[QUOTE="COLT, post: 266088, member: 1351"] OK.... I was going to bed and skimmed over this thread and could not help my self. I had to get out of bed to get to the PC.. Before I start, let me tell you a little about my self. I was in the Military for 4 years 8 months and 13 days... (not that i was counting) Not a long time to most standards, but almost 3 years of it was in Iraq. My main weapon was a COLT M16A2 Rifle. I love the AR platform weapons. They are a lot of fun to shoot and extremely dependable for the buck! I am pro-gun and own quite a few firearms myself. I to have a nice little SHTF collection, But it does not include an AR. The AR was not designed for the kind of use that it is being used for today. It is primarily a long range weapon and is utterly useless in close combat. While it has a fair amount of firepower it is still not that powerfull. I realize that the M4 has brought the size down a lot, but it is still to big. In my opinion a BULLPUP style weapon is a much better choice for a doomsday type scenario. OK guys, this is where you are going to start to hate me... I believe in my experience there is no reason for a common citizen to own an assault weapon. They are designed for one purpose and one purpose only...to kill and kill well Before you crucify me allow me to say one thing. I completely support your right to own one. It is your choice and your right to protect your self and your family. This is just my opinion. The main reason I feal this way is seeing all these weekend warriors with a godzillion BS gadgets strapped to the side of there AR style weapons...what a joke...
