many civilian AR's have higher quality barrels, better BCG's, real handguards, etc to make them superior to milspec
the difference between an M16A4 which is fired in semi auto 99.9% of the time, and an AR-15 bought from a quality manufacturer is basically 0

When both are fired semi auto? Agreed there is virtually no difference. The difference is with full auto fire.

No, the military is the M-16. It’s cabable of switch firing. Burst, semi, full. Then you also have like the m4 assault rifle.

The difference of legality is the full auto. You can’t have fully automatic fire.

The AR-15 mostly uses parts that are interchangeable with the M16/M4's but there are a few that are different.

You are clueless. Continue on with your fear of guns that look military.okay dude, when one is made to milspec and has selective fire, but otherwise has 99% parts and function commonality, you just look dumb trying to insist they're TOTALLY DIFFERENT GUISE HURRRRR
AK's are not superior anyways, that's a ridiculous assertion and shows what you truly know about both platforms..
the accuracy, function, feel, and use of an AR, M16, M4, whatever variation you want to pick is ridiculously superior to the Mini 14, aty weapon made by a

Arm the teachers, right. Better find some cops that don't hide like a p* first.

That's why there's a question mark at the end of the sentence. After the discussion I'm still not seeing the distinction. Sounds like the M16 is just a better version of an AR-15, but they're pretty similar at their core.
sure you can! $200 tax stamp
you can shoot a .22 out of an AR barrel

The United States Army disagrees with you and your 2 guys who don't have a clue what they are talking about. When I was drafted in 1968 it was literally pounded into your head that you MUST keep your M-16 clean or it would likely malfunction. The first M-16 I was issued in Vietnam failed the first time I used it. Thank God it was just a test and not the real thing. Believe me that isn't a warm and fuzzy feeling having a non-functioning weapon. I hated those early M-16's so much I switched to an M-79 grenade launcher.

The early M16's definitely had teething problems. A lot of it was them changing the powder in the ammo (to save money). Plus they didn't stress how much difference dirt makes. They later added the forward assist for a reason. I never used the first generation of M16's but did use M16A1 and the forward assist made a difference.

How fast will a civilian model overheat on full auto? Assuming an active shooter knows enough to convert it to full auto fire and gets the better parts commercially available. In a typical 3-5 minutes of a shooting rampage is there a real difference?

what fear of guns are you talking about? i've shot all my life, including 3-gun; i love my AR and would oppose any attempt to ban it, but the fact is when you make the argument the AR and M16 are totally different, you're being disingenuous, overly semantic, and willfully ignoring the real discussion at hand
yeah i mean considering the US army has a long history of being pants-on-head retarded, especially regarding small arms, i'm not too concerned with what they thought of their colossal
up regarding the introduction of the M16you have that backwards actually
