The 'ARs' being sold at gun shows and gun stores are made for the 'sporting' market.
Sure they are made to look like 'military weapons' BUT they are made from crap quality steel components usually from recycled Chinese forges.
The barrels can't withstand the heat from fast repeated rounds fired. That's why the shooter had so many of them jammed after only firing a couple of 30 round clips off using a bump stock.
Real military ARs are made from military grade steel. They are capable of firing numerous rounds with a much higher heat buildup in the barrel.
Try to buy an authentic US military new or second hand AR from say a gun show.......(actually no one at ANY US gun show has one for sale legally.
If you do buy one privately it's been stolen from the US military.
The US military does not sell ANY used weapons unless they have been permanently disabled and are only for 'wall decoration'.
