The barrels have been getting shorter and more violent in recoil on the Pro Tour. He may have landed on something that will give him an edge. If he thinks so, that trigger is getting a workout and I'll be he can go sub 0.10 splits with a tuned trigger. That had to be one of the flatest recoiling short barrel configs i have ever seen and i could see Jerry was surprised and excited about it.
Jerry is of course sponsored by S&W, so he would not just do it on a hunch. The timer would have to prove out. All that said, and knowing many of the other Pro Tour competitors, if he went into the last match and got a top 5 finish, that would pretty much guarantee that he stays in the top half of the 30 man Vegas ladder. He is currently 14th and there are 6 guys with only 2 matches, 3 or 4 of whom will move past Jerry pushing him to the bottom half of the bracket. He has to do something to stay in the top half. Showing up with a Tavor and crushing the bracket will cause a lot of consternation and it might make a few guys trip up. This all could be a clever rope-a-dope by the crafty veteran as well.
