This entry synthesizes information from a video by Nikko Ortiz, a US Army veteran, showcasing his military service. It highlights his proficiency with heavy weaponry like the Barrett M82/M107 and M4 Carbine, as well as advanced equipment such as GPNVG-18 night vision goggles. The content emphasizes military achievements and the use of tactical gear within a military armory setting.
This guide, presented by experts from Brownells, Inc., addresses the common question of whether to store an AR-15 with the hammer forward or back. It debunks the myth that storing a firearm with the hammer cocked (back) damages the hammer spring, explaining that springs wear out from cycling, not compression. The video also touches on military armory 'rack safe' procedures, where the hammer is forward and the selector is on fire to visually confirm an empty chamber. Ultimately, the choice of storage position does not impact the firearm's longevity.
