still governing based on polls

lying for the 'good' of the public sounds totalitarian

nothing says i dont care what you think, more than ongoing, extensive and repeated daily claims explaining your disdain in great detail and that you dont care what other people think

sorry ionel it wouldn't let me get rid of the quote section, if this tags you.

i dont disagree, but i was told that ncaa athletes couldn't win the worlds or olympics after just finising an ncaa career b/c he didn't train his whole life in the style (see JB for starters, im sure there are others) so maybe gable can..? who knows...

i personally am looking forward to the climate change lockdowns

maybe.. remember the 'great society' pushed on us in the 60's by johnson

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.

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.

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

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
