[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my opinion as someone who fought in a war, the AR-15 is not a weapon of war. [/quote]
Honest question: why is that?  The AR-15 is basically an M-16 with the full auto disabled, and the M-16 was the primary battlefield firearm for the U.S. armed forces for many, many years.[/quote]You've basically got it. But that's a big difference.  Also, aside from the side-arm, the M-16 is the weakest "weapon of war" in the US arsenal.  Calling an AR-15 a weapon of war is like calling a Honda Civic a race car.[/quote]

What the hell are you talking about?  The M-16 is the primary handheld weapon issued and used in the US military.  Comments like that pretty much torch your credibility.[/quote]What weapon in the US military, other than the sidearm (which I listed), is weaker than the M-16?[/quote]

Sig mcx in 300 blk subsonic, mp5s [/quote]I stand corrected.  I'll correct.  The M-16 is ONE OF the weakest "weapons of war" in the US military arsenal.  Calling an AR-15 a weapon of war is like calling a Honda Civic a race car.[/quote]

Once you get to a certain level of kinetic energy/momentum it doesn't matter if round A is weaker than round B, both are rifle rounds at the end of the day. If you're hit center mass with a 5.56, 308, 50 BMG it doesn't really matter... you're just different degrees of dead. But 5.56 is smaller and lower recoiling so you can carry a lot more of it and shoot more rapidly. Someone with a 5.56 will be a lot more deadly than with a .50 BMG rifle in a CQB situation.[/quote]

Especially with the new m855a1 round, but a 308 is going to have more knock down power given the prevalence of lvl4 armor [/quote]

Dead is dead [/quote]

If your target is unarmored sure, but cheap lvl3 and 4 is prevalent [/quote]

Sure.  Tell that to the uvalde cops.[/quote]

The coward patrol. [/quote]
