What is an "assault rifle"?

[hunarcy]

Why the fuck does it matter?

The weapon sold to civilians is not the same fucking gun as the m16 or m4, by many factors and specification.

What's your fucking point?

You are simply wrong. The ONLY differences between Colt AR15/M16/M4 are minor features (barrel length, stock configuration, sights) and the fact that civilian versions do not have burst fire/full auto.

They are all mil-spec, there is no difference in metallurgy or quality.

But feel free to keep embarrassing yourself, it's quite hilarious.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You are a moron.

Here's a hint: An M16 costs about $1300.00. You can pick up a very nice AR15 for about $500.00 Ponder that and see if you can figure out why.

 

[bripat9643]

And you think that the AR-15 that is sold to civilians is the ArmaLite AR-15 that was sold to the military as the M-16??? When you actually know so little, why do you feel that you should post on this subject? ArmaLite was going broke, so sold the rights to the rifle to Colt. Colt continued to use the AR-15 trademark for its line of semi-automatic-only rifles marketed to civilian and law-enforcement customers, known as Colt AR-15. The select fire Colt ArmaLite AR-15 was discontinued with the military's adoption of the M16 rifle.

Armalite designed the AR10/AR15, but their bid for government contract was rejected in favor of the M14 in 1959. They sold the rights to their AR10 and AR15 designs to Colt in that same year, and never produced these weapons for the military.

Colt went on to produce many versions of these designs, including over 5 million M16's. Though other companies were licensed to meet production demands, Colt still made the vast majority of AR15/M16 variants. The patents expired in 1977, and until that time Colt maintained primary production and oversight of ALL.

Stop pretending you know something, your gaslighting is useless against actual facts.

.

His point is that since civilians can't have military arms, then they can't be allowed to have semi-auto "assault weapons."

Until the barrel melts because it's not made to fire like that for long. Of course, you didn't know that, did you?

and the gun will malfunction before the barrel melts

Really?

I wonder why that didn't happen in Vegas when Paduch killed 50 and shot 500

See, this is why you're on ignore. The Vegas shooter had 23 rifles. He did not fire 500 rounds through one rifle. All you had to do was google Las Vegas shooter and you wouldn't have made a fool of yourself. Try harder.

Fuck you and your ignore. He had only two guns modified to fire like machine guns.

So the answer is TWO...maybe..and they didn't melt the barrels or malfunction

Wrong and you know it. Or prove he ONLY used 2 guns.

This is exactly why we can't compromise on gun laws. Crap like this.

Careful when you ask a stain for proof it only makes them spew more fake news.

 

[hunarcy]

Not really.

There are significant differences in the civilian AR barrels. Most of them are not the same as what is issued on a M-4.

Many civilian barrels are stainless steel, which the military never uses. Some are a weaker grade of steel with no chrome lining. Some have different twist rates. Some, like the hammer forged ones, are better quality.

The military issue M-4 barrels are 14.5 inches. Unless you get a NFA stamp or a pinned muzzle device to lengthen the length of the barrel you can't even own one.

While inferior barrels are available in AR15 style rifles, the barrels on a genuine Colt AR15 are mil-spec and always have been. Mil-spec barrels are also available from MANY other manufacturers.

Your allusion to the M4 is a red herring meant to obfuscate; this is another issue entirely. An M4 is a "short rifle" (barrel less than 16", oal less than 26"), and thus is NFA regulated. Barrel composition is not a factor. Nice try, though - and typical of you alleged "experts".

Geez. Colt does NOT sell the Colt ArmaLite AR15. It was DISCONTINUED with the adoption of the M16. Colt has not produced an ArmaLite AR15 since 1964. So, to talk about a rifle that hasn't been produced for 55 years is dishonest, distracting and actually just propaganda.

The original Armalite AR15 was produced from 1956 to 1959, and was a failure.

Colt purchased all rights to the AR15 in 1959. They are responsible for all variants, and continue to sell this rifle to this day: Colt AR15 Series

Is it possible you are hung up on the "Armalite" company and mere semantics? If so, be aware that Colt alone is responsible for the specifications and production of the only true mil-spec AR15, and has been since 1959.

Or more likely, you're just an ignorant troll. But you should bear in mind that your infantile lunacy is actually harmful to the cause you claim to support. Try to do better next time!

Poor child. When propagandists like you talk about how the AR15 is a military spec weapon, you're talking about the ArmaLite AR15. AR15s sold to civilians do not have the same specifications and tolerances. When you lame gun grabbers start bemoaning "weapons of war on our streets", you are lying.

Oh, and it amuses me you don't refute the fact that the only true military spec AR15 was discontinued 55 years ago. The AR15s that Colt sells today are designed to prevent interchangeability between semi-automatic and select fire components.

So, you are free to try to refute the truth, but the fact is that you propagandists are distorting the truth in your efforts to demonize firearms.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Depends on who is holding it and what their intent is.

Both could be used in a mass shooting of unsuspecting civilians.

So what you're saying is that the REAL "assault weapon" is the human being.

You talking about your buddy asswipe?

Because he hasn't shown any proof

 

[Lesh]

There is very little difference between a military assault rifle and a civilian one.

Explain the difference if you disagree

Fuck yourself then jerk off and explain the difference between a military assault rifle and a civilian one

Whatever for? It's been explained to your lying hide several times already.

 

[hadit]

Trick question. We don't have civilian assault rifles.

 

[M14 Shooter]

There is very little difference between a military assault rifle and a civilian one.

Because assault rifles are assault rifles, regardless who has them.

There is, however, a significant difference between an assault rifle and an 'assault weapon'.

What is an "assault rifle"?

The loony left thinks a cap gun or a bb gun is .

You can pick up a real AR-15 Model 750 or LE6920 for right around a thousand. it's Mil Spec. Mil Spec means it's made from the same parts bins that the M-16A-4 is made from sans a couple or three parts. And all Parts MUST be provided by Colt or FN.

Now, about that 500 buck AR, it's junk. I don't care what it says on the Box, DON'T SHOOT 556 NATO THROUGH IT MORE THAN A FEW TIMES. There is quite a difference in the expansion chamber between the 223 barrel and the 556 Nato barrel. Plus, there won't be as much use of Chromium plating in your 223 junker. But not to worry, all the upgrade Mil Spec Parts do fit for the Mil Spec Colt AR-15 no matter who made your junker. But, in the end, you will end up spending twice the amount of what it would cost you to just buy that Colt model LE6920 or the Colt AR-15 model 750.

So is a good old fashioned flash flood. But it's tough to get one of those to rampantly run though a school full of school children.

By the time the left gets its way, both will be illegal. In fact, aren't cap guns already illegal? I haven't seen one in ages.

That's not the case with a vile of anthrax.
