[SHOT 2023] Mean Arms Bearing Delayed 9mm Carbine

At SHOT 2023's Industry Day at the Range, Mean Arms unveiled their new Bearing Delayed 9mm carbine. This new design uses their existing endomags in conjunction with a standard pattern AR-15 lower. A set of three ball bearings (rather than rollers) are used in order to create a more tuneable delayed blowback firearm. I had the opportunity to shoot the carbine and speak with Mean Arms about this radically new design.
