Glock 19 and a pocket full of mags.

The Jihadis had AK’s and RPG’s.

Better than nothing, but just imagine what he could have accomplished with an M14, or even a shotgun.

There’s a lesson there.

“Better than nothing, but just imagine what he could have accomplished with an M14, or even a shotgun.”

In close quarters, such as in a house, with doors and hallways and several bad guys wanting to get to you and your family, an M14 would be more of a liability than an asset. A short-barreled shotgun would be better, but still not optimal. A Glock 19 would be a better platform under those circumstances (15 rounds in the mag and 1 in the pipe; and a quick magazine change); though being a good shot is critical.
