Thatās a whole lot of dumb over there. In some ways, just looking at the chart is going to bring out the worst in people.
Made by Colt marketing.
shrug If anything reading that garbage is vindication for my presence here. Threads like that are the exact reason why I spend 99% of my time and energy posting and sharing information on this site and not ar15.com.
OK so hereās a question and sorry if Iām stupid for asking, but aside from the 16" barrel and lack of Burst FCG, does a 6920 strictly adhere to the M4 TDP?
Perhaps instead of having a Colt 6920 as the leading entry the chart would be better suited having the M4 Carbine TDP as the leading entry? This might cut down on the āColt marketing gimmickā knee jerk a lot of people have.
I mean of course thereās going to be the āBecause I did not research, I spent my money on this insert name of crappy AR here and instead of admitting I made a mistake I will instead become emotionally invested in my gear and belittle everything elseā people, but there are some who donāt understand the real reason for the chart.
It is my understand that given the TDP and the fact that the Government spent a lot more time and tax dollars than anyone would like to fathom researching and developing those specifications, it would be best to compare to that when making a purchasing decision on a tool that one may be required to call upon to save their life or the lives of their loved ones one day.
Priceless.
Itās just a marketing comparison to Colt. If you put DPMS in the first column and marked off all its features/specs, Colt would be all barren. I guess I donāt get it.
I sure do wish that Colt would hurry up with those back paychecks. and it would be nice if I could get some respect from the dickheads they had working the booth at SHOT this year. After all, we all work for the same company.
:rolleyes:
Some days make me contemplate drinking a few bottles of lighter fluid and then swallowing a lit match. Today seems to be one of them.
There are some real gems over there right now.
āColt has double shielded handguards. LaRue rails canāt say that.ā
This one is amazing:
āThey never bother to rate which civilian parts are much better quality than milspec. Never crosses their mind that some civilian stuff could possibly not need MP inspection.ā
These people just dont get it. They voraciously defend their purchases until blood starts pouring from their mouths because theyāve bitten off their own tongues in a frothing, rabid frenzy to justify their own stupidity.
Bottom line, if you have an oly arms and you like it, fine, just shut the hell up about how many hadji bowling pins and umpteen billion rounds youāve fired through it with nary an issue.
I love it!!!

appreciate the updated chart. doublt iāll ever buy one off the shelf, but it does give me some more info to work with, when considering components.
Promise to put it up on YouTube? 
The thing that really cracks me up about threads like that is that invariably, someone pipes up with something like:
āMore fodder for the Tier 1 crowd to banter aboutā
Followed by hundreds of posts of people talking about how the chart sucks and sarcastically saying things like āI guess my RRA just needs to go in the garbage. It probably isnāt even safe to shootā¦ā.
The only people ābanteringā about anything are those who have no better time but to bitch about the chart.

Rob_s, you should have made a chart like this for April Fools Day. Include things like commercial RE, out of spec chamber, and a panther on the lower. Then we could have had a fantastic meltdown at TOS.
Like others, I canāt understand why others canāt take the chart for what it is. When I first discovered it I set out to learn what everything meant and it helped me decide on my CD M4LE. While that gun doesnāt have everyhing on the chart, I figured that it was a good buy for my needs. And no I didnāt throw out my bushmaster rifle or get all huffy that it wasnāt the best, I just saw a few things that should be upgraded and I hope to do those when I have the time and money.
There is some pretty good buffoonery happening over there.
Man, there sure is a lot of crying going on over there.
You canāt make this stuff up, folks.
Going to TOS always reminds me why I stay here.
Another gem:
Fu@k that stupid chart!!!
All the chart does is list objective facts about rifles. You carrier is either staked or itās not. The bolt is either individuall MPI tested or itās not. You have a milspec RE or you donāt.
Iāve never before seen anyone get so upset over a chart of objective facts.
Sure you have:
