  • I love it. "Magic weights and spacers"

  • @uuuuuuu30 AR-15 is the original ArmaLite (the original producer of this gun) designation for that rifle, and M16 is the US military designation. Though if you get across something that's called AR-15, it's probably a civilian market version of that rifle (which are mostly semi automatic)

  • how can i get a rifle like that or haw are called

  • Thanks. Very helpful

  • Simple but complicated? !?....lol that's like... it hurt so good....lol your a funny man potterfield....a funny man. Alittle too funny...lol jk...good vid

  • But.... Will it blend?

  • Cool, I've got magic weights and spacers in my ARs.

  • @SargentBlah 1. Its a play on words. 2. You say AK I say Shotgun. 3.The AR is designed for killing, not for protection...If your going to hunt or assault, you better be smart you better be right and you better not have a gun that misses or youll go hungry...again. I wouldnt use an AR to protect my home with...but I wouldnt want to use an AK either, but I would use an AK on a pile of unsuspecting watermelons from about 10 stories above. Thats about all they're good for these days.

  • look at Kalashnikov he just needed a potato and and some Toothbrushes to build the AK :D simple and awesome
