I recently viewed a depressing video that is making the rounds on social media. Long story short, a man fires a Ruger PC carbine at a different man who was arguing with him about his significant other. He was instantly killed and dropped quickly, producing a lot of hemorrhaging.
Gruesome and sad as it was, it drove home the fact these 9mm carbines do not seem to be the toys some think they are. It was highly effective. I am assuming it was a 9mm as it appeared to have a 33 round Glock extended magazine. It was this specific model I believe:
What was also interesting is a woman whom was filming the altercation did not initially appear overtly concerned when they man opened fire on the other. Statements are saying due to the surprisingly quiet nature of the firearm she did not think it was a real gun, and instead though it a paintball or similar gun.
The rifle was not suppressed, and this brings up how much less noise is created from a 9mm out of a 16” rifle barrel vs a 5.56mm carbine or a shotgun. That’s never a bad thing for long term hearing health as well as not deafening oneself indoors.
What is everyone’s thoughts on these guns for home defense? While their range and power is limited, it appears for within 50 yards to be a pretty formidable option with low recoil and low noise signature.
Thoughts?
