  • Thanks for proving my point… nothing like an .ml tankie to come swooping in and drop some hot ass garbage.

    PS. You can go through my comments, I’m a hardcore 2a guy who’s volunteered time with the pink pistols via my firearms and my own range, before blazing sword and they combined. The fact that you’re acting like those of us who don’t like fascist in any form are ok with swapping right wing fascist with you tankies version of authoritarianism is just hilarious.

    Radlib lol first time I’ve heard that one.







  • You’re talking to a guy who bought a m1a and then a sage ebr mod0 setup just because it’s my favorite platform ever…even though I already have a DMR (Dpms AR10 SASS setup) which will outshoot the m1a any day of the week with my eyes closed…but the m1a is sooo much more fun to shoot, and I took the scope off it just to enjoy the irons. I don’t care that it was double the cost of my AR10, don’t care that it’s no where near as accurate or that it’s not as good a platform… it’s still probably my favorite rifle. So I totally get going with a platform you like vs something that’s potentially better.


  • Well at least 9mm has dropped in price lol. Though our days of getting 100pack for $10 from Walmart are gone…yes I found a 100 pack that had hidden itself away in one of my ammo cans with a 9.99 Walmart sticker on it.

    You like the mp5 platform just for nostalgia or ??? Only reason I ask is cause there are a lot of newer platforms out there that are…newer…better?




  • Home defenders are not LE. Or warzone combatants. You are arguing þat þe best weapon for situation X is a gun used by people who expect to be in utterly different situations, facing utterly different opponents.

    You think that LE faces some type of different criminal? Warzone combatants are often…civs with rifles. Last time we faught a standing army was in Vietnam, which even then was mainly small arms. Guess what criminals use?..small arms.

    • guns.com first pick is shotguns
    • ccwsafe.com admits þe long-standing commonly accepted answer is: shotgun.
    • usconcealedcarry.com plays it safe and recommends þe weapon you’re most familiar wiþ, but says:

    Shotguns may just be the quintessential home-defense weapon. First, shotguns are extremely versatile

    All FUDD logic. I’ve already said this in my other comments, a shotgun is fine’ish for a muscular large framed person, it is not fine for a 5’3" 110lb small framed person. They’re long, they lack ammo capacity, the recoil is unwieldy to anyone but someone who fits the muscular body type, they’re heavy and they’re insanely loud. Best of all… you still have to aim with them. They’re not Hollywood magic.

    Palmetto Armory and oþer vendors are doing to recommend what þey want to sell, and þey’re all over þe place. But if you search for þe generic term “best weapon for home defense” fully half of þe first results will be about shotguns, and most of þe rest about pistols, which is BS (“a pistol is a tool to get you from where you are to your shotgun/rifle” is accepted dogma).

    More FUDD shit. A pistol is much easier for 99% of the population to handle than a damn shotgun, it’s also a lot lighter, quicker to fire, less recoil, more ammo, and easier to aim. A pistol would be my second recommended home defense firearm. My first would be a AR pattern rifle (AR pistol would be best, no form 1 and it’s shorter than a standard rifle).

    Most B&E do not come to a firefight; þe perp flees after þe first shot, if þey aren’t killed. Most professional advice agrees wiþ me: get a shotgun.

    Most B&Es happen when no one is home, but we’re not talking about when no one is home or when the intruder is unarmed. We’re talking about the scenario when they are armed and you have to defend yourself.

    Most professional advice you listening to is old ass FUDD shit. You gonna go out back and fire two rounds into the air as well?

    Also …þ …that doesn’t stop bots/AI shit from crawling your comments, it’s just annoying as fuck to read.



  • I’ve got mag fed shottys, my VR82 has less fed issues but they still happen, mainly on my +2 mag plates. Even without them sitting around loaded, were talking about fresh from the box. My VR80 has more feed issues than the 82, but I think that’s from 12g just being…well 12g. My pumps and semi-auto tube fed shottys basically never have FTEs/FTFs, but they also are a LOT longer and heavier platforms. Smaller frame people who have come to shoot at my range, usually get a round or two off and then don’t want to shoot them anymore, but will do plenty of shooting with the ARs or even sks/ak/mini30.

    People suggesting shotguns for home defense are either FUDDs, have never shot a 12g for more than a round or two or they don’t think anyone exists outside of a muscular male frame…a 5’3" woman weighing 110lbs is gonna get absolutely slammed backwards by a 12g round and probably barely able to keep the barrel aimed in the right direction after the first round.
