No-one, the long lost son

@raydon02 @LPaulson7 @MrColionNoir Colt never sold any of their select fire AR-15s directly to the commercial market even before the machine gun registry closed, most were either secondhand from law enforcement or converted SP1s. So potential of that was pretty tiny

@LPaulson7 @MrColionNoir I didn't realize the M4 was in production in 1984 so i guess some could potential be available for pre 86 sale... way out of my price range i am sure...

A Vietnam vet said I don’t know what I’m talking about… because I said the AR-15 is NOT more powerful than the M4. Let that sink in. I responded to a veteran who made the claim that the AR-15 is more powerful than the standard military issue M4. Then another vet came behind him and basically said I’m the one who doesn’t know guns. Here’s the problem: Respect for your service and being factually right are not automatically the same thing. The modern civilian AR-15 is semi-auto only. The M4 can do more. Same basic platform. Same round. So how exactly is the civilian rifle somehow “more powerful”? It isn’t. And this is exactly how bad gun arguments spread — people hear confidence, emotion, and credentials… and assume that means the facts are solid. So I want to hear from y’all: Should veteran status protect somebody from criticism when they’re wrong about guns? Comment: YES if you think service changes the conversation NO if facts are facts no matter who says it And be honest — Would you have called this out too, or stayed quiet because he’s a Vietnam vet? youtu.be/71xRpD2tijE

@Scouts_Out2 @snapper421 @MrColionNoir This is completely made up fuddlore

@snapper421 @MrColionNoir Some AR’s can’t shoot 5.56. Have to make sure it has a barrel that can shoot both.

@lars_artbro @MrColionNoir M855 is famous for poor performance against soft targets lol

You could argue the 16 inch barrel requirement gives the AR-15 a slightly higher muzzle velocity but who cares when nearly every person wielding and using an M4 have access to and are issued the much more effective steel penetrator variant of the M855 cartridge, which very likely outperforms anything easily available to a typical AR-15 user, regardless of barrel length.

@Billc1241 @AR15_OrdCorps @Name54939 @punished688 Very clearly not

@AR15_OrdCorps @Name54939 @punished688 Are they select fire weapons?

There are now over 32 million AR-15 civilian rifles in private hands in the U.S. They are not the military rifle, they are the civilian rifle. From Grok========= As of 2025–early 2026 data, the most commonly cited industry estimate for AR-15-style rifles (often called "modern sporting rifles" or MSRs, including AR-15s, AK-style variants, and similar semi-automatic platforms) in U.S. civilian hands is approximately 32 million. ========= With 32 million AR-15 rifles in private hands, they are used to kill fewer people than knives, clubs or bare hands...vs. the AR-15 civilian rifle. From Grok: ============ Latest Available Official Data (2024)The most recent detailed weapon breakdowns come from FBI data for 2024 (sourced via Statista and FBI Crime DataExplorer summaries). Here are the numbers for the categories you asked about (these are murders/non-negligentmanslaughters where the weapon was reported): Knives or cutting instruments: 1,566 Blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.): 283 Personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.): 633 Rifles (all rifles): 401 ============ ​ We need to ban knives, they actually murder more people than AR-15 civilian rifles.

@Billc1241 @punished688 M4 is a designation given to the Colt AR-15 model 920. That's how military designations work

@punished688 No, actually, it isn't. The Civilian AR-15 is semi-auto only. The M-4 is not. The AR-15 is no different from any other semi-auto rifle, and the 5.56 is a particularly weak round.

@Twugbugie8 Got a lotta shit from my friends for only ever playing rocket and I still kicked more ass than them

Whatever IW next base milsim for MW4 is I still don't think they'll be able to match rocket yet

@TheGlobeIsDead That's why they wear protection retard

The pressure in the deepest ocean would instantly crush an unprotected diver. Yet we’re expected to believe humans can operate in the even more extreme environment of space? Without protection, you wouldn’t last a fraction of a second.

@tndbaker06 How to make them wanna check your safe more*

How to prevent the ATF from taking your stuff without violences. You can also add or use “old dildos”

@megigogi Yep, standardization is way more of a process than a lot of people give it credit for

@Inf_Ronan The point being, took 30+ years just to be adapted evenly across the Army

I think A LOT of people are confused what transitioning from M4A1 to M7/8 means. AR15 was made in 1957 and M16 was used in Nam since 1963. The same weapon platform was used all the way to the GWOT era. M4 was only introduced in the 90s and was practically the same AR15 platform.

@megigogi And I really don't think we're ever gonna get away from AR-15s for as long as guns are bound by projectiles and gunpowder. Every first world military issues them in some capacity, and there hasn't been one competitor that was even close to good enough to justify standardization

@megigogi M4 is just a designation for the Colt AR-15 model 920, the same way M7 is just a sig spear, M9 is a Beretta 92FS, etc

@SteelFirearms AR-15 or useless garbage

COLT or SIG for combat?

@gummysmith07 @sloushu I think bland, meaningless comments are by far the most suitable response for poor attempts at making me mad

@Inf_Ronan @sloushu give me insight, not a bland, meaningless response

not everything is ADHD man

@gummysmith07 @sloushu I'm sure you were hoping for something more like "nooooooo you can't say that that hurts my feelings", huh

@Inf_Ronan @sloushu bot response

@DrJVoices @anabanosoto @sloushu Shaking in my boots

@anabanosoto @Inf_Ronan @sloushu I think its fear?

@gummysmith07 @sloushu Cool

@Inf_Ronan @sloushu hot take, but NT people are subhuman.

@LittleMoonBoy1 @YugoEnjoyer I really don't see how making a piston door (something you could figure out if you put five seconds of effort in before googling) is on the same level of "oops you took five steps too many and fucked up this questline"

@YugoEnjoyer way more than any from software title too btw

Minecraft is also a part of this image, it's just so popular that people forget that not everyone knows the exact Y levels you can find diamonds at or how to access the end or how to build a piston door

@greatestbkfacts If you need a wiki for unmodded zomboid you deserve to get devoured

@Talisman3945 @Frenetic74 @FightWithMemes 5.56 (.223Rem at the time of it's conception) was designed for the SCHV program, one of its requirements being having equal lethality as the 30-06 M2 Ball cartridge up to 500 yards. So, yeah it is

@Frenetic74 @FightWithMemes Didn't the united states use 30-06 during most of ww2, that is unironically funny to me saying 5.56 is used for war when the 30-06 was used in a world war in the 40s

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@ImbackAgain81 It's not really that special, it's just an M&P15

I want everyone to look at this. Like really look at this.
