Why would you prefer a short range rifle like the M5? Yeah, the 14 inch barrel seems handy, but for what exactly? A .308 with a 16" barrel that never overheats and shoots flat as a pancake seems like the weapon of choice to me.
FTR, I like the Creedmoor too so don't take it as a slam on their rounds.
Why? Because,
theoretically speaking, of course ...
I'm
not reaching out to shoot Mikey --
as he claims I'm going to do, repeatedly, along with the Cabal/KAnon here -- from afar, at least 300m, as he unsuspectingly walking to his car.
I'm turning corners and engaging mass killings at short-range, so I want a SBR with a powerful punch to kill, as much as wound and maime. That's why special units and forces use such instrumentes too, even the 6.8SPC (.277) in an AR short action.
Again,
not my bag, Just
'putting it out there,' because Mikey wants DHS et al
. 'notified' about me. If I was going to do it, I'm
not using an AR/.223, I'm using a PCC or SBR with a ****ing huge cross-section!
And a PCC with recoil mitigation like the KRISS Vector in 10mm at full power with JHP would be best. But ...
If I've
'gotta' use something that is
'style scary' to maximize infamy, like the US Mass and Social Media uses to get views, clicks and billions of dollars in revenue ... I'll take the 6.8/.277 in the M5 or another SBR option.
Heck, I'd probably even take an M1927/Tommy Gun in .45 ACP over a AR/.223, despite the issues. And atop of all that ...
The US Mass and Social Media would probably still put up an AR silhouette even if I used a Vector or Tommy too!
... When you've got a guy like shuckster that thinks the 5.56 is a super dooper powerful round
I stopped even responding because he's not even a challenge. I can insult his lack of knowledge and he thinks he's
'won,' when he's only discredited himself.
He's our resident Goron ... a former Reagan Republican ... that came out of the '90s with blind defense of Al Gore and the like, to the hypocritical level, for anyone who knows Gore and his overstate. H'es the original. Only Ninja is far worse, but he shouldn't be.
and a guy like Biden thinking that the 9mm are as dangerous as guns get, we have quite a bit of room to make fun of them ...
Biden is the new Trump ... he takes a modicum of what his is told, and misuses it.
Of course a 9mm, let alone larger cross-section, Hollow Point (HP) will obliterate any organs that it manages to reach with most of its remaining energy ... that's why we talk
'hydrostatic shock' with humans, being we are 95% water!
But to say its high power and other things ... it kinda a joke.
It really depends on how something penetrates, and with what energy, but more important ... what it hits. Even a .308 FMJ will sometimes pass through someone, and not leave much of an exit wound ... all depending.
Then you've got a guy like Mike that has literally said he would probably have killed someone if he owned a gun and we have more proof that gun control isn't necessary because those that know guns don't commit crimes with them.
Mikes literally pushes the limits of everyone here ... and I think he's even seeing what he can do without being banned.
