One doesn't even NEED to speak with the person, but better self defense would mean one isn't even in that poor situation in the first place.

His rank doesn't impact whether he's correct. As far as CCW holders go, how well can they draw when someone is in their face or attacking them? Not just for a gun but also for a knife, I find it amusing that so many people think their folding knife is a legit self-defense tool, if you can't...

Regarding the Muay Thai instructor's attitude, for anyone that is offended, why? Is it because he's incorrect or because he's quite correct.

LoonWulf, How much heavier have you gone in terms of bullet weight? Thanks

The ammo we had in stock was soon used up in training, so why is it not a good idea to use ammo that allows for a smaller rifle that uses less material and costs less, along with ammo that uses less material as well? That's aside from the fact that soldiers could have more rounds in the gun and...

First off, why would there be increased muzzle blast? One can have a bullpup that is the same overall length as a short M4, so the barrel is the same distance away from the shooter's face, the bullpup just allows more barrel length to burn powder, so if anything they should suffer less from...

Shawn, From the accounts of soldiers that use bullpups I haven't heard complaints about mag changes, they might complain about reliability, especially in the case of the Brit L85, and the round ejecting right into one's face is an issue, but mag changes aren't. Apparently just practicing the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBbJhv39IUM Shawn, I think those concerns are way overblown, this guy seems to change mags just fine. Also, suppose you are correct in that the bullpup reload is slower, the bullpup is going to send bullets quicker given the same barrel length and will likely...

Part of these issues could be alleviated by replacing the M4 with rifle like the Keltec RFB. http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/rfb.htm It's shorter than the M4 and has a lot more barrel, making the 5.56 ammo more lethal. If you really wanted to increase lethality you'd go the bullpup route and...

Sighted fire is just as fast, and often faster, if scoring solid hits is your goal. Maybe "being sure of your target" is not a priority for everyone, but it is for me. 1) Sorry but this simply is not true, to bring a pistol to eye level from the hip is a greater distance then firing from the...

Would this be considered "point shooting"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ieWrWLjii0

I wonder if wearing a pirate patch on one eye could correct it

Pack, What kind of ammo did that thing shoot? thanks

I'm mainly looking to see how much one will gain by going up to a 24 inch barrel from a 20 using common loads. A range buddy claimed to have clocked his standard 62 grainers at 3450fps coming out of his Bushmaster varminter, which seems pretty amazing.

Does anyone know of ballistics data of various 5.56 loads from a 24 inch barrel? Thanks

Still no better subsitute than a simple, regular DI AR15. The Chinese rifle might not be better today but could very well be better later on, trying new things and making improvements is what leads to innovation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ieWrWLjii0 If this guy can smack around beetles with a slingshot, not sighting at all but rather just using his body to aim, why can't people effectively use a pistol to hit center of mass on a bad guy? thanks

It should be legal, not only is it a great means for hot heads to deal with their issues without innocent bystanders getting hurt but I think you'd see people being more polite as well.

The Sig 550 is very AK based and is also plenty accurate, if one could chamber a 550 in 6.8spc you'd probably be doing pretty good.

Evil Monkey, It makes the logistics of supplying your army a lot easier when you don't need to ship them as many magazines. Dropping mags might be fine when competing in gun games in AZ but in deep snow and mud it's an issue.
