AR-15s will still be cheap, ammo plentiful, and they’ll all still be on the same standard.
Oh, they will… Just like the AK. Then, we’ll have people arguing over if everyone should switch to the XM7 platform, over the AR, because the AR is so useless, and incapable of anything reliable, yadda yadda yadda.
Again, the AR is only as popular as it is because of a marketing campaign by the US gun industry, that started backed in the early 80’s, in order to sell machismo to returning Vietnam vets. I mean, they weren’t all that popular in the 70’s, even thought you could mail order a full auto rifle. People were declaring the M1 Garand to be far superior, because “So many parts, ease of maintenance, everyone knows how to use them, ergonomics don’t need training” etc etc etc.
The exact thing you hear people say about the AR vs AK, or AR vs M1, etc etc
