ORIGINAL: mnottertail That's where I am at with it, so we have found one small slice we are not contentious about. I don't like the term assault rifle being used on regular every day gunnage. But I do think that if your fantasy is to be some war hero look alike, join up, theres wars to send you to right now. See we have a point of agreement, calling every semi auto rifle, and even pistols, assault weapons is just spreading falshoods for the sake of political advantage. I do know that not everyone who has an AR (which I personally dislike) does so because they are some kind of Rambo want to be. Most are just more comfortable with the low recoil and the feel of the pistol grip. Those who are on some kind of ego trip consern me. Owning and using firearms is too serious to allow ego to rule. While you may not agree I have little respect for the .223, up close it can't compare to a 12 ga, and at range it is outclassed by the 06 let alone the 7mm mag or .300 mag. Yeah, I guess I don't shoot often enough to worry over ballistics. a .223 is a nato round and made to not be very efficient. I actually love .308 its a good pumpkin slinger, not flat and fast as .30-06 but it drops what it needs to. If it is fantasy shoot out, nothing beats a .45, you dont have to get close, and if you hit em in a hand, its a lot like a garbage can coming at them, it will move them. A 12 is good for dirty work inside. Hell, anything going from a 6mm 6.5mm 7mm. 22-250, .372 its all good, but again, .308 is most of what you need long range and easy to get still. Meh, they all kill. Even a .22 for wetwork and with accuracy, can take out long range as well, though one prefers something bigger. And we could talk this shit back and forth all day, and it has been done on many threads, but what we have here is a guy that shot up some people, and thats the thread. Didn't mean to leave out your favorite, yes the .308 is a good round. Home defense I have a 12 ga, for carry a .45, if I am force to shoot I want them to stay shot. Of course the .223 is inefficient, a military round takes more people out of the fight with a wound than with a kill.
