@autunite1878@fleshsimulator@zambologna especially if the guns were undergassed ROF gets pretty inconsistent.
the cool part about all those M240 comparison videos is how they always cut it just before it dips to ~450 RPM lmao
@fleshsimulator@zambologna all the media and press release fuckery was in an effort to just pin it on bump stocks and shuffle it out of the news cycle
"oh nooo how tragic, now that bump stocks are banned this can never ever happen again and you're completely safe to come gamble here :)"
@fleshsimulator@zambologna during one of the bursts the ROF audibly slows by around 100 RPM. 240Bs are designed for sustained fire, it takes a lot more than 100 rounds for heat to slow it down that much. that behavior is almost identical to FA converted AR-10s
@JayScottVincent@punished688@Michell09971295@libsoftiktok The posting clearly states it's a Colt AR-15, Model 614. It's also S/N 207973, likely made in 1965 at the earliest, well after the M16 was designated. If this is a prototype, do you not find it strange that the military would order and adopt hundreds of thousands of prototypes?
@NaviGoBoom the larperator mind cannot function in an environment where lack of skill can't be compensated by crapping up their gun with trinkets and funkos
@Daddyo95382957 @CigsandMonsters @punished688@ThornsBTC@DrugganLuke@TRHLofficial do you get this bent about the phrase "hunting rifle"? is the rifle doing the hunting? how about "carry pistol", "fishing knife" or "writing desk"? do you start arguments with REI clerks cause a jacket can't hike? get real
@LordDSofCanada colt surely had the average late 50's sportsman in mind when they designed a rifle with an aluminum frame, replaceable fiberglass furniture, flash hider, bayonet lug and ghost ring sights in an unproven proprietary cartridge priced at $1800 adjusted. very forward thinking of them
@LordDSofCanada @lemonstyx @9mmmelly@gbagg@TWilsonOttawa Stoner did not design the AR-18.
Military use of the AR-15 began 5 years before the XM177 existed.
The XM177 did not become the M16.
@Nexus_Tao@punished688 NO its ar15 cause when the army bought the over pressured NATO rounds thats when EUGENE stoney modified the civilian model chrome lined auto sear but then the ARMALITE RIFLE patent was designed to tumble and Vietnam sold colt to the military u need a class 3 license for that ...
@cssslinger @punished688@SenWarren you've been presented with primary sources from both the military and the rifle's lead engineer. I don't know how much more spoonfeeding can be done for you. do you need someone to make airplane noises?
@realStopFaking@punished688@Acyn The M16 was "based on" the AR-15 in the same way a dog named Sparky is "based on" a dog. "M16" is nothing more than a part number for AR-15 model 604s acquired from Colt. The AR-15 as a rifle, platform and concept was created at the request of the DoD specifically for combat.
@NaviGoBoom that's not an ar its m 16 a 1 cause when eugene stoner invented the tolerance and the twist rate of the NATO firing pins then armalite rifle patented the wrong powder thats when colt modified the vietnam to wound the mattel full auto military version yep I take the m14 any day...
