AS A MARINE I DISAGREE GunBugBit, Just kidding. Marines are more indoctrinated and proud of it, to a point, but we can also take jokes, you just have to dumb them down. However the article is an opinion not a study. Does adding a Piston make a AR better? no. Does changing the whole platform work? not really. The AR platform is one of the most versatile platforms around, and because of that you will see it on the battlefield in some form or another on any foreseeable battlefield of the future. The reports from Afghanistan have already been questioned. The Army/DOD can do certain things to help the longevity of the platform but won't because it costs too much money, I can think of slipping Hoppe's 9 cleaner into the Armory to clean my weapon when all that they would allow was CLP, and Slip2000 and others found its way on to the range I coached Marines at quite a bit. These are little things but have proven themselves over time.
I perfer black coffee in the morning, bourbon in evenings and spending money on sh*t I probably don't need.
