ARs are odd birds in many respects... but the one thing that confuses me most is the charging handle. Why is it stuck in front of my nose? What exactly does that positioning give you (aside from a mil-spec nose picker)?
I see semi-auto shotguns with the charging handle forwards and on the bolt (or bolt carrier, whatever you call it).
I can understand a charging handle on the left side of the bolt area. Might be more 'tactically sound', or easier for lefties... but I don't understand why they had to put it so far back on the AR.
