Return to “Why do I need an assault rifle?”
The AR-15 5.56mm rifle is a lightweight, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed, shoulder-fired weapon designed for semiautomatic fire, to paraphrase the US Air Force arms instructors.bdickens wrote:First: I believe you should remove the phrase "assault rifle" from your vocabulary and just call the thing what it is, which is a "rifle."

JALLEN, this ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoner_63 ) may have been what the SEAL officer was referring to as a "Stoner".JALLEN wrote:I remember back all these years ago in the late 60's, when my then wife's twin sister's boyfriend, later my bro-in-law, a SEAL officer who had led patrols in VN, was heaping praise on a weapon he referred to as a "Stoner." I kinda wish they had stuck with that and let it go from there.
