Impossible Mode: You know how to clear a misfeed properly
>>64945799its fun to press
>>64945799If you ride the charging handle down you can still get the round chambered without ejecting a good round and redoing the the whole process
>>64945799Saved Rittenhouse.
>>64945799I want to swap to soft points without alerting my superior officer.
>>64946143That crybaby?
>>64946143Malfunction caused by poorfag rifle
>>64945799Confuses normies. Some still think it's a charging handle thanks to CS1.6
>>64945799I've been on ranges where we had a few thousand extra rounds of ammo and sometimes when you're them off like that all day the carbon build up and the heat of the chamber will stop that first round from going all the way into battery, and it needs a little nudge. Nothing anyone in any situation would ever find themselves in though
>>64945799When hunting and you want to close the action quietly.
>>64946284What competent hunter is in the woods without a round in the chamber?
Sniper button
>>64945799Helps push the bcg back in after maintenance without getting your hands covered in grease.
>>64946217>>64946220Okay, and the FA still saved him.
>>64945799It's odd so many people cry about it. I had to use it multiple times in the military and a couple as a civilian. All colts and high end AR platforms. It's almost like those that laugh at the forward assist are those that have safe queens and low round counts.
>>64946288When I exit the car I close the doors quietly, close the action quietly etc. Animals have very good hearing and you don't want to alert every critter within half a mile radius by letting the bolt close full speed. I use active ear protection when hunting, when the noise level is turned up you notice how much noise you are making.
>>64945799It's a good alternative to the awkwardly placed charging handle
>>64945799if your rifle gets really dirty and the bolt doesn't go all the way you can close it real quick with your thumb
>>64945799it doesn't make the rifle worse
>>64945799I don't understand the hate. Mine never saved me in combat, but when I was being a lazy retard at Benning and didn't clean my rifle before we qualified, I managed to score expert (36) with several malfunctions, the last one resistant to sports so I just bruised my hand on the FA and she went into battery.
It would be neat to build one into a cigarette lighter like those that used to be in cars. Or even just make it look like one.
>>64945799>clear a misfeed properlyProperly is a strong word
>>64945799when I have the upper off the lower and the BCG pops out the back a little but I can pop it back in without having to touch the sooty greasy BCG
>>64946217He killed one of yours and is a free man, lolseethe more
It's a bureacratic addition/modification of the design (expediency insisted-by-PTB during wartime)Same as the 3-degree incidence wing on the final production Martin B-26F/G Marauder variants.>wasn't needed>enshittified the machine>they did it anywayThe Government : always there just when you want and absolutely require them
>>64946143Came here for this.>>64946217You were probably posting emo lyrics and overidentifying with Shinji at that age, faggot.
>>64948520>>enshittified the machinehow?
>>64948583Because stoner is a god and anyone who ever disagreed with him and his ideas are a heretic. Just like the stupid Dutch that ditched his innovative flash hider and sleeved barrel concept to make the AR10 "more ready for service" (big board of ordnance just bullied everyone into rejecting the AR10 before the Dutch had a go)
>>64945799It's nice to have and not need than need and not have. Plus it makes the receiver look more interesting
>>64948598oh, you're memeing.
>>64948605>oh you're copingftfy
>>64948655I don't think he's serious.
>>64948666sure, Satan
>>64948605I am, the first guy probably wasn't but he's retarded
>>64945799It's a necessary part because of the shitty charging handlesystem. Only notrainings think they're useless. You're not even allowed to use one without a forward assist in any professional field. You only shoot at the gun testing range so it doesn't matter. Get a gun that's missing something it needs.
>>64948571Why the fuck would you call me out if I'm not even the anon you are arguing with fren?
>>64945815FPBP. It's a good lil pushy button.
It's for stimming and stimming related purposes
>>64945799For it to function your bcg needs ridges on the side which means your bcg is smarter because it isn't smooth
>>64945799Will let you make the extractor engage so that you can clear certain malfunctions properly.>>64946220Shifting the goalpost. His problem in that situation could not realistically been solved without it, it's the reason he's alive.>>64946217You should have seen how Rosenbaum and Grosskreutz cried.>>64946319Correct.
>>64947628>I don't understand the hate. Forced meme by YouTubers, pretty much entirely informed by Eugene Stoner's expressed dislike for it, which Eugene Stoner was simply fucking incorrect about (similarly to how Mikhail Kalashnikov was fucking wrong about the AK74), having been disproven by countless soldiers.>>64947730He's a retard and thinks every malfunction can be cleared by just racking the charging handle.>>64948520You're another retard.
