With the growing popylarity of PCC, it seems everybody are building their 9mm AR carbines as lightweight as possible. Rifles on the other hand still seem to lean towards a heavier setup.
Is this a correct observation, and if so - why is it so?
The benefits of manouverability with a lightweight carbine would also apply for a rifle? Or is it because PCC matches are more "CQB", and rifle matches don't face the same obstacles?
The benefits of a heavier rifle mitigating recoil would also apply to a PCC, would it not?
Anyway, thank you all if you'd like to give your two cents on the topic.
