I hate this fucking world, too many god damn fuckers in it.
Too many thoughts and different societies all wrapped up together in this fucking place called AMERICA.
Everyone has their own god damn opinion on every god damn thing,
and you may be saying 'Well what makes you so different?'.
Because I have something only me and V have; SELF AWARENESS.
Call it exortenstiolism or whatever the fuck you want.
We know what we are to this world, and what everyone else is.
We learn more than what caused the civil war and how to simplify quadratics in school.
We've been watching you people and we know what you think and how you act.
All talk and no action.
People who are said to be brave or courageous are usually just STUPID,
then they say later that they did it on purpose cause they're brave,
when they did it on fucking accident.
God everything is so corrupt and so filled with opinions and points of view,
and peoples own little agendas and schedules.
This isn't a world any more.
It's H.O.E and no one knows it.
Self awareness is a wonderful thing.

no, an AR-15 is semi-automatic, one trigger pull, one bullet. Select fire means semi and fully automatic and or burst fire. An assault rifle is thousands and thousands of dollars and requires Special licensing through the ATF along with the fact that it must have been manufactured years ago before the ban.

I'm not aware of that. Any firearms term index or other sources can back you up?
From what I remember, automatic pretty much means the firearm can go through the entire process of feeding, locking, firing, extracting, ejecting, and cocking without human assist.

For the sake of not making a new thread.

Picking up an entry AR-15 this week. It's between a Ruger AR556 and an S&W M&P Sport II. They appear to be mostly on par with each other, but I'm curious about the twist rates. The AR556 has a 1:8 while the M&P has a 1:9. I don't plan to be doing much outside of casual range firing at 100 to sometimes 200 yards with likely 55gr bullets since those seem to be the most common and cost efficient. With this kind of use, does the twist rate even matter?
>>
Serious question what if I filed off the hook on the disconnect and held down the trigger after a shot? Wouldn't the hammer come back down allowing me to fire in full auto?

Full auto assault rifle makes lots of bangs for one trigger pull.

>>30259667
Not that anon but your shit here? >>30259448 It is dumb. "AUTO" on an M4 is automatic fire, meaning the action of the weapon is cycling and firing -automatically- hence the fucking term.

That was the point of this post: >>30259493

Everyone who's a gun owner and takes it seriously knows the difference between full-auto and semi-auto, when somebody says "automatic" in the context of a rifle or a carbine it has a very specific meaning.

>Why didn't anyone put him down or something?
Nobody was armed. Anders Breivik killed more than that and again, nobody was armed.

False flag.....

>>30259843
Correct. My 1 in 9 can shoot 77gr just fine but prefers 69 or 75. I would never get anything heavier to properly stabilize. If you're planning for shtf you want to be able to eat as many types of ammo as possile. If you want a range queen look into diy or comp shooters. Not implying diy is o ly for range queening.

>>30259541
I would give it about 2 mags worth of firing before it blew up in your face and broke something in the gun. There are better ways to go full auto. Like the Lightning Link for instance.
