I'm thinking of getting one, I've herd they are different and I've herd they are the same. is that true /k/omrades?

One is a military style assault weapon that shouldn't be on the streets in civilian hands, and only in the hands of the LEOs and Military
is the top one a famas, it sure has a big clip
>>31528425
Do they look the same?
i'm talking performance btw
>>31528425
The top one is Harmless and pretty handy game getter, its Ubiquitous like a 10/22 everyone should have one.
The bottom one is the Spawn of Satan and was designed and conceived to kill babies of any Species, Pandas, Doves, Deer, Hamas, PLO Etc.
Anyone who has the bottom Rifle in their possession is clearly Intent on reaping maximum carnage at will and is either a Psychopath or Law enforcement or Military.

Just get the fucking ar OP. I own both, and if i had to grab one it wouldn't be the mini-14.

Ok, so you're getting memed to death.
Yes, they are clearly different designs. They are both the same caliber and both use detachable mags. This makes them similar functionally on a baseline.
ARs have the advantage of more widespread magazines and more variety in aftermarket parts. The widespread availability of flattop ARs makes attaching optics much easier. The ability to swap uppers on ARs means switching barrel lengths or pre-zeroed optics is easier and makes them cost effective.
As a side note Bill Ruger was a douche.

You are Clearly a Child.
I own both and a mini 30 And if I hear Bumpty bumps in the night my mini 30 is my Go to Gun otherwise my Mossberg 500 obviously backed up by either a 1911 or Para Ordnance.
I am older and wiser however and live in a rural setting with no neighbors I don't have to worry about Over penetration.
Someone post the mini 14 picture guide

One has a pistol grip and rails, the other has a traditional stock and no rails.
Go with the one that feels better in your hands. Mini-14 will literally never be banned in its stock configuration anywhere.
>>31528425
the bottom one is more mechanically sound and spare parts are easier to find, as well as magazines. the top one is a california meme
>>31529137
You also apparently have no worry about extreme permanent haring damage. Or do you plan to put in ear pro before you go chasing the bumpity bumps you hear at night?

That shit isn't funny, they are literally pushing for it.
>>31529254
They are trying
Currently ar15s are legal with a grip wrap and it bugs the ever living shit out of them.

One is good fer huntin' durr. The other is an assault rifle that ain't powerful enough to kill a durr but will also blow all the meat of the bones at the same time.

>haring damage
Nah AIDS is no longer a death sentence

>my go to guns are a mini-30, mosberg 500, 1911 or para ordinance
Holy shit the memes write themselves now. This is the perfect mini owner stereotype.
