At this point just skip guns completely. About everything on that list has a 1/3rd chance of exploding, NaN MOA, or a built in shake-to-wake functionality
the only gun i'd shoot that shit out of is a nice solid falling block. Ruger No. 1 or winchester 1885. probably not even then for fear of cracking the stock.
My father and I killed a bunch down on Lake okeechobee. rifles, knifes and boar spears work well. the hounds corner them in thickets and you go in a stick em.
I'm assuming you emailed him at admin@forgottenweapons.com or sent him a message on Patreon while subscribed to the tier that lets you pick the subject of a video?
to be completely fair, a Hi Point carbine that had decent mags can offer some reasonable self-defense options for someone bugging in an apartment building.
You couldn't pay me to take that ammo, I'm amazed people keep clamoring for it over new production when it's not even that cheap.
People hate Kel-Tec because there's no resale value. Because that makes sense for a carry gun.
Alright let me settle the fuddlore.
Is this more goldilocks bullshit? .308 is too heavy, 5.56 doesn't hit hard enough type of min-maxing? Or another boondoggle like .277 fury?
6.5 Creedmor has a much better ballistic coefficient than .308 and is therefore more accurate and carries more energy at range. It’s also not a meme cartridge and is very popular on the civilian market.
How often are you losing carry guns to evidence lockers? The cost of the gun is the least of your worries if you have to use it.
If a cheaper tool can do the job sufficiently and you can afford it, it's a pretty logical thing to have interest in. Carrying a pistol can subject it to jostling against random objects, holster wear, and the elements, especially if you're going to be on a boat, riding a bike, running, hiking, or some other thing besides just walking around developed spaces in common comfortable clothing. There are a lot of reasons why someone might want a cheaper and more disposable carry option. It's no different than having a work knife that you beat to death so that you aren't constantly putting wear on much nicer knives.
I’m talking about the price difference between a Glock and a Keltec. I would trust a Glock to work and be able to train with regularly, which is something I wouldn’t trust a Keltec to do.
I just watched a bodycam video where an officer was viciously stabbed to death, a bystander with a P320 aired out the junkie responsible. I wouldn't buy either pistol personally, but I think it's a pretty minor gripe compared to the bodies in question. Maybe I'd get a Shield Plus in that spot instead.
The Glock costs as much as it does due to marketing suggesting it be priced higher to avoid being the Kel-Tec in this conversation. I don't disagree with the cost, mainly because it's now cheaper than half the sensible carry options out there, but it was a reputational value over practical at the time.
That’ll make it lighter because you only need one battery for the whole rifle instead of a battery per accessory. The weight is also all in the stock, which'll make it balance better as well.The Army is looking for innovative new ways to make the XM-7 even heavier than it already is
