killing lots of grunts means nothing. hathcock and the snipers he trained killed about 1000 commies in Nam, so what? We still lost. To get to the big boys, you have to be able to disassemble your silenced auto rifle, get into position, and hit the target's bodyguards after you hit your main...

aint this a RIFLE thread? Why don't you start your OWN thread for the shotgun admiration crowd?

I never said it had 1000 ft lbs at 400 yds, but it has that much at the muzzle. The further away an enemy is, the less hard you have to hit him. If you are prone around cover, as you certainly SHOULD be for sniping type shots like 400 yds, he can't hit you BEFORE you put a 223 thru his chest...

There's plenty of accuracy in a modern autoloader, for varmint shooting and sniping, so why limit yourself to the one shot every 1.5 secnds of a bolt action, when you can fire 6 shots in that same time frame (all shots hitting a man's chest at 25 yds). It's silly, and it's ignorant.

u r many times more likely to not GET to that longarm or pistol, when needed, than you are to not have "enough gun" when you need it and "all" you have is the pocket pistol. Most of the time, you never have to fire. Many who make you fire, flee when you MISS, too. Others flee/stop when hit even...

all this leaving loaded guns lying everywhere in your home is just asking to have them stolen or misused, and bragging about it is just adding fuel to the fire of the anti-gunners. Just like shooting hogs from the air, crippling most, impossible accuracy demands, is adding fuel to the fire of...

we don't live in Iraq and there is no reason at all for you to neglect and abuse your rifle. The AK was built for use by ignorannt peasants. If that is what you are, get one and be limited by it. Go the 2x a year machinegun shoot at KnobCreek, KY and SEE the AR performing while PLENTY dirty...

u think that the 223 does poorly in a short barrel, try a 308 in an 11" barrel! :-) 2000 fps and no more "reach' than an sks has. You can get a 60 gr Nosler Partition SP to 2700 fps in an M4, which is 1000 ft lbs of power, the same as a 6" .44 mag revolver with a VERY powerful load in the .44...

The Pygmies used to do it by digging a tiny pit in the trail, having one man get in it, then covering him with debris. As the elephant passed over him, he would straighten up, spear held in both hands, using all of his leg power to drive the point deep up into the animal's guts. Then they'd...

Check on Ebay for Lee BIG progressive reloaders, not the handgun only version, oftentimes, they are well under $300, and load 700 or so rds per hour. Upgrade them with a bullet feeder, and you get 1000 rds an hour, sustainable, which lets you load for others. If they exchange brass for your...

of course it does. Armed means "able to resist", and you can't resist without the ammo. You can't resist without some training/practice, either.

in a front pants pocket holster. With a bit of practice, you can learn to react to the beep of an electronic shooting timer, draw (starting hand in pocket, still concealed/discrete) and hit the chest of a man at 10 ft, in .70 second. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is anything like that fast with a...

Put up a row of 5 10 " steel plates sometime, at the shotguns IDEAL range of 15 yds, put those heavy magnum loads in a pump gun, and SEE if you can match my sub 3.0 second time (on electronic shooting timer, now, not bs stopwatch "timing") to react to the starting "beep", and hit all the plates...

so what, dude? if a .22 hits you in the eye FIRST, you will never even FIRE that 12 ga. The idea is to hit FIRST, with ENOUGH, not to handicap yourself with limited use items, and that's what a shotgun is. For combat, you want either a pocket pistol, for normal times, so that you will HAVE it...

no, you THINK you are something special, which actually makes you deluded.
