A true Dissipator is rifle length. A mock dissipator is carbine or mid length with a rifle length FSB. There can potentially be reliability issues with the rifle length Dissy's, but then again a lot of people on the board use em and love em.

They can be problematic with low pressure ammo and/or in extreme cold conditions. I've found my own to work well with a rifle buffer. Running a carbine buffer/tube required some fiddling.

Bushmaster used the name first, and it was a carbine gas system. The term spread to include all 16ish inch barrelled carbines with a rifle gas length, barrel mounted front sight. |

Bushy may have started using the term, but before they did so, the original "Dissipator" was a 20" rifle gas barrel cut down to 16". |

Nobody was calling the Colt 605 a Dissipator before Bushmaster coined the term for their carbine gas/rifle iron 16" offering because the term didn't exist. Cant call the original Dissipator configuration a "mock" There was even a time years ago (before your time  ) when Bushmaster defended the name Dissipator from use by other companies. Since they no longer offer the configuration, I guess they no longer care who uses the name in advertising the style.

I don't care who started calling it what, when. It's a style. The common parlance for a 16" barrel with a rifle length fsb is a Dissipator. The original style, before Bushmaster called it a Dissipator was a rifle length system, thus it is the original "Dissipator" style rifle. I promise you, that Bushmaster wasn't around "before my time". |
