So we recently learned that MLOK beats Keymod as tested by NSW Crane.  

SOCOM wants a mid length gas system for Block 3 with an MLOK rail.  But how strong are the rails?  

DD RIS is heavy and battle proven but has a rather thin Barrel nut sandwiched between the rail and mounting plate.  So far as I know Geiselle has long been thought the strongest rail with its 2.25" Bbl nut on the SMR series.  They now have the MK13 & Mk14 with slightly shorter Bbl nuts.   The BCM KMR nut is not far behind the Geiselle, probably comparable to the MK13/14.  Noveske/SMOS system is slightly behind them, and then we have the wedge systems.  KAC is in here somewhere but I have no idea where.

How strong does a rail have to be to rip keymod off and exactly what is the pecking order of rail strength to weight??
FYI I am talking longest rail available, at least 13", preferably 15".  The longer the arm the better the data.
