If you like guns buy one. If you dont like them dont buy one

Either way know what you are talking about. An AR-15 is NOT used by the military. It is a fun gun to shoot though

Is the M16 based on the AR15?Having asked I believe the military are changing to the M4 now.

@tallpowerhouseblonde The M-16 and M-4 are both AR-15 patterns. All the same gun in different barrel lengths and configurations.

@MethDozer Thanks.Thats something like I thought.I also heard the first M16s had a major jamming problem.
Here in England the military use the SA80.Its a piece of junk.
@tallpowerhouseblonde they are to both. I will have to ask a co-worker to ask her brother that is a Marine

@tallpowerhouseblonde That was a tolerance in manufacturing issue mostly and was corrected early.
Bulllpups in general are junk designs.

@Somebunny21 I'm English so we can't own guns simple as.My boyfriend knows quite a lot about guns though.He says the 5.56mm round can be too small and a heavier round may be better such as the MP5s 9mm.

@MethDozer yes I believe it was rushed into production but all issues were later resolved.Unfortunately not soon enough as the M16 jammed in combat in Vietnam.
@tallpowerhouseblonde 5.56 isn't a bad round but your boyfriend is right. Personally I carry a Springfield 9mm XDM my dad bought me. I also keep an unloaded Mossberg pump action shotgun by my bed. Any one breaks in that is a very distinctive sound when I pump it.

@tallpowerhouseblonde Apparently UK Special Forces are now using a variation of the C8 carbine, a Canadian made rifle.

@chrisCA Canada,the U.S. and Britain also produce the world's best snipers.

@Somebunny21 I'm getting jealous now.
@tallpowerhouseblonde lol move to Texas
tallpowerhouseblonde · 31-35, F
@Somebunny21 i would love to live in Texas or California and would buy a gun then learn properly how to use it.But I do have a major issue that the bad guys shoot back.
@tallpowerhouseblonde the nice part about Texas is there are enough firearms most people aren't dumb enough to pull one out
