What AR style battle rifle do you wish that you could take on deployment?
Rules are:
1. You are picking for reliability.
2. You have actual range time on some of these weapons.
3. The AO could be Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, etc.
4. Parts, mags, and ammo is abundant. So, don't decide based on that.
5. You get to keep this weapon when you retire, as a gift from the U.S.
Government for services rendered.
Also, I'm interested in the reasons why. So, many on here have a treasury of knowledge.
