Reply #103: The "assault" one is more ergonomic and flexible

[DissedByBush]

It has a telescoping stock to make it easier for those of us with short arms, or smaller people especially women, to shoot.

Many people find the pistol grip much more natural and comfortable.

The rails allow for the easy attachment of a scope and a bipod.

All of that makes for an excellent target rifle, little use as a supposed "assault weapon" especially since it is still semi-automatic.

But if you're looking for a sniper rifle this is a poor choice no matter what. A straight .308 hunting rifle is much better for that.

People who need mental help are those with an irrational fear of guns.

Especially those who refuse to be educated on an issue and still think they're qualified to comment on it.
