"What will the impact of this month's 2011 Shot Show be on the AR-15 market?"

My 3rd trip to SHOT, a great show place for concepts, displaying current and new products. Last time there, I saw gas pistons, 6.8, 6.5, new mags, rails, the rise of the AR308, knock-offs and cool guy gears. Stick and Teh are right on with their response. The SHOT will be covered by everyone and anyone. You will see some cool stuff and stuff that has been refined. If any impact, it may be the average joe thinking this would be a great thing to get into-shooting sports and tinkering.
