There are no cons. Mid gas system is easier on parts, smoother recoil impulse, more handguard real estate, longer sight radius, you can attatch a bayonet w/o adapter. Besides, all that bbl hanging out the short M4 handguards never looked right to me.

Why "Dis"ing on the Dissys?
they have the longer sight radius, more real estate on the hand guard to hold, True to can't mount a bayonet (huge loss) but hummm..... Dissy with mid lenght gas system .... sounds yummy! BIGGER_HAMMER
