Here is components used on the guns for the test.
Proof Research Carbon Fiber

The above used Superlative arms PISTON SYSTEM.
They were both using LPVO Scopes, at 8x Magnification.
Generally, if you ask a professional barrel manufacturer about PISTON system VS Traditional GAS impingement system they will say PISTON system degrades accuracy, and traditional GAS impingement is superior for accuracy? Are they right? We think they are probably right. The piston systems are so good, the gun runs so clean.
