What calibers is / is going to be available in? And when?

[youngsoldier93]

[adivorcedsin]

So happy this isn't another airsoft video.

[carmas54]

IS the firing pin the same ...interchangeable to AR15's?

[GunBlogger]

@carmas54

No it is not.

[carmas54]

what's the bar code sticker for?

[jlc2100]

IN THE military do you have to use the standard rifle (m4) or can you buy your own?

[cpljosh]

@jlc2100

you have to use issued firearms, depending on your branch and job you will be lucky to have an m4. i saw marine logistics carry m16-A2s in iraq with iron sight a couple years ago. It's lame but it ensures interchangeability and enforces use of standard NATO ammunition. besides if you carry a personal and it fails you then no life insurance

[jlc2100]

@cpljosh thanks

[TheSavage169]

all of COD nerd players just know its called ACR

[TaZ101SAGA]

[TaZ101SAGA]

Such a beautiful weapon

[JoshRaptor215]

You sir, have made me jealous!

hahaha, have a good one!

[Cfreedom45]

What would you say about this gun.Is it worth the money that someone would invest in?

[omfg191]

Would you say it's worth the $3k price tag? It's one of the most expensive production guns I've seen.

[laxhitman19]

@omfg191 i dont know where you get the price tag, around me i can get it for 2k

[omfg191]

@laxhitman19

I got the prices from MSRP, it's not really a good representation of the price.

[GirlsGamesGunsGuitar]

More Cake Please!

[TaZ101SAGA]

Great review mate.

[acr1980]

In comparison to an AR, how would you rate it's accuracy, felt recoil, trigger pull and weight?

[AnnhilationNation]

Left hand configuration, please thanks haha

[2012FutureMarine]

Great review, This gun was so simple I didn't even have to teach my 5 year old cousin how to use it.(Hes shot AR-15s before)

[lyons5507]

[MpowerdAPE]

screwed up camera angle, terrible lighting

[m16mang]

@MpowerdAPE Hah, you're just jealous that he owns a Bushmaster ACR and you don't. You little pussy.

[MpowerdAPE]

@m16mang that too.

[1996gamo]

does it come with the caliber changes and barrels

[RawDawg3Delta]

Is the Flash hider the same as the standard AR15 flash hider? Same Threading?

[GunBlogger]

@RawDawg3Delta I believe it is the 1/2x28 threading, and it is a standard A2 birdcage.

[naruto977345123]

i want to buy the enhanced model

[boricuaDV]

Just wanted to add that there's lots of good info here. I applaud you for being one of the first to get this info out there. Video trumps a pictorial-writeup anyday!

[GunBlogger]

@boricuaDV Thanks boricua!!! I just got down shooting the range footage for the range review video due out this week. Hope you stay tuned to watch the follow up!

[boricuaDV]

Few, if any, would deny that this is a very forward-thinking rifle design. The biggest drawback is the huge price tag. It now has to compete against a host of other top shelf piston systems (including exotics), and that's a tough playing field to compete in for any newcomer design. To put it into perspective, the basic ACR costs more than my completed scoped, DMR style M1A. The result is that only the real afficionados will even consider this poodle shooter, whereas if it were $1500 - $1600...

[PDBreske]

Whoa, wait a second. Unless I'm completely misinformed, the ACR bolt catch is NOT like the Magpul BAD lever at all. As I understand it, the ACR catch slides up and down, similar to the Robinson XCR. So similar, in fact, that Robinson has filed suit against Bushmaster and a host of other manufacturers for ripping off this patented bolt catch design. The BAD lever is pushed to the side to basically actuate the standard bolt catch of a AR15/M4 design.

[GunBlogger]

@PDBreske You're absolutely right considering the mechanical operation of the mechanism and the developmental history of the rifle. However, I was just trying to emphasize the application of Magpul's philosophy considering the placement and purpose of function of that part. Thanks for the comment.
