Description

It’s not often that I shoot an AR15 with a design that so closely resembles the Colt M4 Carbine. Obviously, instead of a quad metal handguard, we have a rounded polymer handguard on the M&P15 Sport. Functionality seemed to be almost identical to the Colt M4 Carbine – outside of the select fire option of course.

Using a personally owned 16″ WMD Guns AR15, I was able to do some comparison between the two. The AR15 used for comparison is not the top of the food chain, but it is well-made and the price tag is much higher. One of the first things I noticed about shooting the M&P15 Sport in relation to my personal AR15, was the difference in recoil management. It wasn’t drastic, but it was noticeably more difficult to keep on target for quick follow up shots on A zone targets at the 25 yard mark.

WMD Guns’ AR15 loads out with accessories and weighs a lot more. That’s probably why I’m feeling more recoil with the S&W. The WMD muzzle break did seem to be smoother though.

Smith & Wesson provided sling attachment points on the upper receiver as well as the butt stock. Accessing the magazine release, bolt catch, and charging handle was simple. The charging is a little on the smaller side for those of us who are getting more into the aftermarket options. With this being said, the provided charging handle works fine.
