I will look through my paperwork to see if I can verify those figures. But in the 70's and 80' the M16 still had a lot of issues.

Unless it is a oversize gas tube like the AK the risk of piston binding are high.
Of course there will be less fouling on the bolt in a piston rifle because the gas is hitting the piston. The fouling will in the piston and gas tube as I pointed out many times. The fouling will be the same but in different location between DI and piston rifles. The fouling does not magically disappear on a piston rifle it just deposit at a different place.

I have had more gas tubes turn into a piece of spaghetti on a AR than pistons binding in AR180,AK, and FAL while firing.
