I think I said a military style assault rifle. Fires the same round 5.56. Biggest difference is the civilian model is semi auto while the military model has 3 round burst. Don't think I ever used burst except when firing blanks. In basic training we had the older M 16 that were full auto. Had us load a 3 round magazine and fire on full auto to demonstrate that your first round was on target but the next two climb out of the paper.
Which isn't what Kyle had.
Okay, he had a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 5.56 mm rifle with a 30 round magazine used for civilian and police. Classified as an AR 15 style rifle. Does that matter?
Yeah, it kinda does. You keep stating that he went there with a "military assault rifle". Which is a lie.
Lady I know a little bit about weapons having served for 22 years. Now if we were talking about Barbie dolls, I am sure you would be the subject matter expert.
Definitely only a little.
Not to the person that was killed by either one. Tell me what is the difference? I know the military have specs that the civilian models do not. Maybe not as rugged but most civilian active shooters are only going to fire a few hundred rounds or like Kyle 8 rounds to kill 2 people and wound another.
Then why do you feel the need to keep lying about and hyperbolizing what Kyle was carrying?
I realize you have been out of uniform for a few years but for the last 30 years M 16 do not have full auto. Only 3 round burst. Also the Army has gone to the M 4 . More of a carbine with a shorter barrel and a collapsible butt stock. More like the weapon that Kyle used to kill those 2 people. Don't need full auto to kill a lot of people.
Good question, expect no answer.
Where am I hyperbolizing? He used an AR 15 style rifle to kill those 2 men.
Stupid question but I will answer.
The floor is yours.
Now it's an AR15 style rifle. Before it was a military assault rifle.
