I'm a soldier buying my first rifle. (advice from XCR owners please)

It was an attempt at an over simplified explanation. (and I spelled "fouling" wrong) Your details are correct, but there is still no "piston" in an AR unless it is a "piston" AR. "Like" a piston is not a piston, ALL self loading firearms have parts that are "like" a piston.

The piston and the bolt are the same piece in the AR - what is a piston? the part where gas actuated the system by exerting force on it. Voila, that is the second half of the bolt in an AR - that's why it even comes with gas ring to seal up the gas.:)

Think of the Bolt carrier and the bolt form an expandable gas chamber.

canadiangunuser, I see what you mean about the PAL testing.

I'll take the course rather than challenge. I'm just finding myself frustrated because it's going to take 2 days and I feel I could learn it allot quicker than that.

Time to just suck it up and get it over with.

You have to understand - the firearms course is designed such that even the lowerest of the low denominators can completely learn all the stuff. It is designed such that the stupidiest person on the planet with zero knowledge in any firearms could come out with the most basic understanding.
