    Seems odd to me in this world of technology and daily advancement that we now have some flash new version of an AR-15... a design that dates back about 50 years. On the plus side, if the Army ever runs out of bits they'll be able to buy plenty of replacements on TradeMe. It would be cheaper to buy their parts on eBay of course, but we all know NZ Post won't ship gun parts from 'merica.

    Just curious - What's so good about these AR's over say, the array of generic versions we enjoy here?

    The only thing I can think of offhand is auto fire.
