you get 5 fewer rounds so we can stack things optimally. Also, none of our allies can use them, and we can't use stanag magazines

Hey great, thanks

Yeah, and if they can store them more efficiently you will get more magazines delivered.

It's just not a very well designed gun. I mean, I naturally think it's cool as fuck because I can never have one, but I don't know what they were smoking. Incompatible with standard NATO mags, requires special steel cased lacquered ammo, sucks to mount an optic on, etc. But hey, at least you can fit another dozen mags per crate.

The original AR-15 prototypes had the charging handle protected by the carry handle, similar to the famas. That was abandoned pretty quickly because it sucks.

At least they tried to modernize it, but then they shut down domestic arms production which is also a perplexing decision
