The Armory - Guns, Knives, and Axes

[TheReal_ND]

Only people that use third generation warcraft can call their rifles assault rifles.

Technically I suppose, it was actually "Stormrifle". But again, don't brame me, Rabbi; literally Hitler.

[TheReal_ND]

Storm, assault, context whatever

[Smitty-48]

Colt's Manufacturing LLC refers to their civilian pattern Armalite as the "Commercial Sporting Rifle", but that seems rather Orwellian.

[Smitty-48]

In the end, I simply find the term "assault rifle" to be logical and accurate; a compact, lightweight, intermediate calibre, low recoil, rapid fire, automatic rifled carbine, with high capacity magazine, for military/paramilitary application, optimized for the offensive, particularly the approach, assault, and subsequent close quarters battle.

[TheReal_ND]

Well fine, then I'll just call it a home defense rifle then.

[Smitty-48]

I would prefer the shotgun for home defense, just due to high velocity overpenetration, five-five-six could go through your entire home and into the home of the Chinaman living next door, next thing you know the Chinaman sues you and lose your home to the courts.

But not if you load hollow points

But not if you load hollow points

Fair enough I suppose, what are you loading, Winchester PDX1's?

[TheReal_ND]

Rn? Something I bought at academy that looked good and expensive. Winchester iirc
