    That is because it sits above the lower receiver. However Colt guns with the milled wall like LE6920, AR6520, etc. work just fine.
    That's it. Colt went full mongoloid on this ass ache. S.A.W. milled this flat in an HBAR Pappabear owns. He had it done so the real Bolt Carrier could be used.

    I like the mantis app, but the lack of recoil kinda kills it for me. I prefer laserammo. I have the glcok 19 and ar15. weight is very close to the real thing and I replaced the grip and stock with magpul and it mimics my 11.5" BCM in length and weight and has the added bonus of pretty good recoil. In addition to their imtts targets I setup a bunch of small reflective survey targets around the house and larping has never been the same. Can even practice reloads since the gas is in the magazine.

    ETA: I'm currently experimenting with adding an airsoft surefire socom mini to full replicate my real deal setup. If I can make that work I'll be really happy!

    Weaponeer may be what a couple of you guys have described.

    Tried one at a National Guard/Army Reserve recruiting booth that was using an M16A1(or M16?) but not an A2 like in the picture.

    The rod in the muzzle provided recoil so(once again, iirc) you were limited to supported positions and the graphics were Commodore 64 level(and may have been a 64).

    One of the marksmanship manuals has details on setup and how the recoil could be adjusted from 0% to over 100% of a real lice rifle and there was a set of headphones to simulate the sound of a shot too

    I have had one for awhile. It was unused in the safe and battery died. 5 days on the charger and it's up to 2 (out of four) bars. The trigger cycle will work but the laser is on all the time. So it acts like a NGAL stuck on.
    It has its place but I am not using it any longer.

    There is a setting for constant on so you can zero your stuff. You slide that tab and the laser only comes on when you pull the trigger.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    Thank you. It's been so long since I used it that I forgot about the switch. I don't know how/why it got switched back to steady. It's such a small recessed switch that it's not going to happen accidentally.
