Top 10 Reasons You Should Own An AR-15

[heydaralon]

Why bother? If you don't care about cities now, why would you care after EOTWAWKI? You won't run out of steel for your plows and halberds for a long time. What you really want is to send in a team to raid the ancient weapons exhibits so you don't have to invent the flintlock, broadsword and rapier from scratch after you lose the ability make .223 cartridges.

.223 is how long your dick is in centimeters. Like all euro-worshipping homos you use the metric system.

Supercuck (Brewster new name) thinks he is impressive with him spitting out a gun caliber when in fact hand reloading is a thing also safer and easier than a meth lab. Not too mention a child could reload shotgun shells. So naive and dumb is he, "cocaine is so expensive and hard to import, the poors will never have a problem with it."

Were you the one who came up with the nickname Punky? That one is my favorite.

Maybe, probably, I might go with it again. I just thought it might be seen as too old but some millennials are bumping up next to 40 so being old wont be an acceptable insult anymore they'll start whining about that. They should be doing so now considering any bit of original content is so steeped in nostalgia (stranger things) and everything else is a reboot or a sequel.

Who's going to make your primers, finely processed granulated & smokeless powder or your brass shells? Takes precision industry, usually located in cities. As I've heard it, an AK has far less refined tastes than a AR, and and can shoot poorly made ammo. Is this true?

BTW .223 is inches, same as NATO 5.56mm. My dick however is .223 meters, and my ancestors busy were dodging Cossacks during the American Revolution.

Russians don't make poor ammo. Just ammo for poor.

You bring up some very good points. I don't think we'll see a Bronze Age Collapse type situation.
That being said, a situation where people would have to make their own smokeless powder who also be a situation where no one could build a computer or cell phone.

Primers can be made much easier than smokeless powder. I know one old guy who reloads .22 rim fire. I have a friend working on making lead shot, which sounds simple, but is tricky as hell. The measured molten lead has to be drop from a predetermined height (around 30 ft) into water at controlled temp. Making brass ammo casing can be done, it's the smokeless powder you bring up that's the real problem.

Never thought of Blackpowder in a modern Semi Auto, this guy tries it in an SKS

Doesn't really work.

My motto is an M-4 over every Mantel. But it need not be an AR platform weapon. In the American Revolution the Charleville Musket was the musket to buy, the one promoted by the Continentals, but the finest weapons were the Pennsylvania Long Rifles. With either one a head of household could perform his duty for family and community.

NOTE: The best Ammo Factories in the country are in very rural areas.

I know it would be better to have lots of guns and ammo but if you could only afford two and not 3-4 guns. What two would they be?

Shotgun and handgun I'm guessing, right? Or a 22 rifle and a handgun?

[Speaker to Animals]

Shotgun and a hunting rifle.

Having only two is like asking where you would put the child seats if you could only afford two, but had five infants to transport.

However, if given that restriction:

1. Remington 870 chambered 3.5" with slug barrel, turkey barrel, and standard 28" vent rib with all the chokes for all of these. Also extended tube mag.

2. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articl ... rifle-kit/

I'm also assuming no limitations on reloading material for everything the above are capable of using.

[Fife]

I think the minimum number is really more like 8. That's cutting it close.

The duty of self-defense and defense of family really doesn't allow for skimping and pretending.

Providence helps those who help themselves.

Probably depends on your situation.
Fife gave us two very versatile choices that would work for me, 12 ga pump and an AR-15. However, if you are in a situation that requires concealed carry, obviously you are going to pick a handgun.

People need to think about the threats they are most likely to encounter.
