You are 100% right, Dstout. I did misinterpret them. Sorry, when I read it his message I thought it said "I setup a no rules forum for people wishing to look at porn, talk about your ex girlfriends and all other illegal activity." I misread, and that is my fault. I should have looked closer and realized that before. I admit my mistake, and realize I had been wrong all along.
Unnecessary
No, I never served in the military. I tried more than once to get in, but was declined because of my asthma. I slipped through the cracks once but was sent home during basic when it was discovered.
I do have family members and friends currently serving, and who have retired from service.
Can't deny the facts. Would I prefer a M16/M4 over an AK-47? Absolutely, any day. My bitterness towards the weapons is mainly because the military refused to upgrade them. The XM8 clearly would have made a great weapon and would have been a huge upgrade to the M16/M4. Granite the SCAR is available, but I feel the XM8 would have been way more beneficial. Those who were apart of testing the weapons, including select infantry, felt the same way I do, and share the same feelings I have towards the scrapping of the project.
Offroadfury, who is currently serving over there has also agreed with my statements.
I have never experienced a jam in my AR-15. It is a completely different circumstance because I can clean it on my own time, whenever I want, and the area around me is not a giant sandbox with dust storms.
By the way, I joined the section and have already made a post. I looked at some of the others and it doesn't seem bad at all. I took Iron's advice and I gave it a shot.
Thanks
