Is the ar15 system "reliable"?
Are we likely to see these types of rifles running around in the wasteland after SHTF?
Also how likely is it that these rifles can survive in the wasteland if given the maintance and care of the common negroid in africa, with their AKs and g3s?

yes it's a very reliable weapon system, just don't abuse it and it will last longer than you
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. They do need more maintenance than ak's or g3's, but it's not like it will seize up if you don't clean it every 1000 rounds.
Ok for a North American SHTF, even after DECADES of Fallout style full retard non rebuilding, you can maintain a AR15 with SOME degree of cleanliness. Now for lube just tap cars for their oil, and any sort of solvent will do, even moonshine. Acetone, kerosene, lighter fluid, BOILING WATER, can clean a rifle.
>Is the ar15 system "reliable"?
i have my doubts desu
it wouldn't be my first choice.
There are plenty of A1s floating around Africa, so yes. You just dont see them as often because relative to the AK, G3 and FAL, few african countries adopted them.

there's a reason fucking everybody uses this rifle
>ar15
>AKs
they both seem like disposable hardware desu
Just by the sheer volume of them we are guaranteed to see them decades into the future even after an apocalyptic event, they aren't too bad in the reliability department either most of the unreliability claims stem from the old m16 which was the perfect storm of stupidity in the belief it required no cleaning and DoD politicking in the poor ammo choice coupled with the lack of a chrome bore forward assist etc. A1 and later models were/are good enough.
>Wants reliability
>Doesn't just use an L85A1
Come on mate
>desu
Leave it to the fuckin gooks to tell people what a workable gun is.

They are the most common rifle in America
Proper gun oil will be hard to come by, but as long as you have some kind of lube they'll be fine.
>People stockpiling ammo
>Not lube, oil, and cosmoline
10 years in when everyone's guns are screaming with every shot, 10ml of each of those will be worth far more than any gun
>Not knowing about ancient wordfilters that show up in damn near every thread
Its time to put the muzzle of your Mattel jammomatic against the roof of your mouth and pull the trigger.
I'm sure heavy weight motor oil will do just fine.
I'm sure there are also plant based oils that will work almost as well. Flaxseed oil could work
they are so fucking common and interchangeable I feel like they are going to be the last firearm in the wasteland
Johnny and Luther Htoo and the rest of their army lived in the jungle and used m16A1s that everyone thought sucked. The Zapatistas in Mexico have m4s from the 80s and those guys don't even know where oil goes into a car. Your average AR in America will be fine.
Second this: we hot-washed our rifles once or twice with the boiling water that comes out of the industrial sinks in the barracks' laundry room back in Infantry School; just shoot it full blast down the barrel like you're cleaning the resin out of your glass pipe in the kitchen sink, then run a sequence of maybe six dry rags through the barrel -- any microscopic droplets remaining evaporate almost instantly due to their high temperature.
Everytime there is a prepper thread, some cannibal wannabee talks of using human bacon grease from tendies.
He's probably Russian.
So they're not as reliable in the sense that you can't abuse the hell out of them like an AK or an FAL, but they're more reliable in the sense that you could submerge it in mud, and it'd still work flawlessly afterwards.
Ask James Holmes or Nikolas Cruz if the AR15 is reliable.
Holmes actually jammed because he used a c-mag.
>jammed
So, not reliable.
Drum mags sure as fuck aren't.
If you're using p-mags like an intelligent person then yes.
I had a buddy who didn't know you needed to take the BCG apart to properly clean his gun, he shot about 1500 rounds before he ever cleaned it right. I once shot 700 rounds of Winchester white box and Tulammo in a single day and the gun never jammed once. If you need more than 700 rounds you should get an LMG. Good enough for me.
The magazine is part of the weapon system.
>use flawed gimmick add-ons
>surprised when it makes the rifle shit the bed where standard parts wouldn't
Yes, see Additionally, the sheer number of them, their replacement parts, and their magazines/ammunition means they would be the ideal SHTF rifle. I don't really love shooting my AR-15, but I still have two for SHTF purposes.
>a stupid gimmick trinket developed 40 years after the fact for dumb commercial buyers is part of the """weapons system"""
This is advanced bait.
This is correct.
If you are going to use a weapon in combat, do not use drum mags.
One of the North Hollywood guys was using an AK and it stovepiped because he was using drum mags.
Be smart. Choose life. Use good magazines.
>asking patsies about crimes they didn't commit
Yeah, and the Carcano is the best bolt action rifle of all time.
Did you ever watch that Discovery show where they recreated the Kennedy assassination? It was pretty awesome from what I can remember, they even tracked down some ammo from the same lot that Oswald used. Built a platform, moving target at same distance etc. I'll have to find that to watch again.
Yes, basically what and says.
Consider also that North America is absolutely lousy with replacements, spare parts, magazines and ammunition, as well as reloading supplies.
