alright troublemaker, you go sit in the corner over there and calm down
Why are American civilians (particularly) in love with this round when there are so many more styles and sizes out there! The round was invented decades ago for combat, to be accurate at mid and longer ranges. If only more people would have instead purchased rifles chambered in different sizes, there would not be such a shortage right now. I do not own a rifle chambered in 5.56, although I have experience firing 5.56. I'm worried for my fellow countrymen who cannot purchase ammo or have to pay much higher prices.
I don't have a death wishYou should have started the thread "The misguided infatuation with .45 ACP"
That would have been far more interesting.
Look what happened to "Lefty" from close range.It seems to have worked pretty well in a recent high profile self defense situation...
Working pretty well and having probability&statistics&ballistic data to back your caliber of choice are two different things.It seems to have worked pretty well in a recent high profile self defense situation...
I'll take proven several times in the real world over theoretical charts and graphs any day.Working pretty well and having probability&statistics&ballistic data to back your caliber of choice are two different things.
Do people who would be better suited by a caliber OTHER than 5.56 still purchase a rifle chambered in 5.56? I think so, yes.New guy pulls pin, tosses grenade....
You seem pretty sure of yourself for a noob.Do people who would be better suited by a caliber OTHER than 5.56 still purchase a rifle chambered in 5.56? I think so, yes.
Does this hinder others who are better suited with 5.56? Yes
Yeah why not? Especially last year when you could have gotten a perfectly serviceable one for $400. Don't have to put much thought into something that's proven and ubiquitous.I feel like people go online and buy an AR chambered in 5.56 as flippantly as they buy a burger or a case of beer
and that is why I own a Kalashnikova, komradeI'll take proven several times in the real world over theoretical charts and graphs any day.
This is an infallible argument I can never recover from, look what you've done to me.You seem pretty sure of yourself for a noob.
