    Thanks for watching guys! Hopefully 13 minutes of me talking about the AR-15 wasn't too traumatizing for you. If you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see on the next episode of the Whiteboard of knowledge, please let me know down here in the comments!

      @@beowulf9878 Not hotter. The Army, at the direction of the democrats in Congress, changed the powder in the ammo so as to use up several metric fucktons of powder left over from WWII. It didn't burn clean, it caused fouling, and it killed soldiers. Congress then tried to blame Stoner, who had redesigned the rifle to be able to handle the crap they had done with the ammo. Armalite went out of business, but none of the bastards responsible ever even got a slap on the wrist.

      And remember they added a cleaning kit, for stock. They wanted the Soldiers to keep the jungle humidity junk out of the Lock up system. I forgot to resize my reloads, got a lot of dented necks. And I used improper POWDER. The powder has to be the right kind, so like he says the gas system WORKS, got a lot of stove pipe cartridge in dust cover area with mine. The ones we had when I was in Army National Guard. When we fired at training for qualified. We picked the oldest one for the extra ammo we had, Sargent best friends, ass, kissers, got to fire fully auto. At the time we had the fully auto ones. Boy they got hot, smoked if you ran a lot of fully auto rounds through them. I'm saying this because there are. And I think it's people who hate AR-15s, saying there no difference better the Military M- 4 & AR-15. what I have seen is the civilian version would OVERHEAT very fast if Fully auto.
      So why would someone want a fully auto AR-15 ( civilian sold)
      Saying this because Big Government thinks we civilization Free Americans don't need a military Rifle. It's a semi Auto Rifle. Fires a round not much bigger than a 22, they make plenty of 22, that can hold lots of rounds. Why are they so fixated with a AR-15. Because there excellent weapons for Females, let's say a home invasion by three males. She can hold them off by herself, no kick thanks to BUFFER spring assembly. I Love the Look of the Early ones, the ones COLT is remaking now. Anyway that's my take and experience with the grand Firearm/ Rifle. It can never be taken from the American
      Law abiding people. Just like the old rule of the early America was, all male adults 18 and over should be issued one. The American public must be the civilian defense force. To protect the USA, sadly today there are Enemies in are own Government who want to disarm Americans. But a stroke of a PEN by a President as we see, goes to Court. The President doesn't have that power, it belongs to Congress. The people we send to vote for the Free American people who pass LAWS. The Constitution ( second Amendment ) can never be altered. Thanks for Reading my ranting. The AR-15 can never be taken from the Free People of America. That is all.

      There's a theory to that. With the thumb removed from the grip, it may let the rifle recoil straighter back or some shit as the barrel axis wants to deflect off of the resistance of your shooting hand... especially if your stance is loose and goofy. Gotta imagine whoever thought that term up.

      There are those who act as if the AR platform is the only weapon system that malfunctions. All weapon systems malfunction. Thankfully the AR platform planned for it. Many times the M16A1/A2 etc. didn't/doesn't fall into battery because the mthr fker is packed full of sand, mud and various other environmental shit that it collects in a real world fight. That's when you NEED a "failure button." People that live on civilian gun ranges with cotton swabs growing out of their asses will never understand. Semper Fi Devil Dog.

      When you consider that the military was coming from bolt guns, and the M1 Garand, it makes sense though. With either of those, if the round jams, you slap the bolt and ram it into battery and keep going. Originally the AR didn't have any way to force home a round that wouldn't go, but the military made Stoner put the malfunction exacerbator on the AR 15.

    i loved your COD ak video, id love to see more video game gun breakdowns or history. one thing i found interesting when i went back to play ps1 and ps2 games is there was a trend of certain weapons like tec9s and ingrams and SPASs, its pretty obvious how much it was connected to 80s guns used in movies for the longest time until the original CS really

    Just want to note. During my years in the Marine Infantry, I never had one failure of any kind from my M16A2. I was issued one in bootcamp, weapons training, and fleet. None of them failed to fire at any time. I did have my M249SAW fail one time. Anytime I hear of anyone having a failure, it's because they were not cleaning it after every exercise or they were playing with it or adding performance accessories.

      The m16a1 we had 77 81 were totally unreliable they fudged the numbers to prove which units were the best. Maybe the twenty round magazines were the problem so when I got out can you say mini 14

    I once had a former armorer explain it to me like this:
    An AR rifle (M16 M4 whatever) is great for a military with a quartermaster and armorer to take care of the weapons for the soldiers and is an excellent battle rifle
    The AK pattern is simply put an indestructible block of metal that makes smaller chunks of metal go very fast which makes it ideal for militia forces or units that receive minimal training or support. Which complies well with Soviet doctrine. While on a deployment he said that he witnessed an Iraqi soldier taking an old sock in used motor oil and ran it through the barrel and chamber. He called it good enough and went on patrol.

      Yes. Honestly, calling the AR "technically a piston gun" is just arguing semantics to try to either sound smarter than others, or trying to lie to yourself that the AR doesn't jam as often as it does compared to true piston guns. (Inb4 someone posts the InRange video of the AR surviving the mud test while the AKM fails - I already show it to AK simps who think it's objectively better).

    Also I could see that the forward assist could come in handy in a dirtier environment such as where we were fighting at the time because if the gun gets dirty it might not cycle all the way and the forward assist can help it finish the stroke. Not needed in most applications though, that's why a lot of newer designs dropped it
