Yeah, the 300 Blackout really shines subsonic, and suppressed. I agree with you. My AR-15 has a 1/7 twist, (Colt M4) so I can shoot the heavier stuff also, but it still is very accurate with 55 grain FMJ. 62 grain is better for plinking though.

It is an awesome hunting rifle. My 24" SS Target Crown, is a tack driver. Very accurate.

It is lighter than my 30.06 Mauser and is awesome for hog hunting, as hogs run in packs.

I love how ignorant people think they know what they are talking about, only to look like a complete idiot.


The only time you do not have all your rights as an individual, is when you are in bondage and the property of others, you are incarcerated, or when you are dead. Take your pick.
If you walk freely in society, you have all your rights and liberties.
When is a person, no longer a person, as in the right of the people, shall not be infringed?
Yet here you are, trying like hell to justify, placing a individual in bondage.

There are very few bolt action guns on the market today.
Revolvers are better pistols than "autos", especially since they don't jam

My data is valid, you just don't want to acknowledge it.

My Glock never jams and I can rapid shoot without reloading.

Give me a good handgun with multiple magazines and I could do as much damage in that church as any AR-15 if so desired.

You want that one banned also?

What stops you from getting a bazooka? Too poor and your money is better spent elsewhere? Who says you cannot have a military surplus Humvee?

I have made bazooka's out of PVC pipe. Ever seen a potato gun?

I know I can obtain both of them, if I have the cash.

It's scary how so many "Americans" would love to disarm their fellow citizens. An "assault" weapons ban is just the start. They want all the guns.

The good news is that this is America and they aren't going to get a single one. Not without a hell of a fight at least.
