    That would be the mother****er of all myths:

    You're in charge because you're smart.

    The history of the entire human race has proven this very much not to be the case.

    This practice was officially encouraged all the way back in the 1960s back when the 20rd magazine was standard. It seems that some folks managed to stuff 21rds into their magazines. By fully loading and then stripping out two rounds, you could guarantee that the magazine was not overloaded.

    The opposite of this is the competent, experienced, and able leader (there actually are some around you know) who knows what he is doing and is challenged everyday by the subordinate who knows more than anybody else, or at least thay think they do.

    In my case it's 35 years in the fire service, and I actually know what I'm doing and what my subordinates need to do/know.

    I just remembered another real gem.

    Formal training with an AR makes you more dangerous and you will go to jail for it if you use your AR after training.

    "It's called a 'Belly Gun' because with it's short barrel, it's accuracy is so poor that you have to poke the muzzle in the belly so you don't miss"

    what are you guys talking about? everything on the internet is factual, accurate and based purely on personal first hand experience and not the least bit on 2nd, 3rd or 4th hand information and rumor.

    I'm not sure if it could be considered a myth exactly, but it's about an AR, and it's definitely bullshit:

    I was at a show this past weekend. Somebody was at the J&T tables, checking out some uppers that had fancy stainless barrels and spiral fluting. He asked about the fluting - a guy told him that it "enhanced the barrel's rifling".

    WTF, over?!?
