My AR shoots fire

This new build with 10.5" barrel shoots fire out about 10 inches when firing. I put a low concussion muzzle brake on it and it works really well. Build was under $600. Ares armor nickel boron bcg and Hardened Arms upper.

Nice
Im lookin at a 10.5 Radical Firearms AR Pistol Thinking about buying a 7.5 upper as well. The price is right
Also I heard Cheaper than dirt had .223 on sale for 245/1000rds yesterday

That's what first ran through my head.. but is it?

.223/5.56 performance is significantly lower starting right under the 16" barrel threshold. 20" barrels are best and are what the cartridge was designed for, but the difference between 20" and 16" is negligible enough. Go from 20" to 10" and you are loosing a significant amount of energy. It's like cutting 10" off of a 300 win mag barrel(usually about 26" for a reason) and wondering why you see a big flash ball and get performance equal to a 30-30.

AR peopel are funny. Wasted enery sure. Still hits and destroys a target, Absolutely

Some AR's can run it, some can't.
The most common AR issue I see is the bolt locked forward from steel ammo getting stuck in the chamber.

Wastes about 20-25% of the muzzle energy. If you are outside kicking down door distance you will will want to change from ball ammo to something that will expand if you are shooting at soft targets. Will still ring steel with authority under 200 yards.

I could beat off with 2 hands for maximum efficiency. But I like to mix it up.

How would one theoretically get the round unstuck from the chamber if this were to occur? I've never seen it happen.

What kind of buttstock is that bro? 16" is short as I'm going.

That was $18 on Ebay. Let's not give that optic too much credit now shall we?
