Now that the military does a lot of close range fighting indoors and in towns, I wonder if there will be any gun innovations for better accuracy at short range.
@musicalgunnut45 its like putting a boby pin into that hole with the reset button inside of it,use a bullet or a nail or spair firing pin,anything that will fit inside the hole in the bullet button
@musicalgunnut45 there is a release sized shell sticking out from the reciever 1/8th in more than a release button and you have to either perform a take down and load the clip like you would a bolt rifle or stick a sharp object into the shell to make contact with and press down the actua
i have that target problem with my mosin, i shoot at the targets, and i thought i wasnt hitting anything, and i thought the gun was a piece or inaccurate shit, but upon closer inspection, i was going right through the targets with so little resistance, i couldnt knock the bowling pins off their pedestal!
The first mass produced M16 made before 1970 is a genuine piece of crap, the M16s made after 1970 are good, the A2 is the best version of it IMO. Ergonomics, accuracy, large amounts of ammo can be carried by the shooter himself, lightweight, bolt ends in open position are what I like about this rifle. I'm not a fan of .223 or 5.56mm though.
Hickok, I believe this rifle is an A1 with forward assist. Rear sight is not an A2 type...handguard appears to be round A2 but the stock also appears to be A1 vintage. Here is a link to a picture of an A2 upper receiver.
Bought my pre-ban Sporter Target model nib over 20 yrs ago. It still looks new despite the number of rounds through it. If I take it to a gun show I have to beat off the people who want to buy it. It is a great rifle, capable of hitting targets at 500 meters with iron sights. I notice yours has A1 rear sights.

