Sure. As soon as you acknowledge that you were dead wrong on the fact that I sell piston operated weapons (which you never did even when I posted links). When you are wrong, man up and take your medicine!
Then please tell me that you did not mount one scope ring on your rail and the other on your receiver of your AR!
Working down the list, is the sling on your AUG the carry strap from the AUG case???
Ugh.

I agree that there are plenty of myths out there that perpetuate the gun world, myths that exaggerate either a weakness or strength (.50 cal projectiles tear off arms with near misses, anyone?).
And I agree that People should base their decisions on facts. However, some myths are hard to kill; they just won't die. It's like they have become so ingrained in people's minds no amount of fact will change it.
Even today, after 12 years of shooting bad guys with 5.56 in Afghanistan, people in our military still cling on to the wound characterstic given to the 5.56 decades ago;
"If you hit a guy in the leg, and the bullet strikes the femur, the bullet's axis of travel would change, and it would start to travel along the femur up into the pelvis, then the abdomen, the chest cavity and then exit from the shoulder."
I mean, how hard are human bones!? Seriously, people still state this crap.
I have done tons of instruction on how to treat GSW's, and I would always show terminal ballistic graphics, and show the students pictures of GSWs to illustrate how a wound can look. For some of the training, we would also shoot tissue to demonstrate. People still think that 5.56 pokes tiny holes, and that 7.62 vaporizes people....until I explain it of course, and they see it in real life.
One thing I have learned is that delivery matters; patient mentoring is better than abrupt schooling. Especially with professionals who are starting to gain some confidence in their abilities and knowledge.
It's not about surviving, it's about winning!
You got it... but I was specifying the weapons used in the Army test=C4IGrant;1730673]Sure. As soon as you acknowledge that you were dead wrong on the fact that I sell piston operated weapons (which you never did even when I posted links). When you are wrong, man up and take your medicine!
...but you do sell one.. The HK. So i was wrong. To top it off it was an example used in a hypothetical situation I was using to point out the condescending manner you were using to discredit my choice of weapon. But really it all makes more sense now.
Ok. I didnt. Take a close look. Or have you already decided that it is? Its a one piece by the wayThen please tell me that you did not mount one scope ring on your rail and the other on your receiver of your AR!
I rarely use it being an HD/vehicle rifle... no humping and carrying. I figured it wasn't a pressing need. Is the strap really that big a deal for you?Working down the list, is the sling on your AUG the carry strap from the AUG case???

At the moment it is a lead free round made by Nammo, called NM255. It is actually pretty good, both accuracy-wise and wrt terminal ballistics. 62 grain projectile. Before that we had another type of lead free round, the NM229, but it was over pressured, tearing up guns as well as making guys sick due to high density of heavy metal particles in the air after shooting.
I think our SOF guys used M855, until they switched to a heavier weight bullet version of our current ammo, I think 70 grain.

LOL Army test?? Which one? Big ARMY? Small Army? Which test? Last years? This years?? Gotta be more specific.
If you say so, but it is one hell of an optical illusion.Ok. I didnt. Take a close look. Or have you already decided that it is?
It is questionable whether a long gun needs a sling for HD or vehicle work (agree). Most will rubber band one to the side so it is not in the way (if at all).I rarely use it being an HD/vehicle rifle... no humping and carrying. I figured it wasn't a pressing need. Is the strap really that big a deal for you?
Question though, when you ran your AUG through shoot house training, did you not have a sling on your gun or did you use the one in the pic?
Its your gun, but I would NEVER let a gun (that I liked) be held up with a cheap ass, Chinese made hook that is just waiting to break.
YMMV.
