I like having it. It doesn't hurt anything being on there.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style.

I used one a few times during my 27 year Army career. I was really glad to have it too!

Yeah, I just watched that interview. Confirms what I have always felt. They are there for a reason.

Absent the FA, Kyle would have used the charging handle and been in business as quickly. Had the FA failed to remedy, he still might have had time to recharge.
Had the FA worsened the stoppage we'd likely know what Biceps Boy intended to do.
Again, not knocking the FA for all situations. But the question lacks a one-size-fits-all answer.

If I were to have an AR again, it definitely would have the forward assist. But I doubt I'll get one again.

The fact that Kyle noticed that and took remedial action makes me even more impressed by him.

No kidding
Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.
Rehabilitation is way overrated.
