You can't really go wrong with either imo. You'll pay a premium for either name. The thing about a lot of ARs is that most makers are actually just assemblers. Companies that you have and haven't heard of make most parts to spec for assemblers. Ol' Bendy Bill Geisselle is a big fat bitch too. I will keep buying his match triggers tho.
I am a proud member of the 1st TSG and Lt. Sparks is a visionary.
A buddy just went LEO and at marksmanship training they had them fire air tasers to show how ineffective they are. This dude seems awesome.
How does he expect that to work? Just wear a leather jacket over your Gendron approved Kevlar vest (but under your chest rig of course) and keep moving. How does he expect both probes to make good contact? If one hits your neck, the other would probably hit your helmet or vest. If one hits your arm the other probably goes into your vest or misses, same with legs. Groin-groin or groin-leg is probably your best bet, but how is a robot going to do that?
You see the impervious to fuck-ups police will operate the drones, when gunshots are detected/a panic button is pressed the drone will immediately be activated and a Police Officer who is constantly on standby (and thus staring at a screen all day doing fuck all else waiting for some schizo to shoot up a school) will take control of the drone and taze the shit out of them until they stop being so naughty .Never mind that to make this work 100% of the time you will need to perfect gunshot detection technology to the point where it can be accurate at a room level. Speaking of rooms you would also need to install these drones in every single room with doors, drones cannot exactly phase through doors and and shooters can easily close them. Never mind that the shooter could just shoot his stupid fucking drones.
Tasers suck, period. Waste of fucking space.
I don't think most people realize how situational tasers are. The target can't be too close, too far, or wearing thick clothing, both probes need to hit the target in an area of relatively dense muscle tissue (so not in the side or on loose flaps of skin), and sometimes, especially on the agitated delirium/drugged up targets that you want to stop the most, it just doesn't work anyway.
Just use pepper spray when the taser fails, duh. It's not like part of getting OC qualed in the military is getting sprayed and then fighting people.
In my experience they barely ever work because like you said, junkies have retard strength and cannot feel pain, they catch on clothing, etc. Then you get that very rare situation you tase someone with heart issues and ohhhhh boy if they fucking buy the farm on that.
Yeah, OC ain’t shit in either spray or gascan. It only takes the fight out of you if you weren’t very motivated to start with. Once that CS cloud starts rolling in though, it’s mask up or GTFO. Can’t fight if you can’t breathe.
What do you have in mind for your use case? You just want to fuck around? Self defense? Military larp? A case can be made for anything but the utilitarian choices would be a 9mm Glock, a reputable AR-15 brand, and a reliable 12 gauge.
All home defense and range. If I ever decide to go hunting I'll probably pick something up just for that.
I haven't really checked ammo prices recently but 9mm is one of the calibers hit hardest by panic buying and anything that isn't marked up %300 disappears instantly whenever political things happen. 10mm being a less common cartridge to begin with doesn't seem to suffer that curse with anywhere near the severity of 9mm, and it's muzzle energy is very close to .45. Consider a colt delta elite, or a glock model 40 if you don't want to spend $2000.
Is the handgun also for home defense or do you plan to carry it in you?
I personally wouldn't consider meme rounds like 10mm or .357 Sig if you're serious.
Rifle is best for the home, if you want a pistol neither neither of those are bad choices. If/when you come back to the states I wouldn't leave home without a smaller handgun to conceal carry, considering how many insane people dislike you.
