If a Tesla car failed 25% of the time, we would lynch Elon Musk and duct tape him to one of his rockets.
If a build up of mud, water or carbon decreases gas pressure to the bolt, the the AR-15 fails to cycle. This is particularly common with AR’s that have shorter barrels. That’s why gas rods have become all the rage.
The star chamber and bolt face are perhaps the single biggest design flaw of the AR-15. That’s the eight-petaled flower at the front of the bolt. Flowers don’t belong in assault rifles. Some say the star chamber provides accuracy. It does not. Bolt-action sniper rifles don’t have star chambers. They have two or three lug bolts and they are the gold standard for accuracy.
I rarely even read stuff like that anymore, thats how pointless it is.
Unless the author is going to add humor to it to make it funny (eg, like a your gun sucks thread, that kind of a thing) there's no point to it. It's just regurgitating some other crap thats already been said 9000 times. I mean do they think they're going to "win" someone over by forcing that opinion? it's a little late
for that.
This guy is like gun shop commando #65536 or something.
Shit.. this moron even cites "Tesla" that's how you know he's switched on...
Apparently the author hasn't been paying attention to Tesla's QC issues...

Wow, what an astoundingly rational form of analysis. Hey, maybe sniper rifles have two or three locking lugs because they're: 1) bolt actions; 2) bolt actions that trace their lineage back to the Mauser 98 action (or for older snipers, the Lee Enfield or MAS36).
Also, that M110 sniper rifle thingy looks like an AR. I wonder if it has an AR boltface...
Yeah and after that I can't read any more. I see "Ready mewn" ads on Full30 and apparently I'm not missing much.
Because Colt bought all the other designs and was the lowest bidder for manufacturing M16 for Uncle.If they are so shitty, why did they come to be the most popular sporting rifle in the country? Maybe his experience was with the M4 or M16A2.
I'm disappointed that he didn't recommend the SKS instead.
Same.I'm disappointed that he didn't recommend the SKS instead.
lol he didn't recommend anything, just "the AR sucks cuz I'm da green beret" I'm surprised he didn't end with "nobody needs these weapons of war on the streetz". What's the military version of a Fudd?

I read up to the part where he started comparing AR-15’s to sniper rifles.
Comparing the eight lug AR bolt and the eight lug star chamber to a sniper rifle
with a two or three lug bolts. Not one mention that a sniper rifle is a single shot
firearm and an AR-15 is semi automatic?
This guy is nothing but a boob who is looking for attention.
I'm not a glock fanboy, but this is why everybody should own one. In 9 or 45 are probably best. Carry what the local cops carry and you can raid the police armory if shtfI didn't read the whole article. What does he recommend for the Prepper community if not the AR?
What I am sure is not mentioned is why the AR is good to have as a Prepper. Mainly the availability of parts. If every Prepper has an AR then they (we) all will have spare parts, more than one (dozen) magazine, the same ammo, etc. If we are in a SHTF scenario and I break my charging handle I could barter a gallon of my fermented vegetables to Lisa for one of her spare handles.
If we are making a final stand against the zombie hoard then I can easily share my mags and ammo with the group.
And hasn't the unreliability thing been debunked like a million times already?
