  1. The term 'assault rifle' is derived from 'Sturmgewehr' - meaning 'storm gun' or 'storm rifle'. While the name is often attributed to a specific weapon, the Stg44, the 'Sturmgewehr' affectation was given to the Kar98-k, which is a bolt action rifle. So, at the root of the term 'assault rifle', you find to deceptively humble Mauser bolt gun. And if you read the accounts of those who faced it even with the mighty M1, you wont dismiss it.

  2. I dont know if he can 'fire expert', but I know for a fact he do everything else he said... because they are THE SAME GUN.

  3. The M16A2 FCG will drop right into my Colt's. After the Omnibus Crime Bill, commercial mfgs, had to alter the receiver millings to prevent that. However, you can simply mill out the additional material and have a M16 receiver. Some receiver castings even have casting marks, where you need to do the milling.

  4. That is perhaps the most desperate strawman Ive seen in a week. you dont get to use the term 'logic', until you learn what it means. Imbecile.

  5. Actually, you can get the specs from google and mill it out with a dremel tool. Moron.

  6. You are a really special kind of stupid... and you have atrocious reading comprehension.

  7. Thats all thats required, until such time as you make a valid argument, composed of correctly employed words that you actually understand.

  8. Wrong, you can alter a receiver to any spec. The FCG is what makes it a 'machinegun'. You really need to stop posting, because you have no idea what youre talking about.

  9. So, youre not going to stop posting, huh? There is no such thing as a 'full auto lower'. There are lowers that were manufactured and assembled originally with the FA FCG and are registered as a machinegun. A lower with some material removed is NOT a machinegun, until it has a FA FCG, the actual 'machinegun', installed. At which time the assembled lower becomes a 'machinegun'. The OCB stipulation was that lowers not be 'readily convertible', meaning not convertible with drop-in components and does not specify how that is to be accomplished. It can simply be moving pin holes, so that a milspec FCG wont pin up(exactly how some lowers have been produced produced). But this is all moot and has nothing to do with the comment you are flailing about over, because you either failed to comprehend it, or more likely that youre institutionalized to a false dichotomy and simply didnt make the effort.

  10. CITATION NEEDED

  11. You have bad reading comprehension, or youre being deliberately dishonest. The article is about a licensed arms manufacturer that manufacturers machineguns, possessing illegally transferred machineguns from other manufacturers and machineguns, manufactured AS machineguns, not properly registered. But again, its moot, because youre still attempting to crawl away from your arrogant post about the difference between an M16 and an AR... which now according to you, is apparently a pin hole. 🤔

  12. No, theyre not all identical, but all ARs operate and handle the same way. Thats what makes it an AR. If I understand your analogy, it would be like saying if it has a safety, its not a revolver.

  13. Just fucking STAAAAHHHP

  14. You do have bad reading comprehension AND youre institutionalized to a false dichotomy. But mostly youre just disingenuous and have no compunctions to 'lying to tell the truth'... just... like... the 'enemy'.
