I love how idiots (especially those who never served) like to use the term "military grade" as if it implies nefarious intent or something... 🙄
a good portion of modern technology & medical science was born out of military necessity, should be therefore ban them?
There are few (if any) rifle actions or cartridges in modern circulation that were specifically designed for & use by only military's, The 5.56 is just a higher pressure version of .223 Remington, itself based on .222 Remington which is a civilian designed bench rest round.
All actions, optics, accessories are rooted in civilian market; firearm & ammo manufacturers simply couldn't survive without civilian ownership as they constitute the majority of their business...
what "military grade" really means is that it's something designed and built with the cheapest parts available that can be mass produced and be idiot proof to even the most stubborn marine; In absolutely no way does it imply superior quality or "extra deadliness"...
we were lucky to get 1 moa groups out of our military issue m16's/m4's; My AR15 is much better than that, and capable of sub moa grouping (3/4" inch or less is the industry standard these days); the military doesn't care about precision as long as it goes bang and flies in the general direction of the enemy...
many of us were accessorizing our rifles with civilian market scopes & attachments long before the military ever adopted them; The first vertical foregrip (that the democrats are so scared of and somehow think makes a rifle more deadly) literally started out as the end of a wooden broom handle duct taped to forward grip. The military issue slings were complete garbage & only improved after civilian market slings crept into military usage. The overpriced & overhyped ACOG sight literally started out as a pair of binoculars split in half and attached to a hunting rifle...
