Why the AR15 Remains My Favorite Rifle

Hey guys, I took a two day intensive class with AsymmetricSolutionsUSA last weekend. Wow they wrung my 51 year old arse out! But I learned SO much. If you want training with real-deal truly experienced special forces guys, this is the training place for you. It was amazing!!!

The training made me realize why I really love the M4 Carbine so much.

And, if I may, let me share a fairly brief video on the platform, which you might find useful to share with friends who have little or zero experience with it.

I had a Battlecomp compensator put on it, hence the very flat recoil, by the way.

Here's the video:

LOL! They're there, Bro, you just missed the best accessory, which is a small switch that engages the Cloak of Invisibility. This is what it looks like when it's turned off:

Didn't I see that in the hands of a Klingon Warrior ship captain on Star Trek years ago?
 
My Dislike For ARs is Purely Psychological

Never had any reliability issues W/ any of the M16s I was issued; obviously the price was right and the Ammunition was free as well.
The problem was every time I got to shoot one it meant I had to lose sleep ( & maybe my day off) get up in the middle of the night, ride halfway across Germany ( or Fort Lewis, or Fort Carson or Fort Sill) usually in a snow storm or a rainstorm. get to the range at 4 am and wait till 9 for range control to get done W/ PT and open the range ( did I mention the rain and snow) Eat a nasty MRE for breakfast , a NASTIER MRE for lunch and suck it up for dinner. spend at least 12 hours on the range (not counting drive time) to shoot 49 rounds usually in a foxhole full of mud & the occasional rattlesnake and climb back in the Deuce & a half (did I mention the rain & snow) to arrive at the barrack (usually right after taps) just in time to spend 2 hours waiting for the arms room to open up (for what that was worth) and the rest of the night scrubbing that GD M-16. If I never shoot one again it'll be too soon. :D

HaHa! You've been traumatized! I hope the PTSD from those experiences are waning? :fie:
 
Why the AR15 Remains My Favorite Rifle? Not mine, I still love my M1 Garand. Just busted off a few hundred rounds this past weekend. Gotta Lov IT. "General George S. Patton called it "the greatest implement of battle ever devised." I ain't arguing with no dead general. NO OTHER PLATFORM has as many kills to date.

You need AT LEAST 3 more ACOGs on there. And a chainsaw. Never forget the chainsaw.

Well, as you can see, the chainsaw is kind of an either/or proposition. Bob was asking what Amsdorf was going to do with all those empty rails (jokingly), so I showed him (jokingly also) what was possible with that "cute" rifle. But yeah, a chainsaw is possible too.

Hey Bob, betcha can't do this with your peenchy AK's....

I have many rifles shotguns and carbines, some are for close in, mid range and reach out and touch someone. I like them all. I sold one once and regretted it until I found one just like it and bought it back. In a world where good is bad, bad is good, right is wrong and wrong is right, I guess you could say I have a addiction, but again in today's world that makes me a valued commodity.
As someone that lives behind the lace curtain in NY I used to have an AR but my dog ate it.

Ps. Blues just saw you chainsaw pic. We gotta talk.

That thing needs a much larger scope on it! Geesh, it must be giving that flashlight an inferiority complex.

:lol:

Haha! I've got a smaller 3-12X 42mm Nikon with BDC600 reticle on it now. That flashlight is a very powerful Fenix. It stays on permanently, when the red dot is on it, and bipod is off. It works nicely with or without my scopes.

You wanta see a flashlight? This is on my pellet rifle. 100 yards is no problem with this setup at night. Light throws a massively bright spot for hundreds of yards, with a small amount of spill. I hate night critters. Especially those that tear-up my property. The shrouded, baffled barrel makes this so quiet you only hear the hammer hit the valve, and a slight ping when the air reservoir reverberates. I use a heavy pellet to keep it subsonic, so no noise from it, besides a slight hissing as I hear it on its way to target. Supersonic pellets start tumbling and are inaccurate at those velocities. I may clearly see the pellet leave the barrel, follow its flight and impact with this light.

The scope is a 6-24X 50mm with adjustable shutters front and rear, like cameras use. Sidewheel parallax adjustment.

Use standalone night vision hardware to locate, then they are illuminated and engaged. Once they look into the spotlight, it's usually one shot, one kill. I strive for the humane shot. Nikon rangefinder makes things a bit easier.

whoa....

Is that an AR-15 or a Transformer? I think Optimus Prime is missing something.... :)
