So a proper 9mm ar has no shell deflector? You sure about that?there is no case deflector on a proper 9mm AR
I’ve only seen a handful that didn’t. Most just aren’t as obvious as they used to be due to smaller ejection ports. Most manufacturers have started to blend them into the machining of the upper better for aesthetics. If you’ve ever shot a 9mm upper with a full length ejection port and no deflector, you quickly realize that you end up with empty cases flipped around the bolt as they are thrown off. At least that was my experience when I tried to build around a side charging upper over 10 years ago. My current one is the end result of that failed test and was SBRd on 2013/14 ish. It runs like a champ.Most of the 9mm upper receivers you can buy don't have a shell deflector.
what pcc are you shooting nowI Haven’t. All the 9mm ars I’ve shot have been pcc and they have no deflector.
I’m sure if you converted a 15 to 9mm they would, but most dedicated ar9 do not that I’ve observed.
Do your homework. It I is NOT a case deflector. Read Black Rifle 2. Hank Tatro design. GAS deflectorSo a proper 9mm ar has no shell deflector? You sure about that?
Better go take a look at the OG Colt SMGs in 9mm. That big piece behind the ejection port is a shell deflector. Even the MP5 has a shell deflector on it, a small piece of sheet metal that does the jobView attachment 8149869
It’s actually dual listed. Many well known gun folks even just call it a deflector. Larry Vickers called it a shell deflector as well when he did a video on the 9mm SMG lineup. Depending on what text you read, it is referred to both at some point and time.Do your homework. It I is NOT a case deflector. Read Black Rifle 2. Hank Tatro design. GAS deflector
That article was written in 2022. And if you are saying Larry Vickers is some copycat, maybe you should go read up some.I would like to see in writing where a credible source acknowledges it is a shell deflector. Colt (Hank Tatro) designed these rifles. It required numerous work a rounds from the 556 design. They tested it extensively in the 1980s. That some copycat 40 years later mistakenly thinks it’s a shell deflector, designs his upper with a perfunctory version it it, and calls it a shell deflector would not surprise me but that doesn’t make it so.

I gotta have fun somewhere.Oh look, another thread where the OP's question is answered early on but then devolves into a stupid semantics argument about something that doesn't matter. New day, same SH..
