Bought an AR Lower
Ok, no more freeloading on other people's firearms. (Or, let's go with less.) Time to exercise some rights. While I have precious little easy/play money, I did buy a Rifle Gear (OEM'd by Mega) AR lower on Black Friday. When I went to pick it up with my brother, he bought me a Daniel Defense trigger group.

I was just yanking your chain man. My iron is yours for the lending. I'll also help you with the assembly.

:smack: On a side note, after the 5.56 and interested in the 300 Blackout as a harder hitting cost effective round. I also like it because there are subsonic rounds available, and combined with a silencer are actually silent. Could be a good HD weapon. We have rabbits and chinchillas as pets and super loud noises freak them out. Obviously I hope to never . . . ever, pull the trigger in self defense, but I'd be pretty upset if any of my pets died from heart attacks from loud noises. Other things likely up, depending on money. 9mm or .45 Remington 870 |
I like my .45 and my 870 :p

I love my 870 aswell. I still want to get a M14 and a 1911 but they are a little to much $$$ right now.

As for bouncing off skulls, any handgun load is sub-optimal. You guys might find this site to be fascinating as it tests and debunks a lot of commonly held ideas. One that's fascinating is that an AR can be a good HD weapon because while it is very high velocity/energy, the round is small and fragments severely on impact with nearly anything, imparting most all of its energy to that object. http://www.theboxotruth.com/ |
I guarantee you a .45 isnt gonna bounce off anything. Even HD loads are still going to make very large holes in an person. The .223 isnt a bad HD round i just think there are better choices, new homes now a days the walls arent thick enough to completely stop the round, not the case with shot guns.
IIRC when we tested the .223 on the dry wall test walls it still went through 2 walls and tumbled into the 3rd. Rarely did the shot shells make it through the first wall. |
