Those cool looking uppers

The AR uppers with the rails at 12-3-6-9 O'clock.
They are a PIA and hands.
All those rails might be useful to mount your bicycle inner tube pump, handy home wrecking ball kit, portable microwave, flashlight, fishing pole, and camp stove set but they sure are hard on your hands.
Trying to shoot with all those pointy rail gaps poking your palm and fingers is especially hard in the cold. Now I need to find a RAIL-LESS hand guard for this rifle. My GF can pack all the other stuff, including sleeping bags, beer, water, Coleman lantern and steaks. I'll carry the rifle. [:D]

You need the soft rubber pads that snap in places where you haven't mounted your forehand grip, your side light, your EoTech with 3x Magnifier and your laser.
They actually work quite well.
Edit: Yes, like the pads BigOutside Posted.

I am pretty sure they are useful for the same thing as chrome on an engine.

Thanks Don and Bigoutside!
It is uncomfortable without rubber covers or the vertical grip. Plus you end up with much of the weight of the quad-rail being wasted.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I can't figure out WTH those 4 rail hand guards are supposed to accomplish. They look like some sort of Klingon battle weapon.

I rarely have stuff mounted on them other then a scope or an occasional flash light. The thing is you have numerous mounting options IF the need arises.
There are a lot of good options. You can get the pads, which I personally like a lot, mount a grip, or wear shooting gloves, which are a good idea even with the other options and are particularly useful in the cold for other tasks as well.
OR Man up, get some callouses on your hands and quit whining.
Works for me
Maybe the types but the one I have, the only time the rails bother me is when I am tightening or loosening the hand rail, like when the antiseize on the suppressors threads lasts longer than the antiseize where it goes on the barrel

That's awesome!
Hey, at least it would offer a slight amount of ballistic protection. If you were strong enough to hold it up in front of you.
