It's only a big deal because it's expensive. Firing LAWS came with very little, "you better not **** this up" and there were few hits.
That's absolutely true about the expense making it a big deal. I suppose there are training missiles that make it a little cheaper but this was a live, blow stuff up missile firing.
We fired the LAW in Basic with a training missile. Later I fired the successor to the LAW ( I forget, maybe AT4) with a training round. Which was a 9mm pistol cartridge. What an anti-climax to nearly a full day of training.
as usual, that is a stupid response to what I have said. convicted felons -if their felony was violent, ought to be gator bait
So in your eyes a convicted felon, of a violent offense, is "damned for all time"
They surrender their right to defense
Curiously, do the families of released felons have to suffer this pariah status too...are they also "gator bait" ?
that's a state police power issue...
What is funny is that you don't trust honest people to own any guns and then pretend to take issue with me stating that violent felons lose the right to keep and bear arms. Hypocrisy much?
You would feel a lot safer with a striker fired gun over an M-1911 S/A
They're easier to use than a SA/DA pistol too....probably a major reason why the army ditched the "Die Hard" M9
Down side is that Glocks and SIGs are expensive.
You know what they say, if a 9mm won't kill what you're aiming at, you need a rifle.
Proving again you don't know what you are talking about.
Go price a glock and a decent 1911 or a Beretta. Then get back to us.
I tend to think that there are far worse animals than alligators. such as gun banning donkeys
Proving again that you say a lot but show little knowledge.
Glocks and SIGs are expensive - check out the prices and get back to us.
Lol. You are ridiculous. Glock cost around 500. The Beretta will cost at least as much or more depending on options and a decent 1911 is going to cost closet to double that with top of the line 1911 costing a hell of a lot more.
A couple minutes on Google would have prevented you from looking so ignorant.
So Glocks cost around $500. I don't know about you but to me that's expensive.
A few seconds reading a post might make you look less ignorant. Nobody said the Beretta was cheaper - just that it's more complicated to use than a striker fired gun.
Hopefully this experience will lead you to read better in future.

only people who are anti gun or don't have proper training with guns would shoot through a wall without ascertaining the nature or source of a threat.
There are quite a few people who don’t have proper training in my neck of the burbs. That said I still don’t think guns should be banned. I’m of the same mindset that ignorance isn’t an excuse for breaking the law so if someone shoots a round through a wall and kills an innocent it’s not a defense to say you were being attacked. There are many rounds you can buy to alleviate that issue as well.
Also this situation isn’t one that only an AR15 can solve. So it’s silly to use it as a defense of having an AR-15. Rather the defense for having an AR-15 should be because we can and it’s allowed. **** trying to defend a reason to have one. We should have one because we can.
I have one and I enjoy having it. I haven’t had any thoughts to kill someone I haven’t wanted to use it on anyone, I enjoy firing it.
You’ll be sorry when the alligator people get you.
Only one???? :mrgreen:
Yeah I bought only one, I like different type of firearms so I go for having many different types rather than owning multiples of the same type. I really really enjoy firing them so I enjoy having different ones. Again, I simply cannot understand banning a particular type of firearm. I think it is the stupidest thing to demonize a firearm.
well I have two AR 15s that were purpose built for the National Service Rifle course of fire. I have several that are in 9mm for use in USPSA PCC and Steel events. I have a SIG MCX sitting right next to my desk for home defense-it has a flashlight on it and a military grade Aimpoint red dot sight. I have an AR 15 that has an Eotech NV compatible red dot and a ANSV military grade NV scope. We sometimes get coyotes screwing around with our dogs or horses and that is mainly for that. I have a couple JP Custom ARs set up for 3G competition and a Windam Arms Proctor signature carbine-got a great deal on it. And I have one I built on DPMS that is .223 only with a match bull barrel for long range varmint shooting. Finally, I have a Daniels Defense that's a back up for the SIG but has different sighting arrangement
Nice on the AR configurations. Mine are just basic, but I like the fact the recoil is next to nothing. I have many S&W firearms, although my favorite to fire is still the Desert Eagle .50. One thing I have found with the S&W is the .40 just doesn't seem as accurate as the S&W 9 mil or .45. I have the original S&W M&P 9 mil and .45 but I really like the grips of the .40 M&P 2.0 but the .40 just doesn't seem to have the same accuracy versus recoil as the 9 mil and .45 original versions.
Lots of pro level handgun shooters have found that to be true. I'll proffer some reasons on that in the near future.
I went on a helicopter ride a couple times with my Uncle just outside of Longview TX to shoot those friggin feral hogs when they were a problem out there. Good times! We were using AR-10's in 300 blackout. My Uncle said that the .223 and .556 weren't doing the job too well before that.So I'm going to throw the BS flag.... :2wave:
The gator was dispatched with a single shot, ANY centerfire rifle would have been AS EFFECTIVE.... Though I'd go with 30 cal myself.
Feral hogs I have quite a bit of experience with. I've seen a rambutt neighbor put half a dozen 223's into a boar hog and it still hauled ass- no doubt it did die eventually but if the feral was coming FOR that nimnull I don't think it would have had a happy ending. I'd use the 300 blackout way before 223 for ferals. I use my 308 these days, my days of stalking through the creek bottom with my AK clone are pretty much behind me.
Have a bit of experience with coyotes, rarely is the pack more than 4, and never have they attacked a human. They can bother new born calves (damn dogs are FAR more an issue) but most of the time when a rancher pulls up the coyotes are hauling ass. If the coyote (as 90% of the time it is a lone coyote) hasn't been hunted before around 200-250 yards he stops and turns to see what's going on. That's when you take the shot. Good optics and come-up chart are far more important than the actual weapon platform.
I like my LTR with a discontinued Loopy and the 168 Amax- pretty much my all around bullet. A 170 Lappy FMJ for hogs. The 223 is a good choice for coyotes but is doesn't need the AR platform to be the 'ideal' firearm....
I know the 'Spin the Truth About Firearms' loves to pretend things, but practical application says otherwise...eace
It's all about the user my friend. I'm more accurate with my .40 Shield than I am with either of my 9mm's or my Sig p238. Go figure...Nice on the AR configurations.

Sure. But why do you need an AR 15 for that?
The most anyone needs for home defense is a small handgun. This is clearly not about that. The standard seems to be what you need to bring down the US government.
