I bet he was this close to saying: "Back in mah day, we had to tie rocks to our barrels to counter the recoil!" or something equal crazy.To reiterate , that's the complaint.
However being forced to exercise with an M1 Garand is not fun. Back when I was in Boot Camp Sailors carrried those guns as the Company's weapon.I don't know, I almost feel like the point he's trying to make is like he thinks the light recoil makes it more horrible somehow because it supposedly fires a giant murder bullet or something like that. Keep in mind that .223 is much smaller than what was considered a "full caliber" military round for both World Wars, which for the US was .30-06, yet you hardly see these types ranting about how horrible murder machine the Garand is. Actually you can hilariously see them feature it as a "hunting rifle" in comparison to the "weapons of war" that are the so-called "assault weapons."

M4 has little recoil. Just a little bit. The recoil doesn't mess up your shot unless you met it. It only goes straight back
Assessing a threat is not really that hard. I have had to do it from time to time when people came on to my property and properties I was guarding.The issue is you never know who is there because they need help or because they want to do you harm
Especially in Arizona
NY times has spoken...... ?... They objectively are? Seriously. Look it up. The amount of Cartel killings of Americans in America is really freaking small, and gets even smaller if you exclude other cartel members (who aren't American usually).
Look at this one maybe exception that proves the rule:

A Mass Shooting in California Targeted an Entire Family (Published 2023)
Amid an escalation in gang violence in small California towns, families have usually been spared. But gangs there are increasingly working with violent Mexican cartels.www.nytimes.com
So maybe, just maybe, read a little before spouting claims of knowledge in things you haven't read about.
THIS IS NOT A GUN CONTROL THREAD!
This is a thread for discussion about GUNS! Firearms! slug throwers! fire sticks! HOT LEAD AND CORDITE!
What you own, what you want, what you hate, why your opinion is best and should be listened to!
TRY and keep it to real guns, M'kay? But if the urge to DAKKA comes... well... you know what to do.
Pictures. We want gun porn.
Videos? Sure! Some people like to watch, you know...
First, we must be blessed by the Patron Saint of the Holey Boomstick.

"Twelve Gauge. Who wants some? A-men"
To start:
Something Serious and Ridiculous.
A 9mm Gatling Gun, you say? Looks fun. ME WANT!
How can AK or AR bois even compete?
Something for the bullpup lovers with a tight budget and access to a 3D printer:
It does require a Foxtrot Mike side charging upper, but that's ~$600 or less with a complete upper and often a lower parts kit included. If you've already got a printer and the filament, I think the build cost comes out below $700.

The mil-spec requirement for the trigger pull on the M4A1 (military version of the civilian AR-15), taken directly from MIL-C-71186 states that the trigger pull weight shall be within the range of 5.5 to 8.5 pounds.
With that said, not all AR-15's use Mil-spec triggers and therefore can be as low as 2.5 pounds of trigger pull.

You know, with all the 3D printing shit going around, I'm surprised that mass-produced, viable firearms based on fictional firearms aren't more a thing e.g. a UNSC battle rifle, a GDI/Nod AR-70 Raptor, et cetera.
A lot of that is copyright/trademark stuff, plus the fact that making accurate receivers for these guns takes fucking forever with a 3D printer.You know, with all the 3D printing shit going around, I'm surprised that mass-produced, viable firearms based on fictional firearms aren't more a thing e.g. a UNSC battle rifle, a GDI/Nod AR-70 Raptor, et cetera.
Funny you should say that:The words ".308 caliber rifle" and "3D printed" shouldn't be used to describe the same object.
