One might claim Marines are a better shot than those in the Army, but that’s just stirring the pot! I agree though, practical accuracy counts a lot more. And seeing as how I’m certainly no expert; I hereby cede to your argument.

You could certainly be right, I’m far from an expert on the matter. I’ve always figured suppression is something for the light machine guns, at range though I would default to someone who knows more.

I agree that we don’t need to give everyone sniper rifles, but with the proliferation of moderately powerful optics on front line troops weapon systems such as the ACOG style or 1-6x and 1-8x scopes for the DMR role, mechanical accuracy is becoming a bit more of an issue than originally using an unmagnified eyeball…

Consider this, off the rack M16's and M4's are considered “combat accurate” if they can maintain a 3 minute of angle group. Off the shelf AR-15's in the $700 range should be getting <2 moa, and generally, any AR-15 over $1000 should be getting <1.25 moa groups.

Well, perhaps... some people will download a magazine by 1 round for reliability and ease of chambering next round, so perhaps its a 15 round magazine they are just speccing to 14? Seems silly though...

Meanwhile, I’m just curious how they counted to 14 rounds... GLOCK brand GLOCK magazines in 9mm come in 10, 15, 17, and 31 round flavors while stock, can all Glocks can have an extra +1 in the chamber, and they offer +1 and +2 baseplates. So I can see how they get 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 31, 32, 33, or…

Ugh, PLCAA should get them thrown out immediately... Damned court making a mockery of the law.

Jalopnik is leaking. I approve.

nope. though I generally think of it how it would actually work. Extend the handle, put your foot through the handle and have that part at the bottom, buoyancy will keep it upside-down for you, basically becoming a +60 pound float to help you stay up, you could then hold onto the case and remain floating for a very…

Hot damn! That’s amazing, I can’t wait to check them out.

That one’s great too! Makes it much more travel focused.

Edit: One more thing, it’s plenty strong enough to be used as an impromptu: seat, step-stool, or footrest, which is great for travel!

I agree, I’ve checked it, thrown it in the back of pickup trucks, knocked it down a flight of stairs, and even used it as a makeshift rest for my rifle. It’s got downsides yes, but it’s really a buy it once and never think about needing to replace it ever again kind of purchase.

you just made me cringe...

Oh my god the Texas overpasses... I’m always amazed by their scale...

I inexplicably want this now. Thanks...

A little bit more than that actually, 98.4252 feet to be exact. That thing is about 9.3% longer than you even imagined it to be. It’s massive. Consider that full size Semi Trailers are only 53 feet...

Gotta be that head injury of yours..
