    Do you have any need for a shotgun or is the carbine superior in your mind?

    In the Navy I trained on M14's topside, M500 and M9 below decks as they are easier to maneuver than the M14. As a civilian I like the AR as it is short and with 75 gr TAP I like the ammo.

    M240 vs. M60

    Never had a problem with a 60 from 2002-2005 many many rounds downrange in a saltwater environment. 240 is too heavy and can break some the pintle mounts used shipboard. Navy doent really use 5.56 at sea either.

    Why are we our own worst enemy?

    So what about us military or private security guys, we can use guns to defend them but our own families are cannon fodder. that is hypocrisy on a grand scale, but then again Feinstein had a carry permit.
