question on Gas tube operated vs....??

was talking to a guy today and he said that there is something other than the Gas operated ARs…im new at all this so wanted to find out what it was?
im getting ready to do a build this will be my first experience with ARs so jsut wanted to see if one was better than the other or cheaper or what it is…goods and bads on both of them i guess is what im looking for

Google, “M4carbine.net piston AR”
