Gun 'style' in the media

my opinion is based on firing lots of various weapons. a semi automatic high capacity firearm allows an untrained person to kill more people than a manual loading 5-7 round firearm.
you sound like someone who sees the writing on the wall.
allows an untrained person to kill more people than a flint lock black powder rifle...
and this is the kind of attitude that will guarantee the anti gun people's eventual success. the all or nothing approach will not survive the social outpouring right now. until you acknowledge a semi auto rifle is more lethal than a shotgun all YOU are doing is agreeing with the anti gun people. you are implying all guns are the same.
like i have said i do not own a semi automatic rifle...if they are reclassified as a class 3 firearm i could care less. commit a crime with it and life in prison. if they come for my rifle i will hide it and be a criminal. i could really care less.
it is not a bad thing to admit they are more lethal than a shotgun. it does not make you less a man. it also does not make you more of a man to own one.
even trump understands this. his calling out the NRA is absolutely nothing more than distancing his party from the NRA so they don't get voted out this midterm. you know he has a deal worked out with the NRA regarding his comments.
Oh my bad, you've pulled a couple of triggers so you're a fucking expert. Kind of like Rep. Giffords is now an expert on gun violence because she got shot?
Just this statement "a semi automatic high capacity firearm allows an untrained person to kill more people than a manual loading 5-7 round firearm." proves how willfully ignorant you are or firearms. Three revolvers (I'll do the math for you so you don't have to take your shoes off) is 18 dead people in a crowded hallway. "if they are reclassified as a class 3 firearm i could care less. commit a crime with it and life in prison. if they come for my rifle i will hide it and be a criminal. i could really care less."
Everything you post proves you are a special kind of stupid.
wow!
3 revolvers at the same time. were you delta or team six?
good try. 15 rounds versus 6 rounds, fumble for the next revolver, 6 rounds fumble for the next revolver, 6 rounds fumble for the next revolver
you're right 3 revolvers are more efficient than a semi automatic firearm with a 15 round magazine.
shit man, you are the one that argues 5-7 rounds is more than 15 rounds. that is simple math. 15 is greater than 5 or 7. you are right, i am stupider than you.

There are still very bad situations in which, given a side-by-side choice, someone would choose the revolver. They're not likely to happen here, but they exist. They're not as obsolete as people would have you believe.
That said, it would be foolish to argue that an AR or other semi-auto doesn't have increased capacity and useful range; it's just not the end-all-be-all of firearms; nor is it more dangerous any other semi-auto rifles out there that use a detachable magazine.
That's the point people try to make. It's no more effective in semi-auto than other civilian semi-auto rifles. It still only fires one round per trigger pull. The media wants people to believe they do more than that. They don't.
It's about aesthetics, in the end. It's an easy target because it's scary-looking and identifiable to most laymen. Personally, I've never actually liked the ergonomics; which is rather the whole point of the weapon. It could have been light in any shape, but Stoner chose that one.

Talk about ergonomics; the AK suuucks in that respect IMO. So do other Eastern block weapons like RPK, PKM, etc. The force the shell casings come out of a PKM... That thing is like a Chernobyl light saber.
Personally, I prefer manual load guns because I have never had one jam. A very important feature.
Never had an issue w immediate and remedial actions. Worst case, just transition...
You've never had a shotgun shell expand and make opening a double a real bitch?
I have.
Limited to 5 rounds. My dads shotgun held 5. Only other manual loader I've fired was a 30ott6 and my model 79.
Semi and auto was all in the navy. Mini gun. 50 cal. EOD chief let me fire his mp5. 45 was standard handgun when I was in.
Luckily I never had to do anything other than go to the armory, check out what I wanted, have fun, then take it back to the armory. They usually just hosed shit down with aerosol gun oil and locked them back up.
They started assigning stingers to some general quarter stations but that was after I got out. Would've like to fire those. I have a picture of a buddy training with one. I'll have to find it.

You happen to know the shelf life and brand of the shell? 12 gauge? I?ve heard of this but very rare. Slug?
