  3. well not since body count did al gores nieces
  4. Marine combat vet. I carried the M14 the first few months and then was issued the M16. It is true the M14 is heavier, but we were used to it. It always fired and the 7.62 round put a man down. It would penetrate cement block, jungle and just about anything else. The M16 was issued with two magazines and we had to find out on our own that if you loaded it with the full 20 rounds, it would jam. Seventeen rounds became our load. We only got one cleaning kit per fire team (3 or 4 ) and when the rifle jammed as it constantly did, you needed the cleaning rod to push the shell out of the chamber. In fire fights, we were hurling the thing back and forth and if you were inaccurate someone had to go out, under fire, to retrieve it. There were times that we all were jammed and Marines died because of this insanity. It was difficult to adjust sight. No knockdown power. I was on point one day and caught a VC in a patty. He took off and I began firing. Seventeen rounds and several into a second mag, he finally went down. I thought I was missing him at about 150 yards, but when I walked up to him he was swiss cheese. He motioned for a drink of water and when I handed it to him he pitched a grenade at me. Only that explosion finished him. With the M14, they went down on the first round. Finally, walking point, I surprised an NVA team setting up an ambush. I fired first on full auto at 10 yards. but my rifle jammed. They shot the Hell out of me until my squad leader, Clp. Shetterly dropped a second M79 round on them. Somehow, I walked away with light wounds but my M16 took 4 rounds and was done for. That is why I will take the M14, every time and I have more, just got tired of the question.
  5. he M-16 was originally rejected by the US Army. General Lemay of the Air Force ordered a batch for the Air Force security guards and this kept the program alive. The Army finally picked up some and used them in Vietnam. Initial results were horrible. The weapon jammed, a LOT. This was fixed by chrome plating the firing chamber. The gun became reliable and popular. The gun was based on the "varmint" rifle used in western states to kill prairie dogs. This required a small caliber flat shooting gun with long range.
  6. and most shooters — including those that have used the weapons in combat — have tended to agree that the M16 is the more accurate. A trade-off is that the accuracy and range don't equate to penetration.Feb 10, 2022
  7. the ar 15/ m16 was 'light as a bbgun and about as effective' according to many soldiers in vietnam. 1963 –– The year U.S. Army adopted the AR-15, which became the M16. The rifle became the U.S. military's dominant assault rifle. But those Vietnam era AR-15s and the later M16s were capable of fully automatic fire and boasted modifications.Jul 11, 2022
  8. this is in sweden... but many in the USA idolize this fraud

  11. ok, so how , other than it's look does it resemble it... b/c without select fire, it is nothing. militaries use assault rifles. do you know any military that uses an ar 15 ?
  12. Do surgeons always wear masks during surgery? "Really, the surgeon might as well wear nothing on their face," she said. Still, the CDC recommends a mask in the operating room, citing long-standing tradition and the benefits of protecting nose and mouth from splashes of blood and other bodily fluids.Oct 5, 2009
  13. Why do surgeons wear masks in operating room? Surgical face masks (SFMs) provide a physical barrier between bacteria of oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal origin and an open patient wound. Wearing a SFM in the OR is one of many long standing preventative practices, yet controversy exists as to the clinical effectiveness of SFMs in reducing the frequency of SSIs.

  15. lol ' you must agree with me b/c i dont know the difference and we are disagreeing' is quite the argument given the lack of a definitive definition.. um.... there is one. you just refuse to see it. and it's not a legit question. AR stands for armalite rifle its like BMW does not actually stand for big mechanical waste.
  16. thats not what he said. and using your definition.. .the only reason its 'classified' as an assault rifle... is because it LOOKS like an assault rifle.
  17. ok. so here is the entire post.. unedited.. nowhere in it do you repudiate your ignorance about AR standing for assault rifle. and no the ar hasn't changed except that it has many other companies making similar versions based on the same platform. .223 is the caliber a .22 is also a caliber... the .223 is slightly larger. not much. and not a good deer rifle in my opinion. the thing that makes it different is the charge behind the projectile. a .22 with the same charge behind it would be just as deadly.. though it is already deadly enough
  18. and before you start. I AM NOT a warrior. but there are many who are. and i could be taught.
