Military M4 vs High End Civilian AR15

[@adammorgan7874]

My first AR I bought I was 19 and broke, I spent every dollar I had saved on it and the old man at the gun shop told me have fun, I laughed and said I’ll have fun next weekend when I get my next check. He gave me a box of 20 rounds so I could shoot it. I’ll never forget that old man and sad to say he’s passed since then.

lowest bidder that will meet the specs, there's a difference. you can get some really shitty civilian weapons. more options than military but wider range (in both directions)

[@pleasetredonme]

Specs are not set very high. and often compromised for the budget. Also, the supplier's production capability (which often just translate to their bidding price) plays a giant role too. Say, Peter from buttfuck nowhere makes hell of a rifle for a good price, but can only produce few rifles a day. He can't supply millions unit for the military.

[@GryphonArmorer]

I trained with the M16-A2 service rifle, no optics. Even though it had a three round burst selection, we were told, “NEVER use it, it’s a waste of ammo”. Ammo goes a lot further when you train for “one shot, one kill”, if it takes more than one, at least they are all on target, where you want it to hit.

Same, except they said it ruins the gun over time. But they also said, "if you NEED three round burst, then who cares about the gun..." i.e., rough situation

Like, if combat happens, unless the military is put on the retreat, they'll go and grab the weapons of even the enemy in order to avoid those guns being used again by the enemy.

@@Unreelme Full autos did not get restricted in the 1986 agreement. They were already subject to the NFA act of 1934. The only thing the 1986 deal did was to ban any new production of full autos for the civilian market. This did make the price skyrocket but what we go in return was vital and the NRA was looking far into the future. The major piece of legislation we got was that was making it illegal for the government to form and keep a gun database. That is a big deal and the full auto market was very small back then so it seemed to be a small give up at the time.

As a Marine combat vet my perspective is a bit different. Just for the record I was also on the 1st Marine Division Rifle-Pistol Team and after leaving active duty I competed for a few years in USPSA/IPSC. I can see that you also appear to be a competition shooter; probably much better than me. Given my experience in both areas, I see combat and competition as significantly different. Although competition shooting, especially CQC multi-gun competition, is excellent training for combat, as a sport it becomes so specialized that it leaves the realm of what Jeff Cooper would call “practical shooting” and becomes divorced from the real combat world, especially regarding the equipment. This is OK and fun to watch and do but is about as useful in real combat as Call of Duty. For example, for real combat there are factors considered in design that don’t appear in competition shooting. Such as extended fire-fights in full auto. We haven’t seen this much since WW2, Korea, and Vietnam but human wave attacks will once again become a reality if we find ourselves at war with China; something that is increasingly likely. In this situation reliability is paramount. Thus heavy barrels and highly durable military grade triggers. I know that it’s popular among gun store commandos to hang stuff on their rifles; rails, long hand-guards, lights, lasers, etc. Not me. Why? Basically because that stuff is heavy and in combat, weight is an important factor. One of the combat advantages of the M-4/M-16 is light weight, which makes it easier to carry and faster to point and shoot. In combat, a fraction of a second difference in bringing your rifle on target can mean life or death. A buddy was point man. He rounded a sharp bend on a narrow trail and found himself face-to-face with a bad guy carrying an AK-47 at high port. My Buddy was carrying his M-16 on a sling pointing forward. They were like six feet apart. He said for a fraction of a second that seemed longer they just looked at each other. Then the bad guy began to lower his AK but my buddy’s M-16 was already pointed at him, so he simply pulled the trigger. Point being that the fraction of a second difference saved his life. Personally, I don’t want any of that stuff. Give me a good reliable optic like an ACOG and that’s it. That said, I like Magpul furniture, including their slings. It’s light weight, high quality, and functional. Your “Gucci gun” is cool and terrific for competition but if I was going into combat, I would take the military grade rifle every time, which brings me to my perspective … combat and sports shooting are significantly different things with different considerations and risks. They should be prepared for differently. Choose the right tool for the job, so to speak. BTW, I enjoy your videos. They are informative and generally well done. I’m a gnarly old guy with a lot of trigger time. The problem with this is that as we get older we tend to develop opinions and sometimes attitudes that get rigid and not open to new ideas. I try to avoid that. Still, it’s difficult to ignore painful first-hand experience like combat. It’s one of those things that takes you back to the basics. Theory fades to black and necessity reigns. You shed the frills and accept your mortality. Things get real. I want my gear simple, fast, and fatal. I like my razor sharp Ka-Bar, not a pearl handled gold plated stiletto. I like a Glock 23 with a Trijicon RMR2 6.5moa; no fiddling … pull and shoot with both eyes open … great CQC. I carry a light but don’t want it on my pistol or rifle. It adds weight and makes me a target. NVG works. The only thing I want hanging on my rifle barrel is a suppressor. I’ll take extra ammo instead. Noise canceling headphones with amplification and comms. This is the short list.

[@wealllikeitsomilkit4301]

Military grade just means that it’s mediocre gun that’s gonna go bang when you pull trigger. The reason militaries don’t deck out their rifles is because most of it’s not really worth the extra cost. Your average grunt isn’t gonna be depending well time and well placed shots, most of combat for infantry nowadays is fire a few wounds towards where you think the enemy is or where you saw a brief muzzle flash and call in air support. Spending a extra $1000 on a slightly better gun isn’t gonna worth the trade off.

