  1. How do you feel about 16" vs a pistol build?

    I shoot almost every weekend now and im stuck trying to pick after having good success with multiple Galil pistols, that new PSA AKV and a CZ Scorpion. 50 yards and under for this type of practice. There is a public 200yard range too though which makes me lean towards something like a M&P15 Sport II for $450.

    The GHM9 looks fun and i don't mind using 9mm out to 50 yards or more but I've never shot one so not sure if worth it.

  2. I'd prefer the M-16 style gun because looking like a Classic 80's action hero would scare the beJesus out of most would-be home Invaders. They'd be too distracted by it to focus on anything else.

  3. New ar's are cool but that, old style ar15 with irons and integrated carry handle with irons have a majestic feeling to it i like. You can't go wrong with a 20 inch, with irons batteries not required for irons and us nearsightedness and farsightedness folks. I like point shooting as well.

    Im actually an ak fanboy lol

  4. I love the comparison . The M16 clone seems to hitting that steel just a little harder and it has a really cool nostalgic look to it , But a modern AR with a 16" barrel and an optic is tough to beat (I have a few). Your wife had me cracking up at the end with that little wisecrack! great video brother as always.

  5. The USMC still uses a 20" barrel because they're goal is to kill enemy combatants.
    And no the 11.5" barrel is not more accurate than a rifle up to 100 yards.
    I spent my time behind a trigger as a Marine ( 16 years).
    There is a reason the 20" is carried into combat rather than a short inaccurate toy.

  6. What happened to the proof research barrel build??? The one you were thinking about putting a Swarovski on. I’d really like to see how that rifle groups because there are 0 videos of proof barrel accuracy from normal guys
