Bridgeman says the AR-15 is the type of weapon that can do the most damage and be purchased legally in the U.S....and the brilliance of
The AR-15 is known for its destruction, not accuracy, Bridgeman said.
"It's not a good sniper weapon but good for laying down a lot of fire down range," Bridgeman said.
"Put the magazine in, pull the charging hammer and you're ready to go," Bridgeman said.
What the HELL is a 'charging hammer', Bridgeman?
Borrowing from Mr. Williamsons' comment,
As an expert, can you explain the discrepancy and error? May I quote you as a source to update these articles?
Also, the AR10 and M1A seem to fire a .308 bullet that's twice as powerful as the .223, but at about the same rate. There are also several Remington hunting rifles that fire even more powerful .30-06s in semiauto.

It is questionable saying that the 30-06 is more powerful than the 308. There are so many loading combinations for these two rounds that there is quite a bit of overlap. One is not inherently better or more "powerful" than the other. The lore tells us that the 308 was developed from the 30-06 as it's base, and made shorter because a new powder could fit the same push in a smaller case.
But today there is a nearly limitless combination of powders, charge weights, and bullet weights and styles for both cartridges.
General rule is they're equivalent up to 180-grain bullets; .30-06 can handle heavier stuff, .308 can't, so in the overall .30-06 wins.
