Years ago, there was some Guard troop on a local radio show. He was saying that he carried an M-16A2 in the sandbox, by preference. He said one young troop once said “Lemme have a look at that musket, Pops.”

Those Russians sure love their artillery!

Heck, I’ll take one of their old WWII Katusha trucks!

“Doesn’t seem like a practical round to me”

Its not. Its slow and doesn’t hit that hard.

"I carry an A-10 Warthog because I can’t carry a cop."

The 30mm GAU-8 is the ultimate PDW (except for the part about it being 20 feet long and weighing 600 lbs).

There are parts of my body that are 20 feet long and weigh 600 lbs.

” He was saying that he carried an M-16A2”

Optics is a great thing to have but so is that iron sighted no-nonsense 20” barrel A2. Everyone should have one.

I have 2 Class III AR-15s; one is a 14” SBR w/ Suppressor, the other is a 20” w/ Suppressor. Good for CQT (Close Quarters Tactical) fighting.

for msot situations yes, however 300 AAC suppressed is actually pretty awesome, subsonic rounds are super quiet and even standard velocity with a suppressor is a whole loto harder to zero in on location.

Pretty accurate too

Know a lot former military and contractors and nearly all of them say the people with the best chances when/if things totally go to shit will be running suppressed weapons, NODS, and doing their business in the dark-—can’t disagree with them.

B in the hands of Kenny G is an assault weapon...

"In a shocking video shown today, famed musician Kenny G aimed his Assault Rifle at the audience!"

As a retired Army and Air Force vet, I must say I was taken aback to see something so woke and perverse associated with my Devil Dog brethren.