I always wonder "Why are politicians thinking?!". I wonder who it was who said "Nahh, you dont need a cleaning kit" What in the world made them think that? And then nobody said anything about it
@141827099 there are two versions of the m16, m4 rifles the military 5.56x45 and the civilian .223. im not sure but u can shot a .223 in a 556x45 but its not that great, but u cant shot a 556x45 in a .223. U can buy both of them yhe sights should be the same as I said the major difference is the fire selector
@rammsteinlover1337 ok! thank you very much! I thought they used the same ammunition. and schemes are much like the truth! I acknowledge that only the AR-15 is shorter, but M4 too! thank you very much!
the forward assist basically is a button you push which drives the bolt forward if you have a bullet not wanting to chamber push the button and the bolt will seat properly and the bullet will be ready to fire
lol cause we all know the bayonet is the most dangerous part of the gun, you have a weapon that shoots lead projectiles but you cant put a 5in knife on the end of it because its so much more dangerous that the bullets lol, the stupidity of the people that make firearm regulations
Hi Again Hickok ! I am mostly a handgun guy as well, but with low interest rates at the bank I have began to invest in some long guns. I am in need of another gun safe. Do you have a particular safe you reccomend for both theft and fire resistance ? I realise that a determined thief is impossible to stop,but I would like to make things as difficult as possible. Thanks for sharing and for your time.
I would but I am only 17 and my dad would have to use my money to buy it. Plus my dad says he wants me to get a job first so it will be at least 3-4 months before i even start seriously looking at one.
Just for reference, the upper on that rifle is an A1 upper. The early colts from the transitional period came with A2 furniture and a variety of uppers, including the A1 like that one.
my brother bought a springfield m-15S, with a custom upper i am assuming is made from a civilian manufacturer, but it still has the all important bayonet lug.
we have no bayonet, or any animals big enough to use it on in california.
Wow, very nice. Your accuracy is amazing, i couldn't make out the gong in the far distance, i actually thought you were shooting at the closer one. Love your vids Hickock, the power and accuracy of the guns never ceases to amaze me.
i notice that you shot your ar-15 a2 until the barrel smoked. when i went to basic training we shot up to 90 rounds in our m16 a2s and they never smoked, and neither did our automatic weapons like the 240b and the 249 saw. i was wondering if that might have anything to do with the type of gun oil or any other type of cleaning soloution. thank your for reading this and i look forward to a response
Yo hickok I've noticed from this video and others the honda element and although I'm not personally a fan of anything that is foreign (glock,honda,toyota,ect.) I will say that I've heard from other they make okay products I for one have fired glocks and never had one jam. For a quality made pistol however that's not too impressive my s&w m&p has also never experienced a jam. So anyways grade A videos you just seem like more of a chevy man than honda.
@hickok45 hey hickok i have bin watching your videos for a few months now and i gotta hand it to you your a badass bro, but do you think you can do a video on the stag arms model 3? if so i would really appreciate it man thanks. Daniel Surprise AZ.
@l3tl3v My Dad's a cop, both my grandfathers, and even my great grandfather was a state trooper. My Dad recommend a shotgun for home defense, I chose a Mossberg 550 combat shotgun, no stock, pistol grip, 12 gauge of course, and a vented rib on top. I've got to admit though, that M4 looks bitchin' and I've fired the AR15, the lack of recoil is amazing.
hickok45 Sorry for the multiple post, but some people just don't get it. But moving on, that is a beautiful rifle you have. Remembering back to my grandpa that recently passed away, he bought his 3 sons Colt AR-15s back during the red scare, late . 60s or so. Those rifles still had the triangular hand guards on them as well. Anyways, love your videos, I always in some way come back to them. Keep making them, they keep me rather entertained.
@wcb67 So to answer your question in a final comment, it takes money, pure and simple first off. The government has an idea of what people have, if you are not a law abiding, you will not be allowed to have ANY firearm. And there aren't really "military" handguns. If you're talking about the "M9" you must be mistaken by the California policy of no gun should have more than 10 rounds. I like in TEXAS, greatest state in the US, and I can have a freaking 100-round beta mag if I wanted to. So there!
@wcb67 More so, civilians can readily acquire suppressors legally as well. And SBRs (Short Barrel Rifle). Those take more time to get, but a suppressor requires a $200 dollar tax stamp, plus how much the suppressor cost. I takes a more extensive Federal background check. Same $200 tax stamp and background check with the SBRs too. And a civilian can legally own a fully automatic weapon as well, it just has to be pre 1986. Generally, the government will know if you have it though.
@wcb67 It's not a military rifle...... You can go get yourself a 20 inch barrel, fixed carry handle, full butt stock AR. That particular COLT rifle is probably going to be a bit more expensive, but any law abiding citizen in and of the United States of America, and unfortunately only in certain states within the US, can but that kind of rifle. Just have to be 18 and pass a Federal background check and walk right out of the store with that rifle.
@wcb67 criminals are already getting illegal guns, so taking the legal guns away from the civilians trying to protect themselves for self defense, in the hope that criminals wont get guns, is just stupid! They are already getting illegal guns! I really don't understand the logic in you Liberals.....
@wcb67 tyranny shall not be tolerated, the PEOPLE have a right to protect themselves from corrupt government, AND if the government is run by a dictator,the people are granted by THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES to abolish that government. AND we are living in a time that makes the wild west pale by comparrison,guns save more innocent lives each year than the media would like to let you know, take your UN Politically correct bs and stuff it.
@wcb67 It's NOT a military "assault rife". I didn't hear any full-auto or 3 round bursts :) That would be the M16A2 and........ the word assault is overused. It says AR15 in the title. As for "military handguns", I'm not sure I get that one. If calling it an M9 makes you feel threatened, just call it a 92F.
Actually it is misinterpreted,under Hitler we had,and were even encouraged to have guns,even if we were not Germans,under commies and democracy...we can barely have hunting guns!