You would be surprised how wrong that is. When the enemy is far away, yes. But when troops take contact, they don’t have air support just hovering over them like a helicopter mom.

"ArmaLite Model 15, with engraved lettering ‘H&R Firearms General Motors Hydramatic’ In Roman." Bateman smiles bitterly. "Nice." Now a third Ranger pulls out his AR-15. It looks exactly like the first two, except it reads “Precision Industries FN Herstal Bushmaster.” "Raised lettering, pale nimbus." "Impressive", Bateman mutters. "Let's see Paul Allen's." The room falls silent as the third Ranger produces the absent soldier’s M-4. Bateman speaks in voiceover. "Look at that subtle coloring. The tasteful thickness." His face creases in horror.

In case anybody doesn't get it: Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller (June 26, 1898 - October 11, 1971) was a United States Marine Corps lieutenant general who, early in his military career, fought guerrillas in Haiti and Nicaragua in the 1920s and 1930s. In December 1928, Puller was assigned to the Nicaraguan National Guard detachment, where he was awarded his first Navy Cross for his actions from February 16 to August 19, 1930, when he led "five successive engagements against superior numbers of armed bandit forces." He returned stateside in July 1931 and completed the year-long Company Officers Course at Fort Benning, Georgia, thereafter returning to Nicaragua from September 20 to October 1, 1932, and was awarded a second Navy Cross. Puller led American Marines and Nicaraguan National Guardsmen into battle against Sandinista rebels in the last major engagement of the Sandino Rebellion near El Sauce on December 26, 1932. He later went on to serve with distinction in World War II and the Korean War. Puller is the most decorated Marine in American history. He is one of two U.S. servicemen awarded five Navy Crosses and one Army Distinguished Service Cross. Puller's five Crosses are next in number to the eight times Eddie Rickenbacker received the nation's second-highest military award for valor.

Great video. Folks should realize the the weapons that are standard issue to the troops are made to meet certain requirements, as detailed in the various military specifics. These requirements are developed to be "good enough" in terms of reliability, performance, accuracy etc. from the military program manager's perspective the added "gucci" stuff , higher grade triggers etc do not justify the increase cost for the standard issue weapon that gets delivered to tens of thousands troops. So the run of the mill standard issue weapon does a great job for what it is designed to do. Operators on the other hand may have different requirements. Manufacturers of weapons sold to civilians have a different motivation. Each looks to distinguish themselves in a more competitive environment. So that is why you see most weapons advertise as "Mil-Spec" which means while they meet the minimum requirements, they probably exceed those requirements in many different ways and add things not even mentions in the requirements. To me weapons are like tools. You pick the best tool for the need.

[@gregwhite5369]

So So many people who have no idea what mil spec is just want to bash the Govt. Wonder how all your Gucci stuff would fare in real life. Covered inside and out in fine sand. spent several hours under water. Is filled with mud inside and out. Hasn't been cleaned in several weeks because of non stop fighting and still sending bullets out after 60,000 rounds. I'll put your range queen up against my full mil spec Colt (manufactured in 2013 before they started subbing out parts) any day and come out more accurate. Heck I'll even put up my Colt against a current FN actual mil spec, not one of their military clones. For that matter my new CR6920 even with all it's subbed out parts puts 30 rounds in a 3" group at 200 yds with only the mechanical sights it came with. I've run through 300 rounds on the CR in under 3 mins. and the barrel can still be held without burning my hand. bet your range queen can't do that !

@@gregwhite5369 Considering military dudes like Garand Thumb and friends prefer gucci rifles for duty, because they aren't infantry and can choose their own loadout. I'd still say the gucci is fine. Firearms gucci is designed for high durability. Stuff like the scopes he reviews on these channels are built to be tossed, thrown, dropped and hit with debris. The fancy triggers are more precise but also less likely to gunk up and durable. Gun people, except fuds and soccer moms, rarely buy stuff that doesn't either remind them of being in the service or work well under adverse conditions. Most of these companies are ran by veterans or former leos who also happen to be enthusiasts for guns themselves.

[@gregwhite5369]

@@MilesTraveler I guess you didn't read my several replies. First I don't like this video because he takes a "Clone" of an M4 and compares it to a high priced AR 15, and then bashes the M4. Sorry but that's crap. It's like bashing the Military Humvee by using a civilian Humvee in the video. If your going to bash the Military M4 then use a Military M4 in the vid. Second all these Gucci AR's don't actually meet Mil Spec. When they label guns or parts as Mil Spec all they really mean is that you can interchange the parts with other rifles calling them selves Mil Spec. But hey if you or anyone wants to buy or make a Cucci rifle more power to you. But I'm not going to trust my life when do do hits the rotating blade to any rifle other than my actual Colt Mil Spec made for LE M4A1

As long as my AR-15's are reliable, that is all I care about. I don't compare military and civilian rifles, a good functioning rifle is what matters.

I used a colt m4 for 5 years in 2nd ranger battalion. The accuracy is unbelievably great. At 300m my groups were tight enough to fit in someone’s eye; and that was shooting off sandbags, boards, and backpacks. Mil spec triggers are better in combat. Your Blood pressure is through the roof in a gunfight and your trigger pull becomes much harder. A 3 pound trigger would be prone to jams if your targets are human beings shooting back at you. The slick triggers do well when it’s you vs cardboard.

Yup. People who have only ever shot at paper will never understand what happens; they think they will, but, when you're caught in a situation, you're not thinking at all because there's no time.
