Years ago in a galaxy far away when 1lostinspace was a noob I wonder what the best round for my AR and will it jam with some dirt on it? We have wondered and assumed a few things. Well over ten years later with multiple weapon under my belt can tell you this.
The AR 15 is far more reliable then its given credit for! I have had more AKs break and malfunction then my ARs! Now I am not saying AK aren't reliable my Siagas and other AKs are top notch but there are a lot of company's selling junk out there. Lancaster,AZEX and the worse so far Ironglad! Back on track how reliable is an AR?
Not bad!
My best friend is a 20+ year USMC vet with tours in Panama and multiple Iraq not to mention training all over the world. He is a purple recipient with 109 confirmed kills 87 with an artillery strike.He took part in taking Fallujah and has seen a lot!
So one day I asked "how reliable was your M16?" He replied the only time I can recall having an issue was that it was so cold that the bolt froze stuck! Then stopping power got brought up and his exact words were " everyone either I shot or other Marines did was down!" Even in cars and at longer distances about 300m or 327 yards. He also mentioned one of the reasons people complain about 5.56 stopping power is due to not having a good zero!
He said I am sure it could be better but seemed to have a lethal effect!
Well guys there you have it coming from the real deal and not some armchair commando in his stained underwear Hope this helps.
