It's a proprietary design that strengthens a few parts and remains locked longer to open with lower chamber pressures, and vent gas to the side to help mitigate getting gassed with suppressor usage.

Google sheets has an option to use checkboxes. Backup irons can fail too so might as well make the backup something good. Also the lpvo can be kept somewhere around 3x or higher while the aimpoint is used for close up shots

With most flip up irons, if you drop the gun directly on them while open, they have a decent chance of failing. Even some of the good ones like the rear ARMS sight. Some are better than others, but at that point you might as go with something more useful.

Once you hold an afck, you understand. You don't need an axis lock. You just grab the hole and pull it out of your pocket, then suddenly you have an open knife in your hand that's so ergonomic it feels like it's welded onto you.
