unfortunately, I won't get issued one of these, cuz I carry my own Bushy AR15 so they won't let me have two rifles....![]()
Its a govt program, to help defray the costs of major firepower for the depts that dont have the budgets to procure such items. We have local depts that have full auto M14's and 16's, beats the hell out of giving them to some third world nation that would just end up shooting them at us. After the LA shootout someone was obviously using their heads and thought hey we have millions of these old A1's laying about taking up space and gathering dust, lets see if someone can use them. Suprisingly they seem to be sending out the ones in the best condition because all I've seen have been in pretty damn good shape.Sweeeeeeeet, i haven't shot an M16 on full auto in almost 20 years
just curious why did your dept buy such old weapons i thought those were phased out in the late 80's? and opted for the A2 with three round burst
do they still make the A1 i am assuming not since it still has the old style triagle hand guards
Actually the A1 is superior because it doesnt have the mickey mouse 3 shot burst.

In that case, what's the point of the department aqcuiring them if they won't let you use them when you get them?Our Dept. is already writing a new policy/procedure on the rifles and how Officers are NOT ALLOWED TO FIRE ON FULL AUTO......
