well i do, because they have never fired a gun

2018-08-05 19:38:32 UTC  

30 caliber clip ghost gun lmao

2018-08-05 19:40:35 UTC  

They also dont realize an AR15 only shoots a .22 round with more gunpowder behind it..

2018-08-05 19:40:38 UTC  

i never understood the logic.
"We must ban full auto"
"right, so force them to be more accurate with their bullets.... brilliant"
"we must ban pistol grips"
"so that they are forced to treat it more like a rifle and actually aim and therefore be more deadly.... brilliant"
"we must ban the evil 5.56"
"So they are forced to use the larger and more deadly 7.62 or .308... brilliant. You are trying to make things safer right?"

2018-08-05 19:41:49 UTC  

My AR10 is 7.62... theres no point in having something in 5.56 unless youre hunting rabbits or squirrels lol or paper

2018-08-05 19:42:17 UTC  

they call it a varmint round for a reason

2018-08-05 19:42:33 UTC  

the only reason is the lighter weight.

2018-08-05 19:44:18 UTC  

yeah thats how science works

2018-08-05 19:45:16 UTC  

lighter weight, lower recoil, flatter trajectory... but yeah, aside from weight it's *mostly* a wash

2018-08-05 19:47:19 UTC  

really don't get why 5.56 is the standard grunt caliber now. i guess because they can't hit shit so its mostly for suppression so why not save costs?

2018-08-05 19:58:54 UTC  

Because it's too obnoxious to convert everything out of the 5.56 standard short of a world war to deplete reserves

2018-08-05 19:59:18 UTC  

Especially after the crap the US gave NATO screwing over the British .280 in favor of .308 Winchester

2018-08-05 20:13:52 UTC  

no because its easy to be accurate with 5.56

2018-08-05 20:14:14 UTC  

also the internal ballistics of the round

2018-08-05 20:14:29 UTC  

it easily penetrates body armor and then bounces around from ther

2018-08-05 20:14:33 UTC  

there*

2018-08-05 20:28:24 UTC  

what it really that hard to be accurate with the m14?

2018-08-05 20:28:57 UTC  

i find it hard to believe accuracy was the reason when they switched from semi-auto to full-auto for all grunts

2018-08-05 20:39:47 UTC  

an m16 has 100 more yards of effective range and is lighter than the m14

2018-08-05 20:40:49 UTC  

theres a selector switch for a reason tho....

2018-08-05 20:42:34 UTC  

also the IAR was invented as an alternative to the SAW because of weight and thats basically it.

2018-08-05 21:04:05 UTC  

@Grenade123 M16/M4s are virtually never fired in full auto.

2018-08-05 21:04:29 UTC  

m4's are and m16's cant

2018-08-05 21:04:34 UTC  

You could replace all service rifles with semi-auto only have have no effect on squad efficacy.

2018-08-05 21:05:17 UTC  

Whether they are capable of burst or auto is immaterial. The setting is virtually never used.

2018-08-05 21:06:07 UTC  

thats not really true

2018-08-05 21:06:33 UTC  

during iraq and afghan full auto was definitely used often

2018-08-05 21:06:58 UTC  

the building to building warfare made it especially useful

2018-08-05 21:07:35 UTC  

the compact size of the carbine with its ability to be used in full auto made it a great tool for that warfare

2018-08-05 21:07:51 UTC  

I fought in Afghanistan. I stand by what I said.

2018-08-05 21:08:45 UTC  

ok cool. maybe for your unit or squad didnt use it but it was used

2018-08-05 21:08:52 UTC  

and has a place for military use

2018-08-07 02:15:33 UTC  

can I post this here

2018-08-07 06:10:27 UTC  

no, because the daisy powerline 856 is an airgun and this is the firearms chat

2018-08-07 06:17:49 UTC  

Funny thing, my dad used to eat squirrel and rat meat.

2018-08-07 06:18:05 UTC  

My grandfather would hunt those for food.
