How about 100 guys with a Marlin/Glenfield Model 60, especially with an inexpensive scope and 1,000 rounds a piece? They’re nowhere near the price of an AR.
I agree, but only because I have never been a fan of handguns in any capacity. I can’t think of one scenario where a handgun improves my odds. Yes, LR22 beats 9mm, everytime and twice on Sunday.
