What's so wrong with the ACR?

>>33355673
No aftermarket, no alternative calibers, fairly heavy, barely any customizability, low ability to tailor ergonomics to personal taste, etc. It isn't an overall improvement on an ar. It's worse in quite a few ways.

>>33355673
Bushmaster promised aftermarket support with caliber conversions and different length barrels, and all sorts of customization when it first released, but they pretty much abandoned the platform, so all the poor SOB's that bought these things right away with the intention of being able to swap calibers easily got fucked over pretty hard. Pretty much all the hype around the gun is dead now, and it only took them 9 years or so to finally show some progress being made on different barrel lengths for it at this years shot show. I would love to own one of these in 6.8 if they ever actually fucking released the caliber conversions, but with the way Bushmaster has treated the thing for all these years, I don't trust them at all and would rather spend my money elsewhere.

It's a good rifle, but it's not what we were told it was going to be.

I still remember watching a tv show were they used one in 7.62x39 with different barrel lengths and we're talking about how good it would be for SOF units. Reality hit a few years later.

So basically it's not what it was promised to be and it's somewhat on the heavy side?

>>33355673
What's wrong is that Bushmaster built a rifle sharing the ergonomics and modularity of the AR-15 and the rock-solid operating system of the AK, promptly generated an exorbitant amount of hype with their advertising and promises on providing a wide array of modification options for every single "hot" caliber out there, then told everyone to fuck off a few years later, there's no custom parts and shit here, if you want that buy a goddamn AR-15.

Seriously, there's more aftermarket parts for a fucking Carcano rifle than for the ACR.

Don't forget the like 4 barrel lengths they promised.

>released none of the mods they promised
>bushmaster quality
>1:9 twist
>8 lbs unloaded with a 16" barrel
>M4 profile barrel
>non-reciprocating charging handle
>retarded msrp
It'd be easier to list what they got right with the damn thing.

Nothing at all with the newer models, I love mine

Inferior to the Scar

>>33355938
Given the heavier front end does it have much drag transitioning between targets?

>>33355673
Its gay and only call of duty players like it.

Not that I can tell. Like I said I love this rifle and plan to SBR with a 1:7 barrel

You put the nail in the coffin. I'm buying one because of you. Congrats.

Ur gay

Because fucking Remington:
>Fucking Remington manufacture.
>Fucking Remington fucking it up.
>Fucking Remington not delivering on the promised caliber conversions.
>Fucking Remington removing the caliber conversion feature when doing fucking warranty work to fix the problems they fucking caused.
>Fucking Remington charging out the ass for their abortion

Basically, the ACR is fundamentally a good concept, but the problem is fucking Remington.
I hope they go out of business so the ACR becomes public domain.

>>33355673
>improvement over an AR
If you think a piston and a folding stock is vital, lol.

It's a good design but the AR is king for a reason.

>>33355673
The ACR itself is good, it's the absolute fucking it's gotten over the years from shit manufacturers that makes it a bad deal.

>>33355863
>ACR
>rock-solid operating system of the AK
The ACR has a short-stroke gas piston and it is a derivative of the AR-18.
