watching "Gun's and Ammo" and they did a review on the FN Scar. They were going through the benefits of the Scar and one of them was that the barrel life of the scar was far superior at 30,000 round life over the M16 and its 6,000 round barrel life.
Is this true? and if so, how and why would the M16 let technology hold them back so much and for so long to only last 6,000.
The other part to my question is about the popular AR-15's... Are those on average only supposed to have a life of 6,000? or is that 6,000 number, if realistic, because of the full automatic option over the semi auto AR?
