What does the Forward Assist on the AR15 Do?

I thought it was used to jerk off the AR 15 to make it cum x) or else it will get pissed off and go around shooting at people. That's what the liberals told me.

Amazing how these guns are engineering marvels in their on right.

Armchair observation, never used an AR. But if the bolt is in battery and you bash the forward assist anyway (as in the military drills) surely this causes wear on the specific (the last one I guess) notch on the side of the bolt, the very one you would need if you in fact did have a malfunction in most cases.

Jams your rifle, teaches how to "motar" one open………lol

Thanks, now I know.

Why is you Rifle not safe? it was in Semi, please make sure people that are learning are aware so they do not hurt themselves.

thank you, I just bought a charging handle, but I don't know what should I do. http://www.ohhunt.com/ohhunt-ar-15-cocking-ambidextrous-charging-handle-extension-m4-aluminum-matte_p1573.html

The orig. AR 15 design by E. Stoner never had a forward assist. Not needed . It was added by Colt. If you have a jam. Hitting the FA can make it worse .

What rail guards are you using?

Ебань американская! Сами себе усложняют.

It's for hanging a Air Freshers on

I call it the “engineering hindsight button”.

You wouldn't need that thing in a decent gun…

Allways wanted to name an Oi band
",Forward Assist "

Clear Jams due to imperfect rounds and dirty weapons.

The forward assist was added so all the Johnny Hotrods out there have something to palm strike when doing their drills

It causes jams…that’s what

The “drill” is not to “push” the forward assist like a sissy, but to actually slap the slide release with the right hand and then literally palm slap the forward assist like you mean business. The USMC teaches that way during combat drills. Don’t baby the rifle. Just like an MP-5 sub gun, you slap the slide release silly like a pimp slapping a working girl.

Great explanation

Should have stuck with the original AR-15 design and stick gunpowder. Cheap ass American War industry thought they would save money and line their pockets with cash by using stock piled ball powder. Then instead of going back to stick powder, they changed the design of the rifle and then told to clean it all the time.. Stubborn ass American slobs, getting soldiers killed for their greed!

You can stealthily ride the bolt forward before using the assist to ensure it seats

Why is so hard? AR is small gain rifle. Forward assist is for assisting bullet down the bore. It's happening because to small amount of powder.

i was in the army for six years and just learned more about the forward assist in four minutes than i did those six years, thanks lol

Good reviews Spud"

And here we have another riced out AR. The $2.99 gas station flashlight is an excellent tactical choice. As long as the threat is no more than 8-10 feet you're good.

yeah well I guess a five minute video is a "quick video" in the gun world

Whit does is add cost and complexity and not a damned thing more.
Been using the things since 1975 and NEVER used or needed it.

I wish I would’ve known this sooner. I was hunting hog and saw a monster but realized my gun wasn’t chambered. The noise of slamming it shut caused it to run away. I could’ve slowly let it down then pushed it the rest of the way forward.

It move the head bolt to right atonement with the reacever locking lugs can sit round can be fully engaged co2 gas can be used to move the round out the front bezel at 2800 ft

For a co2 gas asst ha ha OK
