    Other than the fact its light weight, folds in half and takes AR mags

    It's nasty as hell, takes AR mags, goes in half, but so does an AR for similar money without feeling like it's made by fisher-price. What's your point?

    Find me a NEW AR for $1000nz in NZ, that weighs the same thats not a piece of shit.... you wont and cant fulfill any of the 3 requirements because its a complete fantasy.

    Thanks for your indepth review of a gun that a few posts back you questioned the basic design and function of even after having 'handled one', but apparently you've 'have handled a few' more in the last 4 days, so will be an expert now.

    If I wanted to post a AR in the 'Lightest Survival Rifle' thread I would have posted a pic of one of the 10 or 15 or however many of the things I have, head back over to the 'best wannabe groupie commando ninja warrior gun' thread.

    Nope. I just said it was nasty and I hope it shot well. The tag on the couple that I saw were $1600, not $1k. You can easily put together a $1600 AR of similar weight that is better than that thing. The reason why we couldn't take the one variant that was at the end of the rack down in the shop was because the peice of shit felt like it was going to break when we did. Even the staff said it was a piece of shit. Congratulations on having 10 or 15 things, I don't have that many so I must be somehow inadequate? I just might actually, who knows? However, the last thing I put together, I waited on the barrel for three weeks to arrive from Wellington, I could have walked there and back in that time, while the seller ignored my queries after a week and a half, bullshitted about why it hadn't left when he finally did respond, blamed other people after that, on and on. Maybe I should have posted on the "tardme" winners thread? Or would that be too mall ninja?

    Keltec are pretty notoriously bad and even go so far as to state themselves that their guns only have a 5000 round expected lifespan, but they make cool and interesting bad guns which are sorta innovative. It's a shame they don't sell the designs to someone slightly better at the making stuff part

    5000 rds is alot of survival
    If looks anything like the Carbon 15 that I used to have, getting to 2000 will be a tall order.
