Rittenhouse trial

[Neveragain]

None of my AR's have an ejection port cover or forward assist, I am not humping through the 'Nam or the Sandpit so don't really need it, plus I just think it looks a lot cleaner. But you're right, if it has it then it should be closed until you cycle the bolt.

But hey, give him credit, at least the bolt is forward.

Hm, I always thought forward assists was standard on the AR. Never could afford an AR, so I went with the mini-14.

[Neveragain]

I always had a sort of nervous tick where I always checked my ejection port cover over and over.

It is because right before this he had someone clear it, likely because he had no idea how. The way he was talking about the ammo and all that leads me to believe he learned everything from movies.

He is sitting there acting like FMJ isn't the standard ammo that is available for ARs. And then he is all "It goes through vests!" Well yeah, all rifles do. Soft armor is only made to stop pistols.

I'm pretty sure he knew what full metal jacket is, it just sounds scary.

Forward assists were added with the shittier M16s of the vietnam era. You don't really need them as much anymore. I can count on one hand how many times I've ever used it through the thousands upon thousands of rounds I've fired, and that was generally only when I had an A2. Never had to use it on my A4.

I always thought it was crazy that they issued a rifle that needed that shit. I know when my dad went into basic they were still training with the M1, never even held an m16 until they were shipped over.

Vietnam was fucking stupid.

So, the creator of the rifle didn't think they did. The Army said they did. So he caved and put it on the M16A1.

Although I do take it back, I did use it a lo when I'd pull back the bolt just enough to observe the chamber and see if a round was in. I'd hit the bolt assist to get it back forward.

Fucking liberals...

No wonder you are so scared of guns.. you don't know how to even hold one.

And of course his fucking finger is on the trigger. This prosecutor is a menace to society.

[Tgo01]

Also by his logic everyone in the courtroom now has the right to mob and beat him to death for holding a rifle

And even if he runs towards police to turn himself in the mob can continue to chase him and beat him because they are “stopping an active shooter.”

If anyone on the jury actually buys his lame arguments then they deserve jail time.

Probably a good investment now, mini-14's have really appreciated in value.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

After I posted I was looking at the picture again and realized that the rifle does not have any sights on it. I wonder if they removed whatever was on there for some reason or of the kid is good enough to shoot without sights.

The Hero of Kenosha needs no sights

I got it new back in the late 90's so it doesn't have the cheap ass plastic shit. I've put thousands of rounds through it and it's never jammed once. They are a pretty solid gun for the price.