@wcb67 "This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more effective, and the world will follow our lead into the future!" Adolf Hitler 1935.The top five most used firearms in United States crime according to BATFE,5.Lorcin P-380, 6-rnd capacity,4. Lorcin L-25, 7-rnd capacity,3. Lorcin L-380, 7-rnd capacity,2. Raven R-25, 6-rnd capacity,1. Mossberg 500, 8-rnd capacity! SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIALS! NOT AR/AKs
@wcb67 we are not GRANTED these rights, they are inherent rights , WRITTEN IN OUR CONSTITUTION. Doesnt say, 'shall not be infringed,unless the firearm holds more than 10 rounds, and look 'scary', is he hurting any1 with it? They ARE NOT ASSAULT RIFLE,SEMI-AUTOMATIC. I use them because its a hobby I enjoy with my family and friends, cars kill WAY MORE PEOPLE,so does alcohol and are way more abundant & just as legal! I have 2 friends who live today cause of this rifle, so self-defense DOES CUT IT!
@wcb67 Honestly it is about reminding the government who they work for. Throughout history disarmament was the first step to a corrupt government. Stalin, Hitler, Kim Jong Il, and many of the like implemented or supported gun control early in their reign. In America, it's a foundational right. In other countries it is just a good idea. Also, this isn't a military-grade weapon. Its about as deadly as your every day hunting rifle. Hope this helped.
@wcb67 give me a sensible explantion why civilains are allowed to smoke or drive or drink each one of them kills more than firearms. hell if you use a "hillbilly" 12 ga agaist a human it would cause more damage than a AR-15 or Ak variant. these so called "assault rifles" only look mean. i know people who own Ar-15 but choose to use a hunting 308 for home defense just because of the powerof 308. these firearms and laws are inplace to put fear into the govt. not the people.
@wcb67 Because true Americans without mental problems are responsible enough to own them (unlike retards like you who have uncontrollable anger problems and no friends, which results in shootings).
i was thinking about selling a preban colt ar 15 hbar 20' barrel with a 1/9 twist competition sporter and getting a bushmaster m4,. does anybody think that is a good idea? which gun do you think is better?
i was thinking about selling a preban colt ar 15 hbar 20' barrel with a 1/9 twist competition sporter and getting a bushmaster m4,. does anybody think that is a good idea? which gun do you think is better?
I have a stupid question, lets say you sight in your rifle prone at 300 yards 20 inch ar. When you go from prone to crouching then to standing how much does your poa/poi change? I can not find any information about it anywhere online. Hope someone can help thanks.
@GUNS4MIKE1234 , you shouldn't have any trouble from prone to crouching. The thing that is going to change your poi/poi would be significant elevation or deescalation, which would be caused by gravity. Hope that helps some...
@GUNS4MIKE1234 It doesnt as long as your still aiming the rifle the same, now if you zerod youre rifle from a 3-story roof at a 300 yrd target, and did the rest of ur shooting from level ground then your bringing physics, angles, and also need to add the additional distance into play, but if your going from 6" off the ground to 24" at the same target, it'll be so negligible a difference if any at all, you wouldnt even notice it. No such thing as a stupid question, gotta learn somehow man!
@GUNS4MIKE1234 its change is measured in .001 of an inch meaning that the change is so small it can not realisticaly be calculated HOWEVER if you get the muzzle of the gun VERY close ( as in with in 2 inches) it will effect the bullet some because the exiting gasses will hit the ground and push the bullet up a TINY amount
@GUNS4MIKE1234 If you have the same cheek weld when you crouch or stand your poa/poi will not change. Its all about solid shooting position, controlled breathing and trigger control.
@GUNS4MIKE1234 im not an expert but yes your poi will change a tiny amount as you will then be shooting slightly downhill. However the change will be so very tiny you wouldn't need to correct for it at all at 300yds. Roughly calculated, you would hit 0.025 of an inch high. Your difference in accuracy by crouching/standing obviously would change much much more.
@GUNS4MIKE1234 your natural point of aim is all based on you. you must consistently have the same trigger pull, sight picture/sight alignment, and cheek weld in all positions. if you do that it doesnt matter what position you are in.
hey hickok, i seem to remember in one of your videos you you talking about being right handed but left eye dominant. im the same way. ive learned to shoot shoulder fired weapons left handed and it helps in accuracy immensely. have you ever tried to go lefty with your rifles?
@GUNS4MIKE1234 NTCH!!!!! (NOSE TO CHARGING HANDLE) Since the M16 series of rifles has a nonreciprocating Charging handle you the place the tip of your nose on the charging handle and the will give you a consistent cheek weld resulting in no POI/POA shift.
I wish there was a college course taught by you regarding firearms. So many people go off what they see on T.V. and feel that it makes them experts. I am with you in that I love firearms and shooting them, and with guns, I am a jack of all guns and a master of none.
Hickock, Those are A1 rear sights. The rear sight and the forward assist are different between the A1 and A2 (The FA will interchange). Nice rifles btw.
@RedSoxfan107 Same gun basically. M4 has a shorter barrel and less distance between the sites, different buttstock assembly. The full sized rifles are usually a little more accurate than the M4, but both are plenty accurate.
@hickok45 And the cost of a transferable machinegun. I think drop in auto sears are going for $10,000, lowers are maybe $12,000, and a transferrable m16 is maybe $15,000-17,000. Then your state has to allow it.
are there just alot of different names for different m16 or something cuz that looks exactly like an m16, i know about guns and i know alot of different guns just not about internals, and not about brands
I know that AR-15's and M16's are different in that the civilian versions are semi-automatic only, but other than that are there any other visible or statistic differences? P.S Keep the videos coming! Love em!
thank you for making the distinction between a semi automatic gun and an assault rifle. most people are unable make that distinction because they are not that well-educated.
I keep hearing this hilarious statement abt the AR-15 rifles that "if you keep them clean they will work"... Well of course that if u keep them clean, they will work... Duuuuh! The idea is to make the assault rifle work when IT'S NOT CLEAN. There r a lot of times during a gunfight when u don't have the time 2 clean your rifle. This happened a lot in Vietnam & Iraq. So what do u do then with a rifle that only works when "it's clean"? Ask the enemy nicely 2 let u clean ur rifle? AR-15 operation
Now that the military does a lot of close range fighting indoors and in towns, I wonder if there will be any gun innovations for better accuracy at short range.

