All else being equal fewer lugs provide more locking surface area for a given trunnion size.
This is because between the trunnion lugs and the locking lugs there has to exist a certain clearance for reliable function. Therefore the more lugs you have, the more this clearance will eat at your surface area.

And when it comes to strength in general, a four lug design is obviously better than a seven lug design because the four lug design automatically has a space for the extractor while maintaining symmetricity which means a more equal loading of the lugs unlike with the 7 lug setup where the lugs next to the extractor are a weak point.

Well they did have a few wierd wars with India where first the Indians ran away, then the Chinese occupiers ran back to China.

And there was that war with Vietnam nobody talks about, it's debatable who won, the Chinese won in military terms but somehow lost both tactically and strategically because again... they just retreated to China.

Then there was the Tibetan uprising, which China crushed pretty conclusively, but it's debatable whether Tibetan rebels even constitute am army at any point or whether Tibet is even a country.

Then there was that incident in Korea where the Russians, Chinese and Americans ended up attacking each other directly. But it was unclear if that was accidental, constituted friendly fire, who's territory it occurred on. Nobody seemed to have won out lost anything, and it doesn't seem like anyone even had orders to engage someone just lost their nerve.

China arguably won the Gobi campaign because Russian invaders withdrew completely. But the Russians didn't really suffer any military losses, and seemed to withdraw on a diplomatic basis. Like they just sort of got lost on their way to Nepal and ended up in China by accident. It's hard to navigate in a desert.

China invaded a part of myanmar. Nobody wants to talk about that, like it's some big secret. The satellite footage of the region is all blacked out and its hard to see why Google cares. But it seems someone had a war there, and as Chinese troops are there right now, it stands to reason that China won that war... whoever they were fighting. The wierd part is that the Burmese army denies having been there before, the Chinese army denies currently being there.

I'm beginning to suspect China actually has two separate armies. The main one, which never wins and always loses, and some kind of second army, which everyone runs away from, but then runs away from nothing itself.

Obviously not an equally significant stress riser.
On the AR-15 not only are the lugs made weaker by the extractor cut, they also experience a higher load due to the missing lug. A double whammy.
>>
Also the issue with having 4 lugs is that the bolt has further to rotate to get into battery.
The upside is less machining, greater tollerence for fouling, greater % of engagement if it's not fully in battery.
But you get thermal issues with larger metal parts expanding more, specifically a greater heat diferencial.
So if the rifle is really cold on the outside, shrunken, and the bolt is really hot, expanded, there's an awkward number of rounds where the bolt lugs might jam, at least, until the other parts warm up or the bolt cools down.

But this can lead to a third issue, where the rifle jams out of battery, then fires out of battery, which tends to destroy the mag and blow off the dust cover. It's an issue common to a number of rifles.

Nonsense

Nonsense. Rifles do not fire oit of battery. The firing pin cannot contact the primer unless the bolt is fully locked.
>>
Aren't AR15 bolt lugs legitimately somewhat weak? Think I read that somewhere.
>>
>>64686928
Only really relevant if you try to fire the rifle with its barrel totally blocked. Typically a squib. Due to modern ammo quality both squibs and overpressure rounds are very rare in the first place.

And in these cases, one rifle part or another must fail. Better it be the bolt lugs, which are in the housing, and because the bolt can be replaced.

Better than say... getting parts of an AK gas system lodged in your face, or parts of the grip/barrel protruding through your hand, or the entire bolt flying backwards through your neck.
>>
Imagine be so poor that you make a shitter bolt only to save a few minutes of machinig.
>>
>>64686928
Yeah AR15 bolt lugs are known to shear off after a certain round count. They're undersized and even the best steel you can use for them with a good heat treat eventually breaks.
Rifle designs after the AR15 have beefed them up significantly.

Uh, no.

Germany introduced into NATO a requirement for "Geschossvorlagenfähigkeit", the ability to drive out a squib stuck in the barrel with another round without a failure, since this will feasibly happen with automatic military rifles. The official document is not publicly available on the internet, but I have seen it cited in reputable books.
All rifles made for the german army like the G3, G36, G95 have this ability.
The M4/M16 do not.

>Better it be the bolt lugs

Such a catastrophic failure is inherently dangerous to the user. The upper receiver will then fail, and shrapnel will fly into your face.

Ah I see you too are a connoisseur of me ebin /r/NCD reddit maymays about me China. To coherently claim that the 191 keyholes because of some vague nonsense about "muh corruption" (how the fuck are you supposed to embezzle money by not properly rifling barrels?) Or "muh chineisum, quick question, where was the electornic device you're using made?) You have to hold the position that the Chinese were perfectly capable of rifling the barrels of All three Type 56's (SKS, AK, RPD), Type 81's, QBZ-95's and all th variants thereof, QZB-03's, all their machineguns and handguns but were suddenly magically unable to press the "rifle the barrel" button on the rifling machine since 2019 because the universe struck them all retarded.
What's more likely
1. Rubber bullet training ammo used for CQB practice keyholes
2. The Chinese are not able to incorporate a firearms feature that has been practiced for centuries and were perfectly always to do before 2019

Even the most jingoistic retard has to admit they're being retarded about this.

You've upset me with your semantic arguments and autistic knowledge.

Because at sea level there's no difference between the bolt designs, the soviet ones are easier to manufacture and have a longer theoretical service life- but are more prone to critical failure. At sea level, it's a non issue.

But in the Himalayas there are specific issues with temperature differential on the larger AK style lugs at the adjusted high altitude operating pressure. The AKs can be slammed into battery when they really shouldn't, and will suffer a non-trivial rate of failure.

It's only a few thousands of an inch, but it's a consistent issue with the AK bolts. Tolerances are too loose, beefy steel parts shrink, you're working with adjusted gas pressures, operators smash them into battery when they're full of frozen sandgrit, you get a non trivial rate of OOB.

So in the technical discussion about locking lugs, that's the only context i think it's relevant and that's my experience.

Another key point on the LMT bolt

Lug number 4 is sheared down enough to the point where it's essentially a symmetrical 6 lug bolt larping as a 7 lug bolt. And it's made out of some proprietary supersteel that's massively overbuilt with relief cuts to boot.

The Stoner action also relieves some stress on the bolt through his internal gas piston magic where the bolt is pressed forward towards the barrel extension when firing so IMO I don't immediately believe that 4 giant ass lugs are immediately better and stronger than 7 smaller lugs if you factor that in, especially not when using an improved bolt design like the LMT E-bolt. Stoner was REALLY good at optimizing shit and he totally got away with using smaller lugs, it does pretty damn well for running 58,000 PSI+ ammo.
