     @Shadowman311 @Hoss @Elliptica @deprecated_ii nobody likes it but I still foresee a time when this was done deliberately because the service sees the AR platform as emblematic of their enemy = white americans.

     In the future they’ll demonize it even further, and herald the changover to a “better” gun as proof that america left ‘trumpism’ in the past. Plus they can give their negroid legions “OVERMATCH” and tell them that the smol-pp incel americans they’re brutalizing are carrying old, underpowered “racist rifles”

     There's only so much you can do to innovate on a device that throws chunks of lead really really fast.

     @Hoss @Elliptica @WashedOutGundamPilot @deprecated_ii You can add random circuitry everywhere that needs batteries and is glitchy as fuck, you can make scopes that cost more than the gun itself that are filled to the brim with pajeet spaghetti code and poorly designed systems coded in the previous millennia. You do all of this while your opponent is just going to stick a laser pointer on the same damned gun they've been making for a century, only with slightly more modern aesthetics and still match you in combat. This is definitely innovation and not sabotage btw, the people at the top definitely have anyone's best interests at heart.

     @deprecated_ii @WashedOutGundamPilot @Elliptica >There's nothing wrong with the m16 family
     
     but you don't understand deprecated, we NEED a new billion dollar M5 that probably has worse production faults than first run M16's we NEED brand new untested tech when the old shit was basically the best weapons in history for almost half a century (and still haven't been topped by any of our competitors), we NEED to handicap ourselves to keep defense contractors on payroll.

     @Elliptica @Shadowman311 We aren’t ones to talk. Lots of our shit is just as old, we just keep jamming fancy, expensive, temperamental avionics into the aircraft. The ordnance is kinda whizbang here and there but it’s not too common.

     Our service rifle? Developed in the 60’s. B-52, Kc-135, B-2, B-1, F-16, F-15, all would rightfully have been called antiquated when our parents were in high school. Effective, yeah, but people really don’t know how much of our air fleet is running longer than anticipated.

     They keep going back and increasing the lifetime limit on how much they can fly them, because they’re legally scrap-bound otherwise. Every “NEW” project is endlessly delayed and incompetent, like the tanker replacement that can’t even operate in moderate visibility….because they decided to do away with the windows and replace it with a system of laggy cameras.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Elliptica @Shadowman311 well, there's nothing wrong with the M16 family. it's not like there have been great advancements in firearms since and there's really nothing practical coming on the horizon until someone cracks the caseless ammo problem or some other major leap forward
     
     there might have been great advancements in airplanes but lol we won the cold war, so

     @Shadowman311 Honestly, at this point I can't tell who'll win. All I see is two retards fighting, one's armed, informed, and supplied by the US military, and the other has the world's 3rd largest museum of military hardware.
