Re: Future Weapons: Magpul Masada (Bushmaster ACR)
I have always wondered, just how useful is having ambidextrous controls on a weapon? I am always reminded of an answer I read about how left-handed people should shoot the Garand. It was something like "Uncle Sam decided that it was to be shot right handed and many left-handed shooters, instructed by the kind words of their drill instructors, learned to shoot it that way".

But it still uses a Prairie Dog caliber...

Well, if you watch the video, and if they ever actually build it, it's supposedly convertible to 7.62x39, or at least the Magpul version is/was.rightisright wrote:But it still uses a Prairie Dog caliber...

Only weapons I ever shot right handed were MBTs and ATGMs.

I can take or leave Ambi, it all depends on what the application is. In a 1911, nope, on a rifle, sure... I get into more interesting situations with a rifle...

I think they're just waiting to see if Obama is elected and another AWB is passed, as it wouldn't make much sense to build a bunch of semi-only civilian versions if you aren't going to be able to sell them.
