LOL. Watch the videos! Then get some Tucks Medicated Pads to mitigate the butt hurt.
Watch the third video please. Your question will be answered. Watch till the end and they explain why the AR got a bad rap in the first place.
Will an AR operate with a sandwich in the action? I think not but then again, who's going to put a sandwich in the action?
It wasn't a bad rap, it was reality! Over the years I have read much and have come to understand the why and who of it, I would just like to see them demonstrate it so others can see.
There is a very good reason why we have stuck with the AR15 design for over 60 years now.
cause they are cheaper
Bullshit, and if you actually had watched the videos, and actually read some of the pertinent books (The Black Rifle and The Black rifle II are some good ones) you'd know it was bullshit.
The AK is basically sheet metal taco into which parts are affixed, the AR18 was designed to be easily and cheaply produced by less advanced/wealthy nations (but it was still cheaper to buy M16s from tge US than setup factories to priduce AR18s). The AR uses expensive aluminum forgings and precisely machined and finished internals. The AR15 is actually a pretty expensive design that requires a great deal of industrial sophistication to produce.
Did you watch the videos? The AK stopped working after one shot, the AR15 shot all the ammo with no stoppages, even the Vietnam era spec Colt SP-1.
You can get mad if you want, but I stand by what I said. I carried one too. Or to be more precise, I had one get in my way.
You could maybe stuff some of the twinky in the back of an AR15 bolt carrier? I'm guessing it would cycle like that.
Seen the twinkies with the AR. This thread is fake news
no AK has jammed before ahha
Pod. Don't take this personal. You didn't create the AR to defend it like you do.
You didn't carry one, those first gen's were long gone by the time you were in, they were faulty. I don't know what kind of point you are trying to make, but those weapons that were first issued had a lot more problems than lack of cleaning equipment. If not, why was it a priority to get them out of the field, mine was exchanged for an upgrade by the battalion amour in the middle of the jungle during a resupply, I was one of the last ones. I blame McNamara for it!
Yeah the problem was that the Army changed to a different powder than the first M16s were designed for, and the early ones didn't have chrome lined chambers or bore and thus rusted easily. And these flaws were known about and deliberately ignored, along with the with holding of the cleaning kits, by the Army Ordinance board in a deliberate act of sabotage because the didn't like the M16 and wanted to stay with the M14. And that put soliders like you in jeopardy and got many killed. It was the Army Ordinance dept that is to blame for the M16's disastrous debut and they got shit canned for it. Tell me, were you also issued the A1? That was supposed to have successfully corrected these issue, though the stigma obviously still remains, and unfairly at that.
Facetious much?
I don't even like the AK but I cannot tell a lie.
Post one.
