Make sure you keep a mini-cleaning kit in your BoB, or at the very least, a BoreSnake in one of your pouches.
So, for SHTF, I would bet you would do fine with a single magazine for your AR. After a 30 round fire fight, you will either be dead, or there will be plenty of dead people around you and you can scrounge their guns and ammo.
owlhoot said:So what makes you think people will lose their humanity if the SHTF again? Don't you think we would be more likely to be helping one another rather than killing one another?
That's Easy... they were called FAILURES ! Failures that left Many Many American Soldiers Dead and injured because of a malfunctioning weapon... Failures that had the military scrambling to keep changing the guns.M-16, M-16a1, A2, A3, A4, M4 Etc Etc.. Constant "Upgrades" that 53 years later has Finally got them serious about finding a NEW weapon design. Don't drink to much of the koolaid... the Facts are the Facts bro.People who are saying that the AR / M4 platform is unsuitable for a SHTF scenario...then what would you call:
* Vietnam
* Gulf
* Afghanistan
* Iraq
* Etc...
I'm pretty certain that those answer your question of how well an AR performs.
Current gen M-4s are so reliable, they outlasted all other NATO 5.56 rifles in trials.
