ITT: Guns that make you E R E C T

Why didn't they use this in Vietnam instead of the M16A1? I know with early designs in the mid to late 50s they had trouble with them but by the time the search for a new rifle came about in the mid 60s I am going to assume it was closer to being perfected.

It won't take a Armalight lower but some Anons suggested it may work with the older DPMS rifles. Eventually I want to have a proper copy of the original lower made.

Armalite was late getting the rifle to the evaluation competition, and then the barrel blowed up, just like Stoner told the project manager it would.

Because the M16A1 is capable of accurate automatic fire, and this glorified M14 isn't.

military higher ups had a raging boner for the M14 until they found out it fucking sucks as a standard infantry rifle. The original AR-10 actually preformed fantastically but had a barrel blow out after some insane torture testing, giving the aforementioned armchair generals an excuse to ditch it.

>implying conscripts didn't just hipfire magdump into the brush with the M16 wasting bullets.

Or maybe it was the president of Armalite was the one that insisted they send it with the composite barrel... I'm not going to look it up
