COBAL
cobalt-kinetics-b.a.m.f.-ar15-nra-show
Jeremy from Cobalt Kinetics shows us the B.A.M.F., an innovative and very modern looking AR15. I have shot a couple of Cobalt Kinetics rifles and find the automatic bolt release on mag insertion and auto mag drop on last round to be really interesting features to benefit the competitive shooter.
However, there could be implications for other types of shooters as well.
