Because I hate working with stainless steel
Because it is butt ugly
Because it hurts my eyes, reee!¨
Because only an idiot doesn't know how to care for carbon/non-stainless, and thus doesn't deserve one, same as with knives.

I dont care what my finish is so long as its shiny

I don't hate them, I just don't care for them. But, they can be butt ugly, like the Coonan .357 Hickok45 had in his video.

>How many rounds can I shoot with it before the light starts to wear down from the recoil, muzzle blast, etc?


10 clips

If you buy a good light like the one in the picture, you probably won't have any issues past having to wipe the lense after a few hundred rounds.

I've put about 600 rds through my 19 with a tlr -1 mounted. Other than cleaning the carbon off the lens, nary a hiccup.

Cold Steel knives are actually bretty good. The swords are durable but handle poorly because of little to no distal taper.

Cold steel knives are some of the best that can be found. They're great. Their machete line is pretty fun too for what it is (get a 25 dollar gladius or dadao)

I haven't got any of their sword but I heard that's where the company falls off at.

Do I get the thai machete or the chinese war sward machete?

Your question is a bit convoluted, but I'll try.

>is it better to buy cheaper yet good quality equipment then higher quality counterparts afterwards
The answer is not necessarily. Some gear queers pride themselves on acquiring the most expensive shit like Dead Bird, Noveske, Outdoor Research, etc. However, the majority of people seem to just spend outrageous money on what they like. I have a mismatched array of gear. Some of it is very high dollar, such as my OR gloves, but some of it is relatively inexpensive like my Banshee RPC. Everyone finds what they value after owning something that they think could be improved. "Improvement" doesn't necessarily mean more expensive. I sold my HS Flatpack and replaced it with something cheaper because I liked the features more. People in /ARG/ are likely to spend a lot of money on their AR, but maybe not on gear. The inverse is likely in /GQ/ threads. Everyone is a sucker for something, but more expensive is not always necessary or even better.

With that being said, I can give you one piece of advice. DO NOT waste money on very cheap goods that you need to function for your own safety. Rifle receivers, plate carriers, optics, and weapon lights all have cheap alternatives to very high priced stuff, but the very cheap, airsoft shit is garbage. You will end up replacing a Condor plate carrier with something better so it's a waste to spend money on it in the meantime.

In for Troy quite literally setting the fire at Waco themselves and then conducting the 9/11 attacks 8 years later to celebrate.

Gotta say the few things I've tried from Troy were pretty solid, 8/10 would plink with again.

Considering the shit ballistics of 5.56, particularly out of shorter barrels, no.

>but pistol rounds suck at killing! rifle rounds are better!
This is a meme.

Even SBRs make SMGs obsolete, so of course bullpups would, given they are superior ballistically to SBRs

That's actually true.

If you manage to miss a bear then just lay down and get eaten.

Because you don't typically defend yourself from bears 200 yds away.

>>30523296
I doubt any of us here can be accurate with a slug at a moving target 30 to 50 meters down. With a zeroed scoped rifle, it would be quite different. A freaking sks would be better for bear defense than a 12 g imo.

I'd rather buy a high point than a Taurus

I have that set up except with an addition of the PA dot sitting on an American Defense quick release mount. Sits solid as fuck. Couldn't be happier.

>>30522952
Depends on what "small country" you're referring to, but if it's strictly for defense, SAMs are the best option.

SAMspam™ is best if your country is really small.
