From No AR to Two ARs - Defensive Carry
网页2024年5月22日 · For the longest time I have resisted getting an AR-15. All I do is shoot at my gun club, and the rifles I had were sufficient and, in fact, some of them were only shot every now and then.

5.56/.223 penetration through brush? - Defensive Carry
网页2011年1月13日 · a. 5.56 - poor performance in the "brush". Deflection was a factor but it's failure to penetrate ( limited to LIGHT cover, Med - Heavy = nope. b. 30 cal. carbine - fair performance in med. brush, but deteriorated over distance. a. 5.56 ( based on the "new" ammo avail.) - fairly good up to heavy brush, then iffy.

FN Scar16 vs. Masada ACR- Which one excels? - Defensive Carry
网页2012年2月22日 · For 5.56, I'd just stick with the AR platform unless you just must have a piston gun, one of the features of either rifles is a must have, or you just have money to play with Otherwise, if you want a SCAR, I'd get the SCAR 17 in 7.62x51 over the 16 in 5.56, because like I said, I'd stick with the AR platform for 5.56, but maybe that's just me ...
How far would a 5.56 round travel - Defensive Carry
网页2014年11月21日 · Assuming no mountains in your way of course. Wait, I see you are in Florida. Disregard my mountain comment. I don't know about your rifle but for the M16-A2 the max effective range for a point target is 550m, area 800m and max range is 3600m. Obviously that is with the 5.56 round.

The twist rate for the first few decades of the AR15/M16 rifles' existance was not 1 in 7 but rather 1 in 12. When the 55 grain loadings began to ...
