I don't know if JZ spent anytime in the military, but when I had to give up my M14 for a POS M16 in the Marines. I was totally dismayed. Those M16 were the cause of many Marine deaths in Vietnam. I shot well with the M14 (expert) but when shooting the M16 a man size target at 200 yards was safe. The M16 would lock up, they sounded like they were breaking each time you pulled the trigger. My opinion of AR15's was similar to JZ's. They were trash, total junk. They made a lot of noise but were useless beyond spraying the undergrowth. I owned a mini-14 for years and would have nothing to do with AR-15's.
40 out of my platoon of 80 were killed in the first two weeks in Vietnam. I blamed the worthless POS M16.
But that's my experience.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally
