I never want to hear anyone say the forward assist is useless ever again!

Kyle Rittenhouse just said live on the Tucker Carlson show that he saw his AR was out of battery and hit the forward assist right before he shot Gage Grosskreutz.

Saw that. Amazing how well he did under pressure.

Haha, no time for SPORTS (anyone remember that acronym?). He went straight to the "T" part!

I am neither pro nor con on the use of the forward assist and other instructors I work with have varied opinions on the subject. I cannot ignore the fact that someone successfully used the forward assist under pressure and survived the encounter.

If he had not noticed the bolt of battery and hit the FA unicep POS would have shot him in the face.

I wonder what caused the malfunction, I'm thinking underlubbed POS rifle but might it have occured as a result of the struggle with skateboard guy.

While that may in fact be true in some circumstances, forcing a round into the chamber has never been one of the things I would partake in. Yeah, I guess in a "right-freaking-now!" situation it could be plausible, but instinct and decades of gun handling have instilled in me a sense of finding out what the issue is when encountering such a stoppage.

YMMV

BTDT.

I took a class with a famous tier one guy. He stated that they would press check under NODs on approach and didn’t want to risk the sound of a whole team dropping bolts. They would feel the round on the bolt, ease the charge handle into battery then use the FA. Very niche use but it isn’t expensive.
