They are excellent guns, I've put custom sites on mine making it pretty darn accurate without a scope. With FMJ ammo I've fired rounds through 1/4 inch steel plate at 50 yards. And don't worry , as a man stopper, I'd like to see anyone get up after getting hit properly with a .223. If you would like to get an idea of the energy transfer of a .223 round get a 5 gallon bucket and fill it with motor oil then get back about 50 feet at least and fire one round. The bucket will literally explode from the transfer of energy. I've done this with pistol rounds and a .45-70 rifle and none of these had even close to the effect. Plus .223 ammo is alot cheaper than .308. Mini 14's are also alot easier to clean and maintain compared to an AR-15 and alot cheaper. To round out your arsenal I would recommend a 12 gauge pump and a Colt 1911 pistol.

Yeah, I have those. I think the .223 round is sufficient for its intended purpose. What do you think of softpoints in this round?
