KNS Precision makes good gun parts, but why does anyone need spade grips on an M-16?

simonmark6 08-19-2008, 05:02 PM I've had a look at it and see your point. Would it be any use on a vehicle or as point defence? Or is the answer: Because they can? Like the way they changed the recipie for Coke.

Hangfire7 08-19-2008, 05:21 PM Hmm, I suppose you could rig something to fire it remoteley, but then again, if its being fired remotley then why use any traditional grips.
It reminds me of a weapons article I read back in the 80s, one company was making belt fed M16s which in my book was a bit more useful than the spade grips you mention but just as silly. I mean how long before your 16 is a burnt out piece of junk if you used it as a belt fed weapon?
Its just another attention getter that screams LOOK AT ME!!!!!

Hangfire7 08-23-2008, 02:13 PM Hey lil bro, how goes it on the Rock?
As for the Shrike, I have no clue, I saw it in a Guns and Weapons or some such magazine before you were even a gleam in your parents eye. And it was an add to purchase. As I recall they had them in all manner of configurations but the belt fed 16 is the one that stuck in my mind. It was a quarter page add. Ah yes some of the other adds had M60s in all manner of configurations as well, standard, A1, Seal Carbine and a few others, ah the good ol days when it was actualy possible to purchase a autmatice weapon newly made. If I recall it was SARCO who sold them, or Rock Island, and if I recall this was circa 1985.
