure inside the barrel to drop to a safe level.

How does a roller bolt work?

In roller locked arms in the locked position during firing the rollers rest on parallel surfaces relative to the bore axis on the bolt head, so no amount of force pushing back on the bolt can cause the bolt to unlock. When chambering a fresh cartridge the bolt head is used to push out the rollers.
