Shooting it was pure joy. Almost no recoil. Amazingly accurate.
Yeah, it was loud -- It was a freaking rifle.
I sold it to a friend many years ago and have regretted ever since.
Oh dear lord above!
Back in basic we called the M-16 the ‘Sproing’ gun, because that was because the spring was the loudest thing we would hear when firing it.
Now if you want LOUD, then you should shoot a Lee Enfield in .303. My friend was sighting one in and a dead tree fell over from the shock wave from the rifle. That was a funny sight I must admit too.
“The recoil bruised my shoulder.”
Are you f-ing kidding me? You can fire an AR-15 with the butt of the rifle on your gonads and fell only mild discomfort. What are his shoulders made out of, wet toilet tissue?
What? I've fired one and it was fun, nice crack sound to it.
What a bedwetting wuss. Also, screw this gunshop owner! I wish I lived close to him so I could not shop at his store.
If it’s that scary for you to fire, I suggest you don’t. Leave it to real men (and women) who are capable non-whiners. And in the future, maybe focus your reporting on things you can handle, fashion, the looming kale shortage, etc.
Kuntzman is obviously a homosexual liberal Jew with zip firearm experience
But can you imagine having that last name?
Oh dear!!!

“The recoil bruised my shoulder. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary case of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.”
Naw, not PTSD. I’d suggest PMS but I know better. I felt just fine with it. Everybody else was ducking, but I was just fine.
Try a Mosin next time, Shwea’ Pea.
The AR15 is not fully automatic. Any fully automatic weapon in the US must be approved by the Department of Defense.
I’ve shot pistols before, but never something like an AR-15. Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting fiery deathmaking explosion of sheer firepower is horrific, humbling, deafening (even with ear protection), and blinding. One shot put both my ears and my eyes out.
The recoil tore both my arms clean off. The molten-metal brass shell casings disoriented me and flew into my face, and like some sort of evil tapeworm, burrowed into my brain, searing and scalding my flesh in a sizzling torturous manner. The smell of hellish sulfur and destruction made me vomit uncontrollably, and Satan himself appeared before me, and said, "Good, good... murder someone...". Anyone who owns such a device is clearly a sick, perverted terrorist. The explosions — loud like a nuclear bomb — gave me permanent PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable, and longed to drink the blood of infants. Guns make you eat children.
Even in semi-automatic mode, it is very simple to squeeze off one hundred thousand rounds in a picosecond, killing millions. In fully automatic mode, you will put out the sun. You don't want to put out the sun, do you?
In 60 seconds, this firearm can destroy all the life on the planet Earth, including microbes.
“It feels like a bazooka and sounds like a cannon.”

LOL, been with the Army for 30+ years, I remember the change over from M-1, M-14 to AR 16. Loud?? It was a pea shooter compared to the M1 and M14. Want loud, try a Carcano Carbine, a Moisin, or a 98K if you want loud. Then come and tell me an AR 15 is loud.
Pure deceitful falsehood.

The AR-15′s rate of fire is not nearly as high as some exaggerated numbers I’ve seen. Sustained rate of fire is roughly 12-15 rounds per minute, and that link is for the true military M-16 version. They tend to overheat and/or jam if you shoot too fast.
