I know the guys question was specifically asking about an AR platform.

Beavis is correct it’s the stock standard Tippman m4 (with a trigger upgrade).

I have to awnser that - negativity like that do we need it no we dont - so just as you say look once in a blue moon - my point is we live as firearm owners in an age where we are fighting for the right to have them - the anti firearm brigade is exceptionally strong and any excuse we are the losers- why give them ammunition against us - just because its a .22 does not mean anything to them - its a military style semi auto in their eyes - no matter how functional accurate or fun to use - why give them any excuse to have a case against us as a legitimate firearm user - we dont need it we have an uphill battle as it is -make absolutely no mistake about that

The anti gun brigade will find any pretext, a long rifle with a scope and a can will be branded as a high power sniper rifle don’t fall in their game…

Dude I don't even feel like you are intelligent or reasonable enough to have a conversation with, you are aren't fighting for the right to have them with an attitude like that. Like has already said you are a cock and firearm owners like you are the reason it is getting harder and harder to get access to firearms, if all firearm owners stood together in 2019 we may not be in the situation we are in now, but people like you were like nah as long as I can keep mah bolt action 22 screw everyone else

you are totally and utterly incorrect - I fought damn hard back then to keep my semiauto centerfire and abhor the way it all went - my point which seems to have been completely missed in calling me names is that the anti gun lobby want all semi autos banned - we cannot give them traction or ammunition and we dont as a group stick up for ourselves - the very low no of submissions is not going to do our cause any good - as I said read their propaganda and weep - the last thing we need is photos of kids with AR15 lookalikes and I will stand by that

well Howa 1500 awnser me this why when we have any number of really good semi auto 22 rifles such as Volquartson - Bergara - Ruger 10/22 target models -CZ all accurate proven why would someone buy a 22.cal semi auto copy of an AK47 or a German submachine gun or an AR15 its because of what they look like that seems to be about all - do we need them- not really considering what we can get - the Tippmans I will exclude they seem to be practical and accurate - or do I lack some kind of inner Rambo urge

I fail to understand the relevance of "why do we need them" because I want to and it looks cool is enough. But it's a rifle that's highly customisable to the user, whether this be changing the stock or trigger, easy mounting of accessories such as lights or thermals for night shooting, rifles such as the Tippmann can have the barrel replaced for increased accuracy. If you want to teach a kid to shoot you can just reduce the length of the stock. oh and yeah, because people want to buy it, what is the problem with this simple statement? We should be attempting to normalize the absolute shit out of this kind of stuff, instead you're like no the people who already want to take all my shit won't if I don't buy a specific type of firearm because it has a scary shape.

Also, saying it's ok for me to buy a Tippmann but not anything else is absolutely hilarious, can I buy a M&P if I'm on a budget or want a gun that's super lightweight, or is that not ok?

To put fuel on this bun fight fire: After mulling over it I can see both points of view BUT if the anti-gun nut types get onto wanting to ban Tipperman types rifles and by not purchasing them they importers stop bringing them into the country then it plays into the hands of anti-gun nuts hands - who will then target 10-22s etc.

Make sense?
It does to me - after a wine!

You probably shouldn't feel that way; that reactionary perspective has received no support from anyone on here

Unfortunately you get the silent minority who "place" themselves in positions are more than willing to side line/exclude those who do not kowtow to them and their "my way is the right way" . And they hold sway by virtue that everyone else does not have the time to devote themselves to the task , so their pathetic backwards/arse covering attitude wins by default.
And they abhor any confrontation because they know they don't have the support except from those they have managed to subjugate or fool .
