    I have broken at least two ACOGs, but never a weapon part.
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    Maybe some springs, I've had disconnector springs go soft on me once in awhile.

    Maybe so but by far the selection will be mostly from Bushmaster's and DPMS's

    Where? when?
    I thought the point was not fantasy combat SHTF zombie BS,
    I think the Battlefield pick up is a thing of the past with modern procedures.

    Heck, even the term "battlefield" is going the way of the dodo.

    For me, the worst case scenario is I lose a small part like a detent, spring, or pin. A sandwich bag of spares helps keep the issue to a minimum.

    I keep some spare extractors, spare bolts with extractors, firing pins. Bolt is going to take the most beating.

    On this point I would add if something were to go down I fear we'd have a bunch of paranoid lone wolves running around shooting at everything that moves...just sayin' As to parts breakage..bolt, LPK, gas rings (the only thing I've ever had to replace) and maybe a spare firing pin
