KeyMod-style handguards are impressively light and allow the user to directly attach KeyMod-compatible accessories to their rifle. KeyMod is a fairly recent development from the people at VLTOR and Noveske who created it as a public domain design which allows all companies to manufacture KeyMod rails without having to pay royalties for the privilege. This is all well and good, but now we can cut out the middle man and just place our accessories right on our handguards without a picatinny adapter. To solve this conundrum, low profile handguards enable the shooter to attach small sections of rail where they are necessary instead of weighing you down in arbitrary spots. This is a real headache for hunters who want to carry their rifles and rifle accessories on a long trek. That being said, the inclusion of picatinny rails on your handguard can result in undesirable bulkiness and can seriously weigh you down. The system has served shooters well, especially when it comes to bolting spotting scopes and the like. For the longest time, the picatinny rail system has been the gold standard for mounting AR-15 furniture. A similar war is now being waged between these two rifle accessory rails. The war between the two formats lasted from 2006 to 2008 and Blu-ray ultimately won out.

HD players played high-definition optical discs while, as you know, Blu-ray players play Blu-ray discs. If you’re old enough to remember Blockbuster Video then you probably remember the HD vs Blu-Ray showdown.
