I'm asking a real question. Why is this thing held up as the end-all be-all when all it's been is the in-hand shit rifle of a country that does nothing but lose?
>>
>>64361826
the wars were not lost because of the rifle...

No, they were lost because of the corrupt shit government that bought the rifle. Which makes it the rifle of losers.
>>
>>64361826
Legitimate answer.

The rifle itself is actually good. Geopolitical games that America plays and wins/loses at has nothing to do with it.
The design was incredibly ahead of its time when introduced and did suffer some teething problems, but by now there have been 65+ years of design iteration to perfect it. Reliable magazines are solved, feed ramps are solved, gas timing and barrel twist rates are sorted out.

End result is a lightweight rifle that is accurate at 500m, has incredibly low muzzle climb in full auto, excellent trigger and sights, high degree of tactical modularity, lightweight ammunition that performs well (for what it is at least) and reasonably good reliability. It is fairly easy to clean/repair/upgrade as well.

A big part of it is also cost. The patents expired and because AR-15s are easy to assemble they got really cheap. At least in the US (and/k/ is mostly US centric) an AR-15 is by far the cheapest possible rifle of its type. There is a big price gap between a budget AR and almost any other semi auto center fire rifle.

>hasn't won a single war, actually
I wouldn't say that. We won:
1. Guatemalan Civil War (killing commies)
2. Operation Dragon Rouge (killing the rebels in Congo)
3. Dominican Civil War (I don't know much about this one)
4. Korean DMZ conflict
5. Ñancahuazú Guerrilla Campaign (killing more commies, stopping Che in Bolivia)
6. Salvadoran Civil War (killing even more commies)
7. Operation Cyclone (We stopped the Russians from defeating Muslims, training them so they'd effectively fight us in the future.)
8. A bunch of wars during Reagan's time
9. Gulf War (we stopped Saddam from successfully invading Kuwait)
10. a bunch of other conflicts in Bill Clinton's time.
11. Operation Freedom Eagle (Killing rebellious Muslims in the Philippines)
12. Operation Ocean Shield (Obama sending SEALs after Somali pirates)
13. Etc.

I missed a few, but see, we won a lot before you were born.

Should have just kept the M16A1, put a rail on top, and give it stronger furniture.
Also, A2 grips are gay, retarded, and uncomfortable

another victory for PKM chads mhmm das rite
>>
>>64363570
The PKM didn't kill the M4, the lack of similar LMG for the burger army is the problem. Everything weighs significantly more than the PKM while also being less reliable and durable, I'm surprised nobody has made anything close to it, maybe the KAC but literally nobody uses that

>Everything weighs significantly more than the PKM while also being less reliable and durable
The M240 and M249 are both more durable than the PKM, the problem is the M240's weight and the M249's reliability.
>I'm surprised nobody has made anything close to it
We could just make modernized PKM in Western cartridges (their patent expired decades ago), but the amount of propaganda and memes that the Russians would make if we copied them would make Western leaders cry.
>>
>>64361826
US didn't lost the war, retard. It's South Vietnam who lost the war.
>>
>>64364168
this. The US left on it's own terms, South Vietnam got screwed over in the end, after the VC's decided to renege on the deal.

Cheeto retard fired the DIA's chief due to a leak about the raid. And (you) already know that this information was not good for Trump.
