Why wouldn’t it be good for target practice?
I guess I didn't think it would be good for practice because it's not the weapon you're actually going to be using, whether to protect yourself or to hunt. My son, who now works with SAWs and other serious things, was just having fun with it in the basement. It certainly -looks- like a serious weapon of the type that liberals hate and fear, however, and if some wicked sinner came in the back door and saw that facing him, he would probably reconsider any nefarious purpose he had. ;-) Nonetheless, I prefer "real" guns and I want to practice with them until they feel like part of me.
