I do think gas piston is superior. And if you're in a situation where cleaning and maintenance will be hard to keep up with, for instance, war, I think the gas piston system is a huge benefit. However, I still think there is nothing wrong with the DI system. Even in war (no personal experience, but we all have opinions ) I don't think it's a terrible thing.

DI AR's aren't the jam-o-matics people seem to think they are, you just need to clean them more often. As civilians, big fuckin' deal.

The merits of a piston gun aside, you have very few (if any) of the benefits in a converted AR.
