    “You don’t need an AR-15 for self defense.” That myth is one of the biggest imo. Easy rebuttal: crimes (especially home invasions) are constantly committed by more than one person. Those extra rounds could definitely be needed depending on the threat.

      Need is irrelevant when talking about self defense. To quote Colion Noir "In a home defense scenario, I'm not looking for a fair fight." I for one want every advantage to be at my disposal when it's my life or the life of someone I care about at stake.

That’s why I brought up a specific scenario that happens quite a lot where you could absolutely NEED more than 10 rounds. They don’t care what you want.

      But just ask Joe Red Coat Biden. You only need a double barrel shotgun. Just fire a round in to the air to scare them off. That way you only have on round left to disable everyone else. I mean the McClosky’s (sp?) in St Louis didn’t need all 30 rounds in the AR to defend themselves against several “peaceful protestors” that were so meek they were only able to ALMOST destroy a wrought iron gate.

      For the real maths, you have to get into fluid dynamics and all sorts of advanced physics.

    Regarding the issues in Vietnam Colt had hyped up the gun as "self-cleaning" and the military believed them when they bought them, which is why they didn't issue cleaning kits at first. They quickly found that wasn't true, which issue was exasperated by the military using different ammo than what Colt had specified without testing the change. They subsequently issued cleaning kits and changed the ammo and the guns then performed for the rest of the conflict. Every attempt to replace the AR in military service since then has failed as every design tested hasn't been better. Except the Marines which are currently transitioning to the HK 416, a piston AR that is more than 90% compatible with standard AR parts.

    Speaking of the power of the 5.56/.223 my fiancé uses a .223 hunting rifle for deer and I’ve said to her about upgrading because it doesn’t have the stopping power of other rounds but this past year she dropped a deer with one round through the heart split the heart directly in half and it died before it hit the ground so without a doubt the 5.56/.223 can be used effectively for killing larger game with correct shot placement just like these guys are saying in this video.

    The Army standard for the M4 is 4cm (roughly 1.5 inches) at 25 meters. If you think about it, that's about 5-3/4 MOA!
    Quick math:
    25m = 27.3403yd
    100yd / 27.3403yd = 3.657
    4cm = 1.574in
    1.574in(at 25m) x 3.657 = 5.756in at 100yd = 5.756 MOA
    If you can shoot 5-3/4 MOA or better in the "prone-supported" position, you meet the U.S. Army standard for M4.

    • @jmart0189
      @jmart0189 3 года назад +1

      Just a small gripe about the math. If you're going to split hairs and go that far into the calculations using that many decimal points, you might as well use the minute of angle measurement at 100yds with the same number of decimal points. The 1" @100yds is rounded down very slightly as it's close enough for nearly all practical uses.

      @@jonmeray713 In my opinion, the 5-3/4 MOA Army standard is a low standard. But, anyone that can manage to do at least that much should be able to hit a man-sized target anywhere on the body out to 300 yards. If an AR-15 doesn't shoot sub MOA, it doesn't mean that it's a junk rifle. An inexpensive Palmetto State Armory AR-15 or a Smith and Wesson M&P15 that can shoot 2 to 3 MOA is good enough accuracy for most applications in my opinion.

THAT is why they hate it when we posses them. It's a low recoil, high capacity, fairly powerful and ACCURATE rifle. THAT is why it has been in service in the military for so long. It's not that it is ideal for EVERY situation but it is effective in a broad range of situations. (Be afraid of ANYONE who fears good people being armed!)

      Yes too low powered for hunting. It isn't even designed to kill people. It's designed to incapacitate them.

They were less bothered about 1 shot kills because it was actually an advantage to injure rather than kill because then other men in that squad would have to deal with their injured colleague.

      @@JamesS.254 For the first 2/3 of the 20th century 30.06 was the standard caliber for US Military battle rifles not really a hunting caliber it didn't become a hunting caliber till the 60's when the US went to a smaller caliber rifle as the standard US service rifle .

      Not that I ever want my plate carrier tested while I’m wearing it, but I’d rather it be with a.223 than 30.06

    223 , 243 , 273 all great hunting calibers. Took my first deer with a 223 Remington bolt action at around 100yds. I happen to get my hands on a brand new colt 6920le before colt stopped civilian production.

    I think that what the media preaches , is the capacity of the AR. Hunting rifles in my state can only have a 5 round capacity. I have a 5 round mag for mine as well as many standard capacity mags for range and emergency use. Great video. Keep it up.

      Is that a thing? I haven't run into that personally (also an ak guy myself) but I'm not a fool, the AR 15 is and always has been a fantastic platform and I love mine.

      @Otium Borealis why just one? I say at least 2 of each. One full size and one compact.

      @Shawn Patricio Exactly. I was just busting balls. Kinda like my Marine aunt and uncle mocking my Airforce cousin. A lot of ball busting, but we're all on the same side.

      I love my AR-556® MPR. Got it on sale as a package from Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore. Gun with Romeo5 red dot for $730. Of course, this was before 2020 hit supplies. Nice gun, shoots great, and it is more accurate than I am.

    Nice video. Nothing better than cross over with great hosts. I have many ARs in PCC and rifle rounds. You guys just convinced me to build a 9x39 in a 6” barrel and use my 45 Omega 45K with 3 lug adapter.

    I built a WC AR15 18” bull barrel, sub MOA all day, I shoot precision 100 yards beat bolt guns all the time. My cold bore shot is .25” high. Very impressed with Wilson Combat Barrels. Great show.

    Thanks for the 'Nam mention. I'm a Karl Marlantes fan. He wrote a brutally honest novel about 'Nam, called Matterhorn. He was also in a Ken Burns documentary on PBS. In that series, he trashes the AR platform; I don't know if he said M4 or what, but the platform..
    Thanks guys for selling me on the closed system before I sold it out for something it got over ~40 years ago if not more
