  1. Some folks are using AR pistols for home defense. Even at 2300fps the damage would be horrible. I believe my Aero Precision is 11 1/2 inch. By averaging I guess I'd pull 2400+. Again plenty fast to do major damage. But a hell of a drop in Velocity. And mine is a range toy too. Hahaha. Just so much fun. 🙃

  2. 1000fps drastically changes effectiveness of 556. I have 10.5” and put a Troy Claymore on it. Tamed the blast pretty well. Long live the SBA4!!!

  3. Definite prayers for Billy. Great friend. Great video too. Been wondering the difference. I also have a 10.5 inch that if like to know about. Thanks for the video brother.

  4. I have killed my share of hogs with a 7.5" 5.56! You can do it but, honestly…..I know it sounds crazy but, a 22LR is about as good. 10.5" does a decent job. If you want to go 7.5" go 7.62×39 or 300 Blackout. Both of these 30 cals are deadly in 7.5" and will put a giant Whitetail or Texas Hog in the dirt in a hurry👍🇺🇸
