Like they had to add a button for when it stops working in literal life and death situations and ar fans will use it as an excuse of why it’s the best rifle ever. It’s like actual cult behavior.

You know I was just thinking to myself "I haven't seen the forward assist spammer in ages!" and here you are! Maybe I can manifest you into a car crash next!

Kinda cope when a retard peasant rifle is objectively better at not failing when you need it most

Except when the combat area contains dirt or mud, that is

>>64123579
That’s still better than jamming when nothing is happening at all and you’re being attacked by an angry mob

AKS and some FALs have forward assists too. any gun with a reciprocating charging handle by definition has a forward assist

This retarded meme needs to actually die forever
Even real, actual soldiers don't go raking their gun through the mud and shoveling mud into the action, literally ever
This is a stupid meme invented by youtubers so they have yet another video to make and more sponsorship slots to fill

>>64124042
You’re retarded. It’s a meme created by ordinance fudds doing weapons testing

>>64123525 (OP)
Jealous or mad. Call it.

>>64123557
Wait, the AR does not have a charging handle?

>>64123525 (OP)
The forward assist isn't the reason why people like the AR-15, but you can have that opinion considering that you're a noguns faggot.

ARs do suck, but the fact that they give the user cancer and are limited by a magwell that was originally designed for a literal squirrel cartridge are even worse than the forward assist.
>>64123557
Genuinely curious if there's some kraut space magic rifle out there WITHOUT a charging handle.

>>64124311
The AK's charging handle is attached directly to the bolt carrier so you can smack it to force the bolt to close. The AR has a non reciprocating charging handle, and pushing forward on it does nothing.

>>64124421
Sounds like the AK has a more streamlined design.

>>64124426
The AR has the advantage of being ambidextrous and not breaking bones if you hold it wrong. A reciprocating charging handle has its merits, but there's also a reason nothing uses them anymore.

>The AR has the advantage of being ambidextrous and not breaking bones if you hold it wrong.
This sounds like a skill issue.

Why do people dislike the FA? Is it for aesthetic reasons? The negligible amount of weight it adds?

Literally all of the early rifles that had to avoid Browning's patent on the charging handle.

Karl parroted fuddlore back in the day before he committed career suicide and it spread to midwits on a large scale.

>>64124566
lack of experience using an actual gun and too much experience watching (You)tube. speaking of, delta34 or some other guntuber has a video up of people running his course with various ar's, surprise surprise the only person that couldn't clear malfunctions had a non-fa upper reciever. it's an iq test at the end of the day

the ar not having a side charging handle allows the receiver to be more closed. there is no long cutout in the side of the receiver for the charging handle to move through (just a hole in the back that is mostly sealed) and there can be a dust cover over the ejection port. this helps keep dirt and debris out of the action. gas that escapes around the charging handle and through the vent holes in the bolt carrier blows dirt and debris out of the way.

>>64124426
>I like having to charge the rifle everytime I hear "click" and have to load a new mag
That's because you've never used one

>>64124566
midwit retards think they're smarter than everyone and parrot talking points by other retards. Simple as. Guns that don't have any way of getting the bolt into battery are pieces of shit.

>>64125107
The FNC and Galil ACE solved the charging handle cutout problem with a spring-loaded dust cover.
>>64125221
Fun fact: Yugoslavia was going to give their M70 a LRBHO, but it would've made the rifle incompatible with existing AK magazines, so they just compromised and created a new magazine follower that would hold the bolt open on empty. The 5.56 Galil ACE that uses its own proprietary mags has this feature.

>>64125359
Well they’re not complete dogshit to need forward assist in the 1st place and are functioning firearms so…

I served FOUR FUCKING TOURS I ain't seen a forward assist used ONCE. Only time I did use the forward assist was banging a fucking hammer to the m249's charging handle

I used forward assist once during my conscription. But that was with a plastic plastic magazine and a rifle so worn out that it actually should have been decommissioned.

You can do that with a side charging handle, look at the P90.

I do not understand why some people have trouble understanding why it might be beneficial to have some means of manipulating the bolt carrier. At this point I think they're just being willingly obstinate.

>>64125585
I miss guntube in 2016, these video recommendations are infinitely better than anything you’ll get in today’s world. (Not sure why the thumbnails aren’t loading though.)

I think the AR-15 has proven itself as a design by now.

>>64123609
so true zister

>>64124503
The reason is that everyone uses ARs.

The entire premise is wrong in the first place. You don’t need a reciprocating charging handle to be able to put forward force on the bolt. Many popular firearms have this feature.

>>64123525 (OP)
You don't need the forward assist

>>64126010
As other anons have already pointed out, it's midwit momentum.
The only types I see bitching and moaning about the FA are either nogunz, or metrosexuals who want their gun to look "pretty".

Like I've had to personally explain to people one on one why the FA is good and if they aren't just being contrarian, it's because they GENUINELY didn't understand that the charging handle only interacts with the bolt and piston when you are moving it rearward.
Another anecdote for me at least is using the FA on more than one occasion because I wasn't sure if I had a round in the chamber. Pulled the CH back slightly, saw the shine of brass, then mashed the FA. As you said it's incredibly useful and I have never heard of it being a point of failure, like contrarians really love to say.

Never happens unless your gun is an absolute shitter, and even then it has to be an exceptionally bad shitter and owned by a negligent nigger who doesn't maintain it.
>t. Guy who owns a $600 Bushmaster and has never gotten gas in my face despite only shooting Winchester White box

On the one hand I have run a wide, wide variety of rounds through the same ar15 on the same day and had no problems. From severely overpressure or over-rapid burning 5.56 solid copper 55gr loadings to very mild 77gr otm .223.

On the other hand I have never run a gun long enough without cleaning or hard enough for sustained high volume of "heavy hitting" rounds or to enough wear that I have seen feed issue problems.

Maybe the FA is worth it, maybe not, to be honest I can't say.
