Quote HistorySo I take it the defining feature for an ARM is the bipod gasblock? Is it possible to fold the bipod back with the AR handguard, or do they just snap it on when needed since it's a quick disconnect? If so, could a SAR kit with a bipod gasblock be considered a ARM? |

AR/ARM models have different gas piston/piston tube lengths vs SAR. Putting an ARM gas block on a SAR wouldn't make it an ARM in that case. |

I've never seen a bipod in the Colombian Army, and if they have the QD ones, they definitely are not packing and humping an extra pound+ of steel in their rucks. Also- Colombia has all terrain including glaciers, mountains, and deserts, but in the true "selva"/ jungle (not "bosque tropical"/ tropical rainforest) you could pop down your bipod legs and go prone... and be completely behind huge tree roots, deadfall, thick vegetation, etc... I would guess that they pulled a Tito when they were setting up Indumil like.... "Why are there so many types of gas blocks? AR with a bayonet lug, SAR without, ARM with bipod mounts with or without a bayonet lug..." |

FARC = Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, and the "D" doesn't stand for "dissident", it stands for the "drug dealers" that broke the peace agreements the FARC made in order to continue slinging dope. |
