Bull S**t. Not everything is a conspiracy. Yes, there were problems, my friends died, but no one at DA or DOD wanted it.
S**t happens.
Ah. So they didn’t interfere with the design. Guess all the history of the weapon is false then.
Mc Namara and his “whiz kids” failed to follow manufacturer
specs that chamber be chrome plated - why should we do that
if costs money .....
Chrome plating prevented corrosion which caused rounds to
stick in chamber
Also changed specs on propellant from IMR to ball powder
which burned dirty and caused fouling
Failed to issue cleaning kits - said rifle was “self cleaning” - big mistake
Hell isn’t staffed with fiends, but bureaucrats. Evil requires neither conspiracy or malice, just a willingness to set aside those pesky moral issues for a later date.
