It grows and shrinks depending on the temperature and my mood. I've fired it countless amounts of time either out of boredum or out of exitement. Sometimes the shot is disapointing but sometimes I wish i could relive that shot everymoment of my life. I like my gun, it's friendly alot of other people wish they could play with it but I have alot of self respect so none of that please. My favorite time to practise and shoot my gun is the mornings. I'm not sure why but I always wakeup in the mood for target practise. But If i'm alone and have no target, I usualy cancel practise. I used to shoot my gun inside a Mazda 3 and Saturn Ion almost every week-end. The owner was always quite pleased, she used to ask me abot how much I enjoy it. Good times. These days since I'm older, I like to have dinner, some drinks, and a really friendly conversation before going to target practise. My aim is really good, I can almost shoot anywhere I want without even opening my eyes. But sometimes it's better to look and aim. Awh, good times indeed. I just hope I don't abuse my gun and ruin it, that would be terrible if it broke on me. All this talk about open season makes me wanna make a few calls and get some target practise organized! Being a Gun owner is Awsome! | ||

Being a Gun owner is Awsome! I hope you're trolling. how is a gun "friendly" ? shooting almost anything you want without opening your eyes ? ya right. If you aren't, having some drink before target practice sounds like the dumbest thing you could ever do. I don't own a gun, don't plan on ever owning one, but shit i want to shoot one at least once. | ||

It looks to be around a $300-$400 startup cost, so it's not too big of a dive for something that I love. What does your dad have to say? | ||

Why? M4's are atrocious. I mean, they still make the stupid things with a forward assist and the rather pitiful charging handle. They double feed and jam something fierce. They're a pain to maintain... I second that, M16s and M4s are swiftly becoming outdated. M16s jam like no tomorrow, M4s are somewhat better but still pretty bad. US military needs to start adopting gas-piston rifles. Russians have a new rifle that outclasses the m16 and m4 in all aspects. AN-94 if you are curious. | ||

I just think the M4 is pretty so i dont care if other guns are better, i dont care if its outdated, i dont care if its got forward assist, whatever that is. it's like an Alfa Romeo, its beautiful, but u will end up in a cloud of smoke on the motorway staring forlornly at your engine. | ||

Maybe I'm just bitter about having basically the least reliable weapon known to man be the primary infantry weapon of the US Army... Use one a few times, and you learn to despise them. | ||

I've used a Colt HBAR AR15 for 15 years, and have used the forward assist a total of zero times. It's there as a backup for when shit goes wrong, not for using every reload. I've put thousands of rounds through it, and jammed maybe twice, due to my own failure when reloading that ammunition. Most feed problems are actually due to magazines... which has nothing to do with the rifle's design. They also make newer rifles based on the AR15 platform with a gas-piston operation if you're that picky about it. But honestly, if you keep your gun well maintained and lubed, it will keep shooting for many many years. | ||

But honestly, if you keep your gun well maintained and lubed, it will keep shooting for many many years. Most civilian model ARs are of higher quality then what the military uses. I have an M16A4 straight from the Marine Corps (Step father was in the marines) and it performs substantially worse then my Ruger SR556 (civilian AR). The M16 is as clean as it can get, marines are told to clean their rifles in downtime and there is a lot of downtime. The forward assist is to help a round get chambered correctly, combination of sub-par ammo and inefficient design cause rounds to get improperly chambered a lot. It can get pretty dangerous sometimes. If you get a blown primer stuck in the chamber or in the barrel it can explode the gun. This is why I always step back when someone at the range starts pulling the trigger and smacking the gun when its jammed. | ||
