AR15 myths

[INMY01TA]

the AR15 is an "assault rifle"

fixed. I then tell them it's not then I hear: "Well then what's the AR stand for?"

 

[Bolts Rock]

Ar-15's aren't accurate enough for hunting or target shooting. That was the standard anti myth back in the 80's and early 90's at least.

I can't believe that nobody has posted 'the bullets tumble in flight' yet.

doesnt it have a shoulder thing that pops up?

the AR is the end all, be all, do all, everything in one rifle...owning anything else is a waste of money and makes you look like an idiot because nothing can ever be as good as the heavens' forged AR 15.

"the only reason to have one is to kill alot of people."


I actually had a lady say to me that she rather get hit by a bus then shot with a assault rifle. Not sure how a 24,000 pound object going 50 mph is going to do less damage then a 55-75 grain bullet going 3,000 fps.

I prefer my angel.

Oh, right a myth. The AR's 5.56 round is designed to wound, not kill; since wounding then requires the enemy to devote resources to the care of the wounded soldier. Riiiiiiight.

If your disconnector malfunctions, the ATF will immediately descend on you from Blackhawk helicopters, shoot every dog within a 1/4 mile radius, and haul you off to prison.

Magpul is god.

I remember one time I ordered a CTR stock from Magpul and it took about a month for them to ship it. I called them at one point and asked them why there was such a delay and they said they were "having trouble with the availability of machine parts". I told a friend of mine this and his reply was, "what, they can't find a new light bulb for their Creepy Crawler oven?"

$50 and five minutes work and you have a fully automatic assult weapon.
