Euclidean

I'm glad that someone else who knows something about it shares my initial impression of it.

Every once in a while I see something that I just have to know more about even though I'm not interested in it. I'd get a conventional AR-15 first. I think the CAR-15 is only a good idea for a very specialized situation or if you just really like AR-15s and have several already.

You know this gives me another thread idea dang it!

Euc,
I like the gun. Remember hearing the "it feels like a toy" and the "made by Mattel" about the M-16? Likely the only reason this gun "feels" like a toy is because it is made out of carbon fiber which not only makes the gun light, but it doesn't transfer heat from the hand like AL versions, so it doesn't feel metally.

Actually an AR itself is for a "...very specialized situation...".

Looking forward to your new thread!

That's true. But the thing is, I'd rather have the standard off the rack AR-15 for a first one that I'm actually going to pay money for, ya know? It's kind of like how if I started with a 1911, I'd want a regular full size steel 1911 and not a super lightweight micro 1911. The more specialized product is something I might move into eventually.

I have to admit I do think it's neat as a pocket on a shirt and the thinking behind it makes sense at least. Sometimes I see something on the market and wonder "What in the same hill would I do with that...?"

But the way I look at it, I operate on a shoestring and there's so many good things to try I've got to pass on most of them unfortunately.

Oh and I found the answer to my question in another thread so nix that idea.