>>64948679The charging handle being slightly less practical is worth keeping the action protected, and it's a better setup than the spring loaded dust cover on the FNC or AR18.>>64949184Trufax.
>>64949330Do they even make smooth bcgs anymore? Just looked it up and found no results
>>64949330There has never been a gun made since the AR15 that has an AR15 charging handle, because it's shit and everyone knows it. All newer rifles are being made with left side charging handles because that's the superior ergonomic place to have them. A left side, non reciprocating charging handle that acts as a forward assist if pushed forward.AR18 is irrelevant too, it racks on the right like an AK. That has its place if you're in the arctic or very bad conditions. AR15 has no place anymore. It's an arcane, uncomfortable gun with too many tiny parts.
>>649495380/10 bait you could've at least tried to make a believable post
>>64945984Wat
>>64949379I'm sure someone does.>>64949538>There has never been a gun made since the AR15 that has an AR15 charging handleSteyr TMP / B&T MP9H&K MP7Finnish Kp/31 basically did the same thing 30 years before the AR15.Cope, mald, seeth, dial 8, your mom's a whore, your dad's a gay prison whore, etc, etc.
>>64946143This. I honestly didn’t believe it when I first saw it. Had to rewatch it like 5 times before I believed that he didn’t rack the gun.
>>64946143/thread
>>64949613I can't believe I'm responding to this. You know how you normally drop the slide/bolt on a gun to chamber a round? Like you pull it back and let it fall free? And how if you don't let it fall free and instead hold it as you try to chamber the round, sometimes the round doesn't chamber correctly and the gun doesn't go off? Well if you do that on an AR you can push the little button and it will seat the bullet correctly anyway.
>>64945799It's sometimes useful in winter conditions
>>64951537I'm gonna be honest, I'm a no guns and also the OP
>>64956389>refreshing honestyGet 'im, boys!

>>64948604It just balances out the brass deflector, proper slick-side uppers look fine.
>>64958342>>64958353>Use outdated slop goyim, it's good for you!Might as well throw rocks at eachother desu

>>64958384>buy my pistonslop, goyimNah.
>>64958366Nah, slick sides feel a little too smooth, too featureless. Needs some bumps, break up the smooth lines because smooth/curved lines are bullshit
>>64958393Is that why literally every military on earth uses piston guns? Is that why literally fucking nobody except inbred mutts use DI outdated slop? Is that why you're a retard?
>>64957985>muh ambiLearn to shoot right handed, trash.>>64946217>defending pedophilesRope, NOW
>>64958529The American military is the largest and most powerful, AND competent in the world.
>>64958529>>64958611>>64958619>>64958628Found the low caste trash, kys already paki
>>64958737Why'd you reply that to me for? My image shows Pakistan as the most inbred nation in the world.
>>64957985AR15s are light, and if you're so fucking bothered by gas from the charging handle (because you're shooting suppressed a lot), then you'd know that gas deflecting handles exist, and also that the forward assist is actually helpful when shooting suppressed, if you just can't be bothered to build a rifle with an adjustable gas block.If you shot suppressed a lot, you'd also know that piston guns make a piston pop, which is something you don't get with the normal Stoner gas system. It also doesn't give you carrier tilt.
Can someone please post the US military trials in Panama (I think?) were the examiners reported that they liked the AR and most of the minor problems it had can be fixed by the forward assist (e.g. "bolt sometimes knocked out of battery by brush, can be fixed with bolt closer device", etc.) I used to have the screencap but can't find it anymore.
>>64958830>carrier tiltCarrier tilt is only an issue for pistons shoe-horned onto an AR-15 carriers. Guns designed for off-axis impulse don't have a problem with off-axis impulse.
>>64958937>t.slop loving retard
>>64959058Retard
>>64945815it requires no further justification for existing than this. It's fun to press.
>>64945815/thread
>>64959058>>64959177retards
>>64945815True. I like the sound it makes and the circle indent in makes on my thumb.
>>64958942This is a cope, it still happens on HK416s, just slower.
>>64961279Yes. Read the part again about shoe-horning a piston into an AR15 operating system.
>>64945799fun fidgit toy for the tisms
>>64945799As soon as the AR10 and AR15 were out of Stoner's control, they both got forward assists. Different militaries from around the world requested them.
>>64964139Stoner got nearly everything wrong.
>>64964715He got most things right, then Jim Sullivan refined it.
>>64964715Eh, he was an ideas man and his basic ideas were good but needed another set of hands to make them great. He wasn't wrong per se, just unable to realize his engineering ideas had to be handed to retarded grunts
