Why does everything have to be shipped to you nowadays? What happened to going to the store and getting what you wanted. Ugghhh.

As someone that delivers packages for a living, I've gotta say it annoys the shit out of me delivering things when the store people are ordering from is 1-2 miles from their home. I understand that sometimes it's because an item is not in stock at that store, but most of the time I'm guessing people don't want to un-ass the couch.

You are out amongst the people everyday, so you can understand why no one wants to be amongst the people. 😂

Everyone loves the M-14 platform, but I would choose something other for wartime use in this century.

Again, you are just assigning context that didn't exist in Nathan's original post ("M16 > M4"). I was just assuming he preferred an M16 to shoot at his knives :)

Nobody talked about the M16 being better when you carry 100 pounds, or in wartime, or whatever. That's in your head.

For example, the M16 sucks in California because it is illegal. The M14 doesn't even need a magazine lock there because it looks to politicians like a hunting rifle. Guess why I bought my first one.

With good ammo they can go down to .8 or so. But remember, that’s .308, not intended for multi km shots …

Yup. The milspec accuracy standards are minimum acceptable standards with issue ammo. Typical accuracy is usually a bit better.

For instance, Lake City typically shoots for (pun intended) 2-2.5 MOA for their military contract M855 to provide a bit of a cushion for the batch tests (because a batch failing the testing gets rejected).

Also no reason to target 1MOA/sub-MOA, because it greatly increases costs to get that level of consistency, and there’s no incentive for far exceeding the milspecs vs ‘good enough to pass with some margin of error’.
