The Armory - Guns, Knives, and Axes

[TheReal_ND]

I walked with a coyote once. Thought he was a dog. He seemed pretty cool, actually.

I was like, "hey there, little man. Are you lost? You don't have a collar or tags."

Should have kept him. Do coyotes make good pets? Some people keep bobcats. They like to display their poop proudly around the house though.

I've always thought it would be cool to own a coydog.

as melanistic coyotes have been shown to have inherited their black pelts from dogs likely brought to North America through the Bering Land Bridge 12,000 to 14,000 years ago by the ancestors of the America's indigenous people.[4]

It is now time to do battle

You can choose the FN SCAR

The M14
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M14_rifle


Or a factory built AR15
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_AR-15


Which do you choose and why?

[Smitty-48]

SCAR 17; more ergonomic, easier to strip, clean and assemble, more resilient to enviromental conditions, mololithic reciever, ambi cocking lever, pistol grip, folding stock, rail mounts, quick mount supressor muzzle, 7.62x51mm battle rifle, FN FAL of the 21st century.

Ok. Scenario two:

You're going to battle. But money is an issue. Which do you choose now?

I would go with the AR or m14 tbh. M14 do be heavy though.

[Smitty-48]

Going into battle; money is no object, rather be broke and alive with 7-6-2, then dead with 5-5-6 and money left in the bank, and tell you what, those M14's, they had a lot of problems in Vietnam, they don't do so good in wet and shitty conditions.

Will 223 hollow points pierce body armor?

[Smitty-48]

Will 223 hollow points pierce body armor?

With plates? Probably not, hollow point ain't armour piercing, you want the tungsten core for that.

Condition Orange+ is indeed where money is no object. Back in Yellow you still have the luxury of doing some cost/benefit analysis, but in Orange, fuck the costs.
