First impressions usually stick with you....that being said, the first AR I shot was in basic training in the Air Force. I detested it then and I really don't like it any better now. Just my opinion.
A short barreled revolver has less mass(weight) and a long barreled revolver tends to soak up the recoil to a point. My 686 Smith has a 6" barrel and it smacks hard. My 44Mag Ruger single action has a 7.5" barrel that pushes on ignition. Heavy bench rest rifles hardly recoil at all with small...
Looked for one at the local gun show this past weekend. No such luck..... all of the dealers

My best guess about the carrying of backpacks is strictly for effect. Kinda like your favorite TV hunter carrying one when he never ventures further than 10 yards from his pickup.
