What the Fuck; Evil Black Rifle Edition

I'm not sure where I was when I read about this, but Bushmaster's new "ACR" is going to cost over $2,600 for a "basic" rifle and $3,000 for an "enhanced" rifle.

OK, I'm not a big AR geek, but if you buy a compatible upper receiver for your rifle, I think all you have to do is push out the rear pin to swing the lower down and unscrew the front hinge pin. Take off the old upper, put on a new one, change out the bolt, if necessary, and you're back in business. The new upper has to use a caliber that is compatible with STANAG magazines.

So Bushmaster does away with the need to use a screwdriver to remove the front hinge pin and they charge over $2,600 for that? Who the fuck do they think they are, H&K? No wonder Bushmaster is marketing this to police and the militaries, as they are the ones who are playing with other people's money.

(And of course, expect to pay for the nose for additional barreled upper receivers for that pig.)

The ACR isn't an AR rifle at all. Well, I think it uses an AR-15 front sight post. That's it.

You can swap barrels and change calibers in about a minute with the thing.

I think it'd be worth $3k if it came with 5.56, 6.8SPC, and 7.62x39 barrels and bolts out of the box but it doesn't.
