Wow.....And to wonder why some people in this country don't want us to have guns......

I wonder what elevation he was at, because I've heard that was one of the big advantages Rob Furlong had when he made his shot. Plus a 300 grain bullet even at 600-700 fps is nothing to sneeze at....

Certainly better than nothing, but I wouldn't say a whole lot better than a baseball bat depending on your stature. It seems to me that someone who breaks into your house, and forces you to use deadly force to stop them are already quite motivated, so a mediocre response might not be in your...

Our government might be silly at times, but they are certainly not stupid. If FN or Colt was ripping them off, they will notice, and they will get their money back. I'm pretty sure that the different designs for every maker out there really hurts the cost effectiveness of the AR-10. How much...

I think this needs to go to mythbusters....even though their methods are a little weird, it'd be cool to watch....again... and again.

I wasn't aware that anyone was even making new ar180s right now. It'd be kinda cool considering the ar18 was the original "anti AR", that seems to be the rage right now.

I'm just guessing, but it might have also had a little bit to do with countries simply trying to "keep up with the joneses" so to speak. Whoever could shoot farther during the late 1800s, early 1900s seemed to have a pretty big advantage with the tactics employed during that era, so who wanted...

Ask anyone over 50 to respond to that one, and certainly if they lived behind the Iron Curtain. Excellent point, and maybe if the operator is effective at taking care of their weapon system, their weapon system will be effective in taking care of them! The point I was making is that not all...

Great job, you connected the AK to a supersonic fighter jet, what would you connect to the American F15 eagle, which has never been shot down? And failure to hit a target doesn't score anymore points than a design that is underestimated in its reliability. Plus, isn't it a little disconcerting...

well, the laws are clearly stated, so if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Also there are no diseases, or cases where medical marijuana is the sole medication. There are other federally legal substitutes that would not limit his "rights", he's just trying to have his cake and...

Well, making a new one for the p-02 is kinda like re-inventing the wheel. The part obviously works on the other gun, so why do more especially with the chance the new one could have problems with it?

@ Coal, those are perfectly logical arguments, but if someone was going to purpose using a new cartridge, they have to scientifically prove that it can penetrate barriers better at all the ranges they are planning on using it at (0 to 500 yards in this case) and prove that it is more effective...

^^^ you do have a point there, but how does that equate to needing a new cartridge with more momentum at 500 yards than a .223 but less than a .308? And what happens when more bullets are needed? And would a .308/6.8 SPC/etc etc suppress enemy combatants better than a .223? Yes, and we can...

I never said I was going to battle, or that I wanted the .22LR. I was referring to the comparison the author made between the two cartridges in stock in the U.S. military (5.56x45 NATO, and 7.62x51 NATO) and the newer, "more potent" cartridges. If the author wanted to make a case for a longer...

Well, its pretty interesting that they say 50% of engagements occur outside of 300 yards, so that must mean 50% occur within 300 yards, which logically means we need to change our main rifles so deal with the 50% past 300 yards in Afghanistan. :rolleyes: The author failed to note that the U.S...

WHO CARES!?!?!?! Worry about yourself and your hobbies and I'll worry about me and my hobbies.

There are cheaper guns out there. The prices can be inflated by buyers and sellers, but at the end of the day, its up to the gun company to decide if what profit they are pulling in can keep them afloat. And with the amount of gun dealers, its pretty hard for one dealer to inflate the prices...

just a few questions about that chart.... 1) who made it, are they reliable sources for information and data? 2) what exactly is incapacitation time... how do they measure it, how do they get an average? how do they check/correct for error? 3) what is the ballistic pressure wave? Where are they...

If there are buyers, there will always be sellers. I doubt that these guys will get caught, over 1 million cars are stolen every year in the U.S. and those have VIN numbers on them, and the vast majority of them are never recovered.

Then throw in all the different types of steel, and the different processes to make a frame, along with all the different polymers and their respective processes... and then your head explodes. Glocks have been around a while, and a few other polymer guns have been tested quite extensively, so...
