[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1883633, member: 91783"] The AR15 was designed by Eugene Stoner for ArmaLite . It was designed to use a 55gr. bullet with powder supplied by Remington Arms . When it was first built it had a 1 in 14 twist in a 20 " barrel tighter tolerances , no forward assist and full auto select fire running 600 to 700 rounds per minute . The military had a surplus of powder so they wanted it used but it had a faster burn rate so after sustained fire some times it would try to eject a round that was still tight fitting in the chamber and pull the rim off the case while still in the chamber then try to feed another round in on top of the stuck case . During a fire fight soldiers would often not pay attention that they had emptied their mag on full auto .They didn't have 20 round mags issued to them at first but you only wanted to load 18 rounds at a time so they didn't want to try to feed 2 rounds at first because of spring tension being too great . So as time moved on the tolerances got looser they made it a 3 round burst at a time and started to issue 20 round mags . Still using a gas operating system they get dirty and hot in the bolt carrier group area with sustained fire but all in all they do well these days . now they have a faster twist rate and run heaver bullets then the 55gr. they have shorter barrels better hand guards free floated barrels a place to mount optics limited round bursts and much more . That sir is why some people still chose a bolt gun . Bolt rifles when cleaned and lubed properly can be operated quit fast and if you have practiced with their use you don't have to raise you head to chamber another round they won't load as fast as an auto loader but I have taken several doubles with one . I personally run a right hand bolt shooting with my left hand and only have to move my right hand to chamber a new round . [/QUOTE]
