Assault Type Rifle Test

Four questions.

Magazine Clip

I totally stole the title of the post from here. And I may have even LOL'd at the "Yo dog, I heard you like magazines" comment.

What's all the fuss about? This...

Wired's Ghost Gun

I Made an Untraceable AR-15 ‘Ghost Gun’ in My Office—And It Was Easy:

"I looked down at the fully built rifle and something in my brain shifted. I realized that the abstracted parts I’d been fiddling with had turned into an object capable of killing someone. My lower receiver had transformed from a “gun” in a legal sense to a “gun” in a very practical sense."

Abstracted parts... an object capable of killing someone... that could be said of many things. I'm not sure why guns seem to have some magical power that makes them so different from other tools - from hammers to cars - that can be used to hurt or kill someone.

Juentai JT-6188: AR-15.com Forum

I'm getting a lot of my info on the Juentai JT-6188 (aka QYT KT8900) from the posts on the AR-15 Ham Radio forum, so this is a note to acknowledge the work those guys are doing.

Thanks folks!

Caldwell AR-15 Magazine Charger

This AR-15 magazine loader puts my Uplula to shame.

Made in the USA

You got your box. I got mine - a lower parts kit and 10 more magazines. So I officially can only load half of my magazines - for rifles that aren't even fully built yet. Doh.

Legos vs. AR-15 vs. Weed

Twitter has been hot with a) people tweeting about getting new AR-15 rifles for Christmas and b) those who are less than pleased with the gift of a gun.

In those posts, someone points out how horrible it is that more people got an AR than got Legos. But then again, more people got weed than rifles.
