The talk of accuracy in AR rifles is interesting. I just acquired my own "platform", a Sig MP400. It shoots like crap. 6-8" groups at 100 yds. And with one magazine, it doubled or tripled 4 times. The other 3 mags that I shot did not. It seems to have all the precision of construction that would would expect in a box spring mattress which is what it reminds me of when listening to all the springs and vibrations humming with each shot.

I think its popularity is a function of 1. the entertainment industry, 2. familiarity for all ex military and LEO, and 3. it appears "high tech, modern" whether it is or not.
