One has a butt stock the other has an arm brace that is all I know and my buddy has one of them with arm brace and it is difficult to hold like a pistol and stay on target for me.
Just too much weight.

The gun was designed around the .223 cartridge in a 20"bbl and the military and civilians have been running hotter ammo and shortening barrels and beating the snot out parts and breaking them ever since, bolts, extractors (from trying to extract still expanded brass)....timing is everything....not to mention most "ARs" today are of anything but milspec build and are reverse engineered of various levels of competence, only Colt and now FN have the actual drawings/specifications..wonderfully sweet reliable shooters in .223/20"....I find the shorter obnoxious to shoot and action harsh.

Thought I'd mention, that if you want an effective AR at 100m, 20" is the way to go, and if you want a handy car/truck gun, install the M4 buttstock on an A4 20", or install an A4 upper on an M4 and leave buttstock at first deployed position. Quite handy and you get a very significant boost in velocity with original length, and the tumbling and fragmentation on which the AR depends for effectivity.
We got a little older.
The Jap bike thing changed too. Maybe not for the skinny chick deal, but there are some pretty big Jap Bike clubs now a day. I think some of them specialize in big chicks. Hence Big Jap Bike Clubs.
I always preferred the Harley Company. Younger days I wanted that outlaw appearance. I knew I was not tough, but wanted the appearance. Was more interested in the Crowd benefits, loose women, might get to see a wet t shirt or something like that.
Still like the Harley Crowd, but it has changed considerable, Most of them are very friendly grey headed Americans, that Love to take short rides, hang out, eat, drink, tea, share going to the Dr. stories. Still Hope for the Wet t shirts.
Gold Wing crowd is Pretty Cool for the most part, but as a dedicated Harley owner, I can not tell them, I have a Rep to Hold Up, but do Love to Hang out with them.
Kind of like being a Sig boy, or a Glock fan, or a Colt owner, Revolver Guy .......
All fine just slight differences in the Owners and there Machines.
Hope there is some Humor in the post, cause that is my Goal.
Not the Older deal, I still want the Young benefits, but they are slipping away.
As for bikes, started riding in 1973 on Enduro/dual-sport and had one ever since, rode a black Sportster for years, then a return to first love with a DR650 for years, them all getting too tall or heavy for fun and have been riding this little 250lb/250cc town tooter for last 5yrs, which gets more looks and conversation than any bike ever owned....sorry, babe, only one seat.

Yeah I thought they were cool when they were everywhere 5-7yrs ago. Bought 2, both 5.56. They’re pretty meh… sold one of them. I do prefer my 16” AR for serious work. But I still like my 10.5” 5.56 enough. Fun at the range, compact for easily being stashed out of the way in my bedroom.
I’ve owned a few. Always felt like I overpaid for a clunky outdated motorcycle. HD needs to get with the times.
Since there’s no “gun stores” around here, I’ve bought A BUNCH of stuff just to try it, not like it, and resell it. Now if I see something that intrigues me, I ask myself what it brings to the table that what I already have doesn’t, and it’s almost always absolutely nothing.
I’ve finally got my mind around the fact that I can kill anything I’ll realistically encounter with a 308, 270 Win, or 9.3x74r, so I think I’m done exploring new calibers.
I’ve recently been looking at new high speed crossbows, and I’ve concluded that just being faster isn’t going to help me kill more or bigger bucks than my 360 fps bow.
I sure wish I would’ve analyzed things like this when I was younger, because I’d probably have a lot more money than I do.

AR Pistol? Heavy, but not too heavy. The recoil is much more pronounced. Think a front post and shoulder stock would make one much more effective but then your into tax stamps and a wait. Don't like the noise, a suppresser is a great addition and one may as well get it.
My thoughts exactly. No need to chase the newest caliber anymore.
