14. "a note"
In response to message #0
 
   I'll get into this in greater depth in the entry, but, handling the AR-15 for photography and whatnot, I can totally see why guys who came up in the M1-to-M14 era assumed these things were toys. The light weight, the small caliber, the plastic furniture—it must have seemed like the weirdest, sketchiest thing in the world to ordnance officers who were in WWII (which only ended ~12 years before the first AR prototypes appeared).

It makes me kind of want to get a set of wooden furniture for it, just to be perverse. And people make them!
