I have a gas piston Ruger AR15 and to me it is vastly superior to the original direct impingement design, sorry Stoner... It stays a hell of a lot cooler and cleaner, has an adjustable gas block and comes with only a small weight penalty vs DI. I know Ruger had some issue with carrier tilt causing premature wear in the early design but they figured that out and is now a non-issue. I don't understand why gas piston ARs haven't eclipsed DI by now but I suppose it just has to do with tradition and companies' fear of departing from such a tremendously popular design...
This VZ58 is also a gas piston design. It doesn't have the modularity of the AR but otherwise I think it's a better rifle chambered in a round I prefer...
I put the AR stock adapter on there and a custom made grip but it's bone stock otherwise. Anyway just wanted to share some pics, there is no point to this post otherwise..
