20 rounds of 7.62 vs. 20 rounds of 5.56? Give me 7.62.

The .223 caliber bullets punched easily through the plywood and paper targets...Neat. I got a .22 rimfire autoload that will do the same thing.

Exactly.
Why buy a weapon that will merely "wound" criminals when the police should have weapons that will KILL the criminals?
The idiots who mass purchase these target practice M-4s have clearly learned nothing from the absolute ineffectiveness of 5.56 as told by the veterans in the book "Black Hawk Down."

Why not one of these instead? 308, 20 rounds, AR configuration.

They will probably torch cut them : (
To: happinesswithoutpeace
Yeah, I can see that... but receivers are cheaper than whole rifles, so if they torch the receivers, maybe we can get some parts kits.

Especially not when you can do this to the M-14.

The only justification for going AR-15 would be to carry more rounds into a battle as opposed to the additional weight of the M14 and .308 rounds. In a urban environment that would not be a significant factor. Seems to me they gave up a better firearm for some other reason. Go figure. Yea Tigers LSUfan. If I can buy one of the M14’s please let me know. I covet my M1A’a but I would love to have the real thing.
To: Spktyr
Most likely they will be turned in to the BATF, and they want the complete weapon. No parts missing.

True, they could auction off the complete parts kit minus the mags and trashed receiver and make mucho cash, or at least let us have the bolts and gas parts. : )
To: LSUfan
During the infamous North Hollywood bank robbery by the body-armored AK 47 toting bady guys, the cops didn’t have enough firepower and had to go to a local gun store to get high-powered rifles........ they didn’t grab .223’s.
