It's an AR-15 clone made by DPMS. With a heavy, cryo-accurized superbull barrel on it and a left handed ejection port on it, it is amazingly accurate for the price tag. The thing is an inordinate amount of fun to shoot. Period.
Also, if things ever do fall apart, at least I'd have the capacity to sling a lot of lead.
You've got to understand, you don't own self-defense tools in the hope that you have to use them. Same as seat belts. You don't wear one in the hope that you will get in an accident. You do so because if you do find yourself in a bad situation, NOTHING ELSE WILL WORK QUITE AS WELL TO PRESERVE YOUR HIDE.
I appreciate it.
