Frequently Asked Questions

What caused the NFAC incident in Louisville?

The NFAC incident in Louisville involved a negligent discharge by a member, which resulted in injuries to three people. This highlights the critical importance of safe firearm handling during any public gathering or protest.

Can an AR-15 fire if it's just 'banged'?

No, an AR-15, being a closed-bolt system, cannot fire simply by being 'banged.' It requires a trigger pull to engage the firing pin and discharge the round. This is a key safety feature distinguishing it from some open-bolt designs.

What is the difference between a battle rifle and an infantry rifle?

Battle rifles typically chamber full-power cartridges like .308 for longer range and power, while infantry rifles use intermediate cartridges (e.g., 5.56mm, 7.62x39mm) for a balance of power, weight, and capacity, making them more suitable for general troop use.