My Dad recommend a shotgun for home defense, I chose a Mossberg 550 combat shotgun, no stock, pistol grip, 12 gauge of course, and a vented rib on top. I've got to admit though, that M4 looks bitchin' and I've fired the AR15, the lack of recoil is amazing.

that the reason why i love the m16 way more then the ak cause it doesnt shoot far away like the m16 does m16 own the ak47 in far distance .

@wcb67 this is not a military assault rifle. its semi-automatic and can be considered nothing more than a hunting rifle.
kagami67 1 year ago
hickok45 Sorry for the multiple post, but some people just don't get it. But moving on, that is a beautiful rifle you have. Remembering back to my grandpa that recently passed away, he bought his 3 sons Colt AR-15s back during the red scare, late . 60s or so. Those rifles still had the triangular hand guards on them as well. Anyways, love your videos, I always in some way come back to them. Keep making them, they keep me rather entertained.

@wcb67 So to answer your question in a final comment, it takes money, pure and simple first off. The government has an idea of what people have, if you are not a law abiding, you will not be allowed to have ANY firearm. And there aren't really "military" handguns. If you're talking about the "M9" you must be mistaken by the California policy of no gun should have more than 10 rounds. I like in TEXAS, greatest state in the US, and I can have a freaking 100-round beta mag if I wanted to. So there!

@wcb67 More so, civilians can readily acquire suppressors legally as well. And SBRs (Short Barrel Rifle). Those take more time to get, but a suppressor requires a $200 dollar tax stamp, plus how much the suppressor cost. I takes a more extensive Federal background check. Same $200 tax stamp and background check with the SBRs too. And a civilian can legally own a fully automatic weapon as well, it just has to be pre 1986. Generally, the government will know if you have it though.

@wcb67 It's not a military rifle...... You can go get yourself a 20 inch barrel, fixed carry handle, full butt stock AR. That particular COLT rifle is probably going to be a bit more expensive, but any law abiding citizen in and of the United States of America, and unfortunately only in certain states within the US, can but that kind of rifle. Just have to be 18 and pass a Federal background check and walk right out of the store with that rifle.

@wcb67 criminals are already getting illegal guns, so taking the legal guns away from the civilians trying to protect themselves for self defense, in the hope that criminals wont get guns, is just stupid! They are already getting illegal guns! I really don't understand the logic in you Liberals.....

@wcb67 It's NOT a military "assault rife". I didn't hear any full-auto or 3 round bursts :) That would be the M16A2 and........ the word assault is overused. It says AR15 in the title. As for "military handguns", I'm not sure I get that one. If calling it an M9 makes you feel threatened, just call it a 92F.

