You just went full retard. You are why i can't talk about my SKS in public...
Pic related...my fucking SKS.

Holy Fuck you are retarded , you realize they are both SEMI-autos, the fire rate is only restricted to how you fast you can pull the trigger.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR-15

that looks like an M16

It says "fully automatic version only" ... The automatic version is only available to swat units. It's illegal for a law abiding civilian to purchase/own a fully automatic rifle.

800 round/min

That's a pretty fast finger

Are you even fucking reading the picture you posted???!???!???!?!!!
it says 800 rounds/min (fully automatic versions ONLY)
seriously how are you this incompetent

semi-auto, one pull one round
automatic, one pull, continuous rounds
civilians own SEMI-FUCKIN-AUTOMATICSSSSSSSSSSSS

STFU and chill out its a gun

Tell that to Obama.

As in IDGAF not everyone is American and gives 2 shits about guns and I'm bored of this retarded gun logic arguments

Your argument was that they are both only semi-automatic

And the picture is to prove that the AR15 is not necessarily just semiautomatic.

The fully automatics are also available to civilians. That's why they want to ban them.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Firearms_Act

They've been banned for civilian purchase since 1986. The only automatics out there are the ones that were registered at the time of the ban. And in order to purchase one you have to go through an extremely rigorous background check, acquire a class III firearms license (essentially making you a dealer) and THEN find someone willing to part with the automatic they own.

You say banned for civilians then say you can get one with a Class III license...Its not banned for civilians then.

they want to ban the semi autos, if legislation is passed it would be just as easy (and by that i mean extremely hard) for a civilian to go through the process of obtaining a full-auto. and the mini-14's rate of fire at SEMI-auto is 750 rounds per min, compare that to the AR's 800 rounds per min at FULL-auto and its pratically identical anyways.
link for proof: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-14

Neither of them are automatic, so technically as fast as you can pull the trigger thats how fast it will shoot.

Yes, but thats not the typical civilian model, you have to get a class 3 license or buy one on the streets. You could make pretty much any weapon automatic if you wanted to. There still wouldnt be much difference if either of these were automatic, it would be so fast that we wouldn't be able to tell.

you are infuriating me

Don't worry tank i found that whole point he was offering up pretty stupid also

You're only limited by how fast you can pull the trigger on both weapons. The shooter decides how fast he can fire the weapon, so how can one fire an AR-15 faster than a Mini 14?

there's still a max fire rate and i think the ar-15 is faster

Okay, I'll buy that, an M4A1 Carbine, which is a fully automatic military variant of the AR-15 in the picture, cycles around 950 rounds per minute, so we'll peg the AR's cyclic rate somewhere around there. A full scale M14 fires around 800 rounds per minute on fully automatic, again, military grade. Since the Mini 14 is a scaled down M1A (the semi-automatic civilian version of the M14) and fires the same round as the AR, it should theoretically have a slightly higher cyclic rate. Either way, we'll just use the M4's cyclic rate, and the M14's cyclic rate to make this easy. Both weapons fire at a faster rate than is humanly possible to pull the trigger. So essentially, both weapons fire as fast as the operator can pull the trigger.

I didn't say they're the same thing. However, the way in which they operate is nearly identical, barring the fact that the AR lacks a select fire trigger group. Osskari was making the claim that the "maximum" rate of fire on an AR-15 is higher than that of a Mini 14. I used the fully automatic equivalents as examples to demonstrate the maximum cyclic rate of the design, not the weapons themselves. My conclusion was that both designs are capable of a rate of fire that cannot be reproduced with a human trigger finger. Therefore, whatever edge one design has over the other is completely nullified, because the rate of fire is only limited by how fast the shooter can pull the trigger. Lastly, as someone who's qualified on the M16 (sharpshooter, nothing special like expert or hawk-eye) I agree with you wholeheartedly that fully automatic *three-round burst in my case* is useless when trying to lay down accurate fire.

you can also buy a slide fire stock for the ar-15 wich makes it (kinda) ful-auto. then it can shoot about 900 rpm
