  • The part you're missing is that earth isn't a point in space. That's why there's tides caused by the sun (which are different than tides caused by the moon)

    A person wouldn't feel the difference, but the tides would slosh back when the solar gravity stops effecting them.

  • Sure, but also wheelguns were also considered more reliable and better than semi autos at the time.

    AR ban expiration came around the same time as people were getting more used to gucci guns and mods.

    There were a lot of other guns that got unbanned at the same time. The AR platform just happened to be ready for a resurgence right around the time that the expiration.

  • While you did answer the question, it is better to clear a jam by pulling back on the charging handle, possibly while also mortoring the buttstock. Hitting the forward assist is just as likely to make the jam worse. (This also counts for AKs, this isn't an AR only thing)

    Some newer ARs don't come with forward assists anymore, sometimes to prevent people from making jams worse, but usually cause they're for sport and if your rifle malfunctions in a way that needs a forward assist, you can just take the L and get off the range to solve the issue.

    Regardless, if you hit the forward assist, just make sure you're in a position that this might be the last round you can fire without doing some maintenance.

    But you are correct, ARs are as popular as they are for a reason. They're reliable, easy to get parts for, and ammo (while expensive) is just about everywhere.

  • In reality, each of those 15 people do a very specific, probably undefined, but valuable task.

    There's always some random spreadsheet, or paperwork, or approval that only they know even exists. Or they know exactly how to get that one important system back online when it fails every 6 months.

    Management sees those 15 people walking around and think they can just fire them and only get the benefit of the 3, but in reality, it just pushes those tasks to the 3 folks and makes them even more overworked.

    Not everyone needs to be heads down at their desk for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week to be valuable.

  • How would a company (even a good one) let people know they exist without some sort of advertising?

    Just start a company and sit there hoping people accidentally find you, then tell their friends?

    Advertising has to happen on some level.
