Well... at least I know where to go to resupply in an end of the world situation, all the guys with AK's housed cuz they all got picked off by all the guys with AR's

Easily, they hire a dumbass marketing company to do the slick and ask a desk jockey to proof it!

Im pretty sure for traffic violations they cannot do anything outside the jurisdiction of their own town. Of course if they are a statey that doesnt apply, or county sheriff. That or Ive been extremely lucky when the LE of one town tailed the shit out of me and I went up on one or blasted off after crossing the border :twisted:

My LMT MWS It has the broadest spectrum of usefullness. Great reliability Energy on Target 7 to 800yd capable BUT if it were zombies.... my choice would be different!

My spidey senses tell me Glenn's gonna pop open a "you can only grab one" thread next :shock:

I shoot both eyes open for all disciplines. For Tactical Rifle and Combat handgun it is of course the standard. Field of view is one of the key advantages. However, in tactical rifle to be able to use certain optics platforms to full advantage and employ BAC you HAVE to be able to shoot both eyes open. It doesnt work if you dont. BUT for precision rifle(with optics), I have heard valid arguments 1st hand from top top TOP people both ways. I shoot PR both eyes open, my buddy whome has a loong laundry list of accomplishments including a slotted sniper and LE sniper trainer shoots one eye closed for PR, both open for all else.

Ill tell ya what, I know its not sword vs rifle but after some of the things shown on that show Deadliest Warrier, Id rather take a shot from an AK than get hit or stabbed with some of those swords!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And swords have killed more than both AK and AR combined..... I dont think the AR has to prove anything at this point. It is a pretty evolved design. The M4 myth article I referenced earlier is from a person whos seen more rifles in theater than this group has probably ever seen..... and Glenn, does the body count really "count" when so much of it is tribe on tribe???? :mrgreen:

Well we have our own dance called the pogo stick Similer in execution without the boot hehe. Ill tell ya, Sometimes I check at matches. The bolt is so quick that if I dont see that flash of brass, I get worried the timer will go off and Ill go CLICK! So I do a little visual and bump the FA. Ive done it on my XCR and my FAL too which are more AK like than AR like.

Well heres one example. Its a night op. The operator is about to engage. He wants to double check to make sure he has a round in battery. He pulls back on the charging handle a bit and sticks a finger in there to ensure a round and eases it foward to keep from amking noise. He pushes on the foward assist to insure the bolt is all the way foward and in battery. AK's have foward assist too! Yours is just part of the bolt

It was mutiple gunmen with LOTS of mags :twisted: As for foward assist, I love it. But I use it correctly and as intended :roll:

On the topic of mags that is a KEY issue why I dont dig AK's. I cant stand the hing in method of inserting a mag. It is the reason that I sold my DSA SA58c FAL. GREAT RIFLE!!!! I just cant run the OS AK's dont have BHO either correct?

INTERESTINGLY I recieved an AAR on a massive firefight across the border. The evidence at the scene seemed to indicate there was a problem with AK mags. The AAR focused on this specifically. Lets just say that on that day in that event, the boys with ak's succumbed to the boys with ar's in a REALLY REALLY BAD way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To sum up Brother BBK's statement, dont fear my rifle, fear me for I am the weapon :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

What are you focusing on, the target or your front site? Are you sure your right eye dominant?

I choose AR. The myths of the AR unreliability are just that in my opinion. The flexability of the AR platform is superb. NV,LD,Optics swaps even caliber changes, all easily within the operational capabilities of the platform. And accuracy, dont forget accuracy. Theres a metric ton of AAR's of the superior accuracy and its effects on the battle field. Anyone remember the execution inquiry in Falujah because the Marines got so many headshots? Anyone remember the Blackwater detail on the roof engaging at 800 meters with confirmed kills? http://www.defensereview.com/the-big-m4 ... nreliable/ http://www.defensereview.com/colt-m4-ca ... tographer/ IF I had to equip an army of conscripts or pressed into service war fighters with little training I WOULD ABSOLUTELY equip them with AK's. Its truly supurb in that role. Its not what I would choose for myself. The Brits held trials attended by HK with their 417 and FN with the SCAR17s and the LMT MWS (a direct gas impingement gun). The LMT won and from what I hear this included winning in reliability!!! Am I biesed, maybe. I seem to own the AR platform more than anything else. But Id bet my XCR is just a reliable too. But in that ownership is a prime example of its flexability. I have an AR thats good for over a 1000 yds I have an AR thats great for 5 to 500, handy as hell and ready for anything that needs to be mounted to it. I have an AR thats all set up for 5 to 800 with the ability to bring greater energy to the target.

AK's have their place...... for conscripts

Or another barrel and a wrench

bbk, thats great news! I felt confident enough that it was a comp that I bought one but didnt post about it because I didnt want to lead anyone down a wrong path inadvertantly. Havent tried it yet though, waiting on Jersey Legal mags

Ken, heres the one rub, at least for me. If that is the ONLY way you ever deploy your shotty then whatever works best for you is fine. But if you use it in other scenarios that have you putting the safety on, then it could become an issue. In high stress as you noted motor skills start to crumble BUT what also happens is you default to your training subcontiously. So you will likely do what you always do. So if you shoot skeet a lot and have to come off safe at the beginning of each round, in a bad situation at home you run the risk of causing yourself a mental burp when you automatically go to take off the safety and you cant because its already off. So obviously I am a fan of doing it the same way every time across the board. When I draw my 1911, I dont even have to think about the safety anymore, its on autopilot. This is also why I am a big fan of same platforms. I sold an HK USP compact for this very reason. Having different controls totally fubared me running that pistol. Shane

So with one in each hand how do you pump either. Gotta think ahead Ray, zombies, remember!

RAY, Ray, ray...... tell that to the RSO when he kicks yer ass off the line for not being on safe! Someone better versed in the action of a 500/870 can indicate what internal safeties may or may not exist in these shotguns but I would bet the comparison you just made is apples to oranges. I also prefer the lack of the flap in the mossy. I dont care for the plastic trigger housing of the remington. With that being said, the differences are very small, Id grab whichever was closer to me on the table if I had to grab and go...... Whatch the vid. At the shotgun stage it was MANDATORY that it be on safe on the table.

Im not a scattergun expert or even a novice. In fact the only reason I even own one is because I need it for 3 gun competition. With that being said, the mossy 500 has done everything of it I have asked. Which honestly isnt a lot but it does the job. The 590 A1 has recieved very very good reviews from what I have read. I may upgrade to the 590 at some point but its not a priority. 870 is good as well but some of the features of the 500/590 I like better. Namely the position of the safety.

That is correct, the HK P7 series should not have lead used in it as it is a true gas operated pistol. Heres my thoughts on the subject: Well, my opinion is this. I think hard cast lead is easier on a barrel but more of a pain to clean. I honstly think if you shoot enough of either to really affect a barrel, you shoot so much that a barrel is insignificant to you. I guess maybe because im getting to be an old fart Ive actually started to worry about things like handling lead. So for my reloads I have gone to copper plated bullets from Ranier. The lead is entirely encapsulated. It also helps if you shoot indoors so you dont have to worry so much about airborne lead vapors and such. The hard cast bullets I used to use were from CP Bullet. I never really noticed any difference in accuracy but the type of shooting I do is more speed than accuracy. With that being said these bullets from Ranier, well....Im getting one ragged holes at 10 yds for 10 shots with them! I think the plated bullets are a good inbetween. They are a little softer than FMJ, better to handle than lead, and pretty close to lead cast as far as price. It only cost me 112 for 1000 for .45 acp. I hope this helps answer your question.
