Your only access to the chamber is through the little flip up port at the back of the receiver. Good luck clearing a malfunction there.

I did personally note a serious muzzle climb in full-auto fire. A later shooter dumped an entire mag in one burst, the majority of rounds being fired well above the target, the last 10 above the berm.

Other than that, I do not see it offering much beyond the alternatives. What does it do that the M-4 or the H&K does not? I would much prefer the H&K 416 with the H&K steel mags.

Just my .02, YMMV.
