What's the real reason why people don't like battle rifles?
Is it the lack of men these days?

>the gun is bigger so its for big guys
>i want to be a big guy, therefore i must like battle rifles
the reason people don't buy FALs or G3s is because they are expensive and generally kind of shit, especially compared to AR-10s.
also because 308 is 60cpr
>also because 308 is 60cpr
I wish this were true. More like $1 per round these days for cheap target ammo.
shit, 556 is 550-60 cpr
My 308 costs just over 30cpr
Sounds like a skill issue
>not 300WM
>not gonna make it
Also battle rifles are just fun. They're like motorcycles, they don't make sense on paper, but they do make sense in your soul. Luv me AR10
The AR platform makes a shit battle rifle
yes, somehow every country with their own arms procurement ran out of "real men" and that's why they all adopted 5.56 or 5.45 or 5.8
It's because they're pointless and serve no role.
they serve a role with optics, and in defensive positions, but not with open sights handed out to every grunt and shit kicker
You just described a DMR.
If you do not hide frogspam on sight, for the love of god please do not come to brg. Unless you happen to be a redhead pawg researching /k/ for a hit piece on the evil gun place.
rest easy, no one is going to raid your general with 10 gay Toyota Tacoma owners in their thirties in it
theres more frogs on brg than anywhere else on /k/ stfu moron
>Is it the lack of men these days?
well you're the expert on lacking manliness, since normal people don't give a shit about that stuff. You tell us.
2 reasons
>Weight.
>Poors.
That's it. Too many twinkwrists not enough chads. People b***h about 308 prices yet don't bat an eye when 5.56 and everything else jumps the frick up in price.
would love to see you try to clear a staircase with that shit
If I was technologically literate I'd demonstrate but I'll just mention if Gulf commandos rock long ass M16s then you know damn well I can sweep stairs with a falafel.
>Also swat just does picrel when clearing with long guns.
Just keep the gun parallel with the staircase instead of perpendicular.
you started the thread with a a pepe you don't even own a battle rifle
>People b***h about 308 prices yet don't bat an eye when 5.56 and everything else jumps the frick up in price.
in such cases .308 is still more expensive than 5.56. what the frick did you mean by this?
>glock 19
>DD AR-10
Gun problem solved.

People have been getting weaker with each generation that passes. The increase of microplastics present on the water we wrink, the food we eat, combined with pesticides is decreasing the amount of testosterone the average male produces and today's generation is far less physically active than people who grew up in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, which in turns leads to them being weaker.
the average ww2 GI was like 5 foot 7 poltard
Height does not equal strength, dumbass.
Neither do T levels.
People have been getting physically stronger until recently due to superior nutrition and simple calories. Now we've plateaued on that level and doomers like yourself are taking the declines in related fields and interpreting them as an objective total decline across all stats.
"plateau" and "decline" are not synonymous. i suggest waiting until after 6pm to smoke bowls
Physical health and physical performance metrics have risen since then, now it's plateauing. T levels OTOH have declined since then.
Do fewer drugs. Try some basic math instead or at least a google search.
so we're on the same page that t levels have declined, and physical activity has declined. what am i misunderstanding here? i'd rather have an Audie Murphy on my team than a 6'2 lanklet born in 2003 who eats from a microwave and has erectile dysfunction entering his 20s.
>what am i misunderstanding here
Ez. You seem to think physical performance has declined. It hasn't. It's improved.

They let you WALK 2.5 miles to pass the aerobics portion of the combat fitness test now.
Everyone knew the ACFT was going to be a shitshow years before they ever implemented it. Frick congress.
the average WW2 soldier would unironically get called a twink by most this board today.
Hell even the elite soldiers likely would. I recall reading Band of Brothers and the maximum amount of pushups one could be scored for then is 40. That's barely passing in the Navy.
Black person, People have been getting fatter and taller for generations, Wtf you talking about
while I am not sure on this. I believe that fatter males who can be considered unfit: (Avoiding strenuous work, refusing to go outside, and not watching what they eat are included in what leads to this but are not entirely at fault.) Their estrogen levels may be higher than those of others who are more active. We are indirectly being fed hormones, pesticides, and whatever other random chemicals are found in your food and water. I am unsure of what height has to do with this. That does not directly translate into strength. Especially when considering they would need more nutrients to keep up the muscle that is spread out over a larger stature. However, lacking that due to inadequate consumption is not unbelievable and is actually very common today. People today love filling themselves up with synthetic hormones, even unwillingly.
>heavier
>more expensive to shoot
>bigger boolet doesn't really matter if you're only putting holes in paper with it anyway
>haven't been standard issue for decades, so anyone who just wants an army gun to feel cool with will pass them up for an AR15 like everyone else
yeah if you look at the gun owning population at large, recoil tolerance is at an all time low.
people whine about .308 in a semi-auto or bolt action, how could they possibly conceive firing 20 of them rapidly?
My battle rifle """"options"""""
10 MOA cold war conscript rifles without the full auto to make it fun or cope that I don't have a squad automatic weapon
Sub MOA AR-10 that's just another AR
>10moa
Same tard level as saying a Tavor is 4-5MOA
SCAR 17 frens
"Battle rifle" is a dumb retronym
Yeah, full-power auto rifle sounds better
NTA but I don't hate Full Power Auto Rifle
>FUPAR
>FUPA(r)
>Full PowR
Touch the FUPA
It's just a designation, come up with a different name and try to push it and see how far you get.
Master rifle
.308 is for weak ass pussy boys that want to larp as big men cause their dicks are small. Real men use .30-06, now thats a big chad round.
That's a SPR gramps, a Sniper Rifle
M2 ball is ballistically analogous to M80 ball. I prefer my .308 Garands because they're a lot cheaper to shoot and good quality ammo is much easier to get.
.30-06 and .308 power is virtually the same
Men have grown too weak to carry a real rifle around. .30-06 is for weak wristed people that want to cosplay as their grandpa. Now 50 BMG, thats a mans round. Can you call yourself a battle rifle when you can't deal with everything on the battlefield? This thing destroys men, vehicles and helicopters. Go cry somewhere if you are too weak to carry this bad boy around.
>you callin that a rifle?
>this is a rifle
>takes out m82
Miss me with that, I cycle my gun myself. Whats the next thing you want your rifle to do for you, carry itself around and aim for you?
Cute baby rifles.
I want this pressed into standard issue by the end of the year.
needs tiny wheels
Thats a cute little thumb nibbler you git there, come back to me when you start chopping thumbs off
5.56 kills just as well and you can carry much more ammo, or something else
In old times, being a homosexual was equal to asking to be beaten.
In order to survive, one had to be tough, not feminine. These old manlovers desired not to be weak or look like one.
They were projecting masculine image and were carrying big bore guns.
Now homosexualry is protected by law and era of brutal men is gone. And with that battle rifles.
>Is it the lack of men these days?
Yes.
