it doesnt, legality issues though....What exactly do you mean here by "muzzle device"? How does that help it fire?

You're allowed to have a muzzle brake/compensator. You can't have a flash hider.
Makes sense huh?
Oh, a brake. I guess I get it now. I think it will shoot just fine without one. Why bother? Just for looks?
I understand that completely, even with the small recoil of 5.56. The original statement wasThere are many brakes that effectively control/reduce recoil.
, which I asked about why that might be necessary to fire it. Still haven't heard from the guy making the statement, so we're going on someone else's guess, which is most likely right."and a muzzle device to be able to fire it"

...In addition to the legal issues, mitigating recoil is why anyone bothers; and I'm not guessing, I know from first hand experience of assembling my own AR-15 rifle.
I didn't think it was illegal to not have one. Now I am curious about how much difference one really makes for recoil (or more likely: muzzle rise). I found the "recoil" on the couple AR-15's I've shot to not be a heck of a lot more than a regular .22. Anyone else know how much difference this really makes? Or is this for competition type shooting? I guess maybe there it could make a difference.
Dude.

- I still need to find a A1 type "E" stock as mine as the type "D".
- The movie gun is obviously a M16, I settled for a SP1, but plan to change to a full-fence Colt lower at some point.
- The closest I can find to the M203 they used is the Cobray M203.
- The M203 sight is supposedly military issue. Looks like the one in the movie to me.
- It took a little bit of looking, but I was able to find an A1 upper with a "tear drop" forward assist and no shell deflector. The one I bought had the 3 prong pickle fork but I switched it to a standard A1 birdcage.
- While researching the movie gun I found that the one used had two 30 round mags that were taped using gaffer tape. Since my BIL works for the news, he was able to score me some.
I'll update this with better pictures when I have a chance.

Very nice Mike. The FDE is gorgeous
sameI love this thread, yet hate it at the same time.
I have 2, but feel the need to build at least 7 more ARs