@wcb67 we are not GRANTED these rights, they are inherent rights , WRITTEN IN OUR CONSTITUTION. Doesnt say, 'shall not be infringed,unless the firearm holds more than 10 rounds, and look 'scary', is he hurting any1 with it? They ARE NOT ASSAULT RIFLE,SEMI-AUTOMATIC. I use them because its a hobby I enjoy with my family and friends, cars kill WAY MORE PEOPLE,so does alcohol and are way more abundant & just as legal! I have 2 friends who live today cause of this rifle, so self-defense DOES CUT IT!
reeseman67 1 year ago
@wcb67 Honestly it is about reminding the government who they work for. Throughout history disarmament was the first step to a corrupt government. Stalin, Hitler, Kim Jong Il, and many of the like implemented or supported gun control early in their reign. In America, it's a foundational right. In other countries it is just a good idea. Also, this isn't a military-grade weapon. Its about as deadly as your every day hunting rifle. Hope this helped.

@wcb67 give me a sensible explantion why civilains are allowed to smoke or drive or drink each one of them kills more than firearms. hell if you use a "hillbilly" 12 ga agaist a human it would cause more damage than a AR-15 or Ak variant. these so called "assault rifles" only look mean. i know people who own Ar-15 but choose to use a hunting 308 for home defense just because of the powerof 308. these firearms and laws are inplace to put fear into the govt. not the people.

I have a stupid question, lets say you sight in your rifle prone at 300 yards 20 inch ar. When you go from prone to crouching then to standing how much does your poa/poi change? I can not find any information about it anywhere online. Hope someone can help thanks.

@GUNS4MIKE1234 , you shouldn't have any trouble from prone to crouching. The thing that is going to change your poi/poi would be significant elevation or deescalation, which would be caused by gravity. Hope that helps some...

@GUNS4MIKE1234 It doesnt as long as your still aiming the rifle the same, now if you zerod youre rifle from a 3-story roof at a 300 yrd target, and did the rest of ur shooting from level ground then your bringing physics, angles, and also need to add the additional distance into play, but if your going from 6" off the ground to 24" at the same target, it'll be so negligible a difference if any at all, you wouldnt even notice it. No such thing as a stupid question, gotta learn somehow man!
reeseman67 1 year ago
@GUNS4MIKE1234 its change is measured in .001 of an inch meaning that the change is so small it can not realisticaly be calculated HOWEVER if you get the muzzle of the gun VERY close ( as in with in 2 inches) it will effect the bullet some because the exiting gasses will hit the ground and push the bullet up a TINY amount
gijoegotogo 1 year ago
@GUNS4MIKE1234 If you have the same cheek weld when you crouch or stand your poa/poi will not change. Its all about solid shooting position, controlled breathing and trigger control.

@GUNS4MIKE1234 It doesn't make any differance at all. now shooting at extreme angles uphill or downhill you need to aim a little lower than normal.
zyesa 1 year ago
@GUNS4MIKE1234 im not an expert but yes your poi will change a tiny amount as you will then be shooting slightly downhill. However the change will be so very tiny you wouldn't need to correct for it at all at 300yds. Roughly calculated, you would hit 0.025 of an inch high. Your difference in accuracy by crouching/standing obviously would change much much more.
soulecho1 1 year ago
@GUNS4MIKE1234 your natural point of aim is all based on you. you must consistently have the same trigger pull, sight picture/sight alignment, and cheek weld in all positions. if you do that it doesnt matter what position you are in.
joeratti 11 months ago
hey hickok, i seem to remember in one of your videos you you talking about being right handed but left eye dominant. im the same way. ive learned to shoot shoulder fired weapons left handed and it helps in accuracy immensely. have you ever tried to go lefty with your rifles?
joeratti 11 months ago
@GUNS4MIKE1234 NTCH!!!!! (NOSE TO CHARGING HANDLE) Since the M16 series of rifles has a nonreciprocating Charging handle you the place the tip of your nose on the charging handle and the will give you a consistent cheek weld resulting in no POI/POA shift.

@hickok45 And the cost of a transferable machinegun. I think drop in auto sears are going for $10,000, lowers are maybe $12,000, and a transferrable m16 is maybe $15,000-17,000. Then your state has to allow it.

I keep hearing this hilarious statement abt the AR-15 rifles that "if you keep them clean they will work"... Well of course that if u keep them clean, they will work... Duuuuh! The idea is to make the assault rifle work when IT'S NOT CLEAN. There r a lot of times during a gunfight when u don't have the time 2 clean your rifle. This happened a lot in Vietnam & Iraq. So what do u do then with a rifle that only works when "it's clean"? Ask the enemy nicely 2 let u clean ur rifle? AR-15 operation
