The fuck are you talking about? Thank Congress
>>32539320
the A2 was a mistake though
what the fuck was the point of all the stupid changes to the sights? Not to mention the retarded barrel profile (literally a mistake by the engineers) and the stupid new pistol grip that only fits the hand of one marine officer.
>>32539320
The fucking A2 not the A1 idiot
>>32539476
>literally a mistake by the engineers
Not a mistake by the engineers, a mistake by dumbass military armorers
we've analyzed the available data and our actuarials have determined that this is the best option.
I liked it but I served with 180th trans so only shot it in combat for suppression
>>32539476
The sights are great, whats the problem?

>upgrade to a piece of shit to make it a piece of shit that kinda works
>it's the Marines fault for trying to fix something that they can't get rid of that's killing Marines.
Sure that's some great logic. Yeah I'm the fucking retard in this scenario.
The piece of shit was designed to operate with ammo that was too hard to source. Then the US government decided to source old ammo that made the special snowflake riffle cycle too fast. The M16 was a failed platform to begin with that was rushed to a war we had no business engaging with because of "muh commies are spreading everywhere".
Vietnam was a fucking mistake that the military industrial complex (that Eisenhower warned us about (and he despised Nixon)) caused. We sacrificed 10s of thousands of good service members in that fight. But yeah, it's the Marines fault that the M16A2 is a POS. Fuck off back to your arm chair.

Overly complex for no point, including an on the fly adjustment wheel that never gets used and is liable to get knocked out of place. A1 sights were fine.
Beyond that, stupid three round burst on a ratchet system so that it fucks up semi-auto fire as well.
Stupid pistol grip.
About the only improvement was the symmetrical hand guards for easier logistics.
Are there any modern ARs you asshats dont hate?
>>32539599
Boy you sure need to stop talking about some shit where all you know is dumb military moron memes.
>>32539599
A1 fixed pretty much all of your meme complaints. Your rant about the Vietnam war is off topic to the design of the rifle itself. The A2 was designed by the Marines who fucked it up with stupid backwards logic.
There's a really good old Arfcom thread where the guy who developed the A2 actually explains most of the changes and why they did or didn't work out.
The sights have some cool design ideas but nobody's trained to use them properly, for example.

you forgot fucklong stock that only fits giants

>About the only improvement was the symmetrical hand guards for easier logistics.
The reinforcement to the front take down holes and the buffer tube support thing (seriously, what's that called) were kind of nice, though probably of marginal benefit in the grand scheme of things.

A2 is the best looking.
Nothing can compare

shit taste
>>32538977
The A2 isn't even that bad.
The good:
Far better sights
1:7 twist
Shell deflector
Adding crome to the barrel and BCG
Stronger aluminum alloy for upper/lower
Stronger plastics used in the grips/stock/hand guards.
Better handguards.
Neutral:
Longer stock (bad for manlets)
Barrel profile could have been better.
But their original heavy barrel wouldn't allow a gernade launcher to be mounted.
Still stronger than the A1
Bad:
The Burst was hated by everyone
(They should have even training for semi auto fire anyways.)

Present in A1 and XM16E1.

This is just wrong and stupid. Kill yourself.
>Shitty, worthless barrel profile that's a detriment more than anything else
>Neutral
Once more, kill yourself.
>Still stronger than the A1
What the fuck does this even mean, and if you say anything about the lower reinforcement that solved an issue that was as imaginary as the A1 "barrel bending", I'm going to rape your dog.

A2's are aesthetic as fuck but fuck Delton for their shit ass chrome lining. look at this shit.
