After browsing some AR-15's I noticed that some come with FWD Assist and some do not.
After doing some research I found mixed reviews regarding the necessity of a FWD Assist.
I found quite a few people who were all for the FWD Assist, but their reasoning was all theory based and not based on experience.
I also found several people, including military, who said they have never used it, even with the rifle being hot/dirty.
My question is, do you need a FWD assist on a basic civilian rifle. If yes, give your reasoning with practical applicable examples as to when you've needed to use it.
