|
By Greg Chabot
| Soldier of Fortune Magazine Verified
by Greg Chabot “Would I trust my life to this upper?” Here’s the verdict. The AR15 family has been around since 1956 and is a battle proven design. It has always used the direct impingement system which is very reliable and simple, with the one caveat being the bolt and carrier get dirty from the gas and require more frequent maintenance to ensure reliability. Because of this, I have always wanted to put a piston upper through its paces.

With the end of the deployment coming, I had tried multiple times to extend my tour but was denied. I liked the simplicity of Iraq, and really had nothing to go home to. I had even contemplated going rogue and heading up to Kurdistan and linking up with the Pesh, as I had some contacts there.

What was your first job as a journalist?

As a freelancer my first paid article was at Soldier Of Fortune. One of my prouder moments.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, I was born before the digital age.

How is social media changing news?

In my opinion it is putting a lot of bad information and falsehoods out to the public. Social media has changed news for the worse.
