The AR-15 was built for slaughter in war zones

7.62 works for me every time.

But up for better offers;)

I think the Japanese Self Defense force still uses 7.62 in the Howa 64 which they haven't completely retired yet.

Actually he is correct. It's funny when people talk about the 5.56 round like it's some massive take down round

So in 1962 the Pentagon was not in a pickle? And you deny the piece that I am pasting from the article below?

But the fact that the AR-15 is on the civilian market simply means that a military weapon is being routinely sold to civilians. It doesnt change the nature of the product: The AR-15 is a weapon explicitly designed for the purpose of accurately killing other people, potentially at great distances.

We know this because the U.S. military spent a long time studying and detailing just how effective the AR-15 is at warfare. Whether or not some AR-15s end up in use by varmint hunters, the unimpeachable truth is that these guns were invented and built to do the job of killing human beings.

In the early 60s, the Defense Documentation Center for Scientific and Technical Research (now the Defense Technical Information Center) released a 55-page study on the AR-15's suitability for the South Vietnamese army. The AR-15 Armalite rifle has been subjected to a comprehensive field evaluation under combat conditions in Vietnam, the report began. It went on: because of the controversy which has surrounded this weapon, particular care was exercised to insure that the tests were objective, thorough and adequately documented, and to insure that valid data and conclusions were derived therefrom.

AR 15 was a trademark for design. Its what was submitted for trials. The government approved it with some requested changes and adopted it as the M16. Afterwards, the term AR15 was used only for civilian models that were semiautomatic. For legal reasons, the internals of an AR15 are not the same as an M16. The report you mention predates the official military adoption by about 2 years.

As I said before most firearm manufacturers aim for a government contract first because they are more lucrative. Then they sell to the civilian market. There are failed Armalite designs (militarily) that are almost exclusive civilian guns.

And do you think this is a good thing.

Should I only worry about my shares and hope to be able to afford armed guards at some time in the near future?

I would consider that an overreaction given that rifles as a whole kill about 300 - 400 people a year. AR15s probably make up less than half that.

wouldn't that be because they're expensive?

[Sousuke 1,214]

They were more expensive at one time. There are so many makers now that prices have dropped over time. You can spend as little as 500 dollars for one now.

So I won't make money this quarter? Oh no.

[-relo- 105]

why would it bother me? if i want, i could go buy some of them fancy letterguns with all the parts and stuff right now. didn't even have to sign my life over to the government or sacrifice a smidgen of my autonomy to do so.

I see you're in favor of illegal arms transactions...how progressive of you.

Leagally. After you've had your oil checked by the alphabet of government agencies. Then you could, if you could afford it.

Actually most AR15s are American made by smaller shops. Such as Palmetto and say Rainer Arms.

No time for small scale operations....hmmm.

Statistics say hands and feet kill more people every year than ar 15. But the gun control idiots always lead the fight with the ar15

i suggest you get your sight checked out as i never said anything about needing to purchase one of the fancy letternumber guns illegally.

i wouldn't have any issues getting a pass from the 'alphabet of government agencies' and i've got money.

please explain your point, assuming you had one.

that statistic might be a bit different, after sunday.
