  1. They had the M-1 carbine in WW2, but military used full power 30.06 rifles as the base infantry weapon. It wasn't until after the Korean War that they switched to the smaller round.

  2.  @semperfi-1918  If my guess is right, the 308 is the same thing as the 7.62 x51 that the M-14 fires, which is basically a WW2 rifle with a bigger box magazine.

  3.  @yeahsteeeve  They don't know anything about guns. The AR15 is a carbine, less powerful than a full sized rifle, such as typical hunting rifle, but more powerful than a typical pistol.

  4. The AR wasn't developed until the 60s. When the US first went to Vietnam the military had the M-14, which is a more powerful, 7.62 x 51, select fire rifle, but it doesn't scare progressives because it has a wood stock. Then they switched to the M-16 which was weaker and more prone to fowling in the dirt. The idea was to fire more bullets, which are smaller cartridges, so you can carry more.

  5. The AR fires a 5.56 x45 is one of the smallest rifle rounds. That's one thing that's annoying about the gun phobic liberals. They would ban a bb gun that looks "military" but a rifle that fires a 30.06 with 4 times the power of the 5.56 would be OK to them.

  6. The most deadly guns are the guns the Dem politicians aren't outraged about -- a big game hunting rifle, which is the same thing as a sniper rifle.
