This is M16 versus AK47
Not fancy schmamcy AR15 versus AK47
But poster said M16 not your Armalite
My brother was 3rd Marine Division. Infantry. Hell of a job.
He was definitely a fan of the 7.62 NATO round.
I would love an M14 - but they are pricey and ammo is ridiculous.
I chuckled reading a earlier post of yours upthread regarding the spray and pray mentality haji’s had - just hold that damn trigger down and close those eyes while you do it.
My bro always told me semi-auto was always better than auto due to ammo waste and fools who don’t know how to shoot. Pretty much the same thing you said. He does like 7.62x39 AK’s though.
Thank you for your service!
May God Bless You this Christmas and beyond!
Not much different between an M16-A2 or M16-A4 and a commercial AR-15 other than full auto. Of course, fit and finish varies, but higher quality than an M-16 is available.
I don’t have an Armalite. Few people do.
He probably was getting paid by some other participants.
They’ve done a nice job of shortening it. Also have a ten round magazine on that model. Mine, acquired in 1986 for about $650, is the full GI size and even came with a GI stock and a well used GI sling.
Of course, “underside” should be “underslide”.
Underslide is the distance the bolt carrier moves rearward before beginning to cam the bolt out of engagement with the receiver, barrel extension or trunnion.
Anti-pre-engagement keeps the bolt from rotating _before_ the bolt carrier has nearly completed its forward motion.
A larger bolt carrier/bolt mass ratio means the bolt carrier has more momentum to overcome resistance to pushing the bolt into and rotating the bolt into battery. IIRC, the AK47 ratio is 5, and the m16/ar15 is 4.
