Is it weird if I prefer shooting handguns over rifles?

A little, but they both have their place and are loads of fun
>>
>>31457986
Not at all.

I do too, but I prefer basically anything over semi automatics, they're kinda boring t b h
>>
Yes, it's probably a sign of low-T.
>>
>>31457986
no way anon! keep shooting on

i myself love handguns more

not at all, i love pistols much more.

>tfw seeing vids on people getting shot 5 times by pistols and nothing happens

Pistols are fun to shoot, but nothing beat feeling of good AK

>>
yes
kill yourself and get an ar-15
>>
>>31458334
but they have way more felt recoil

shooting a 12 gauge 870 when I was 13 or 14 was way easier than my grandfathers old .38 special

I vastly prefer handgun range time to rifle range time.
1) More practical - if I ever need to fire a weapon in anger, it's much more likely to be my CCW. If home defense, somebody is getting drilled at <10m with my AR, which doesn't require much practice.
2) More challenging - to me, it feels much better to blow up water bottles at 40m with a handgun then at 150-200m with a rifle.
3) Cheaper, which means I get to do more of it.

No I like pistols over rifles as well. I have rifles but when I want to just blow off steam I shoot pistols. And seriously the thing I have/probably will use again in a situation is pistol.
>>
I don't think so.

I like handguns more than pistols. I just think they look cooler and are more fun to hold and use.

Nope.

Different people like different things.
I love shooting all my guns, but I think shotguns are the most fun to me.

i shoot my handgun a lot more. i get board with rifles. i have a shot gun i use for trap and a bunch of handdguns. i just have more fun.
>>
>>31457986
No. Handguns are more challenging, even compared to standing with a rifle. A rested rifle at <100 yards with a quality optic is basically cheating.

Still does, SCARs, both 16, 17, and Mk 20, are pretty popular all over SOF.
>>
I like shooting rifles more. But I prefer the less demanding cleaning regimen of pistols.

No, im the same
When I was a little kid I thought id have a room full of machine guns like burt from tremors, or that picture of the HK meeting room where all their guns are on the walls
I even hung my toy guns on my wall like burt did.
Now that im older I just have more of a practical use for pistols then I do rifles or shotguns. I still have a few, but I just find I get more everyday use out of them, and theres more variety to pick from, at least for now. If I get my dream cabin in the woods this is all susceptible to change
>>
Honestly, I probably wouldn't shoot anywhere near as often as I do if 9mm didn't exist.

It's very affordable and available.
>>
>>31458416
And your mom is boring to shoot full of semen but I still do it.
>>
>>31461858
At <100 yds standing with a rifle is basically cheating, to be honest. Decent stance and there's no reason you shouldn't be able to acquire quickly and fire (outside of an actual firefight where you are panicking)
>>
>>31457986
Nah I'm the same, it's personal preference.
>>
>>31458382
hnnnnnng muh dick
you'd be wierd if you dont like to shoot this
>>
>>31457986
it just means you like missing things that are 30 yards away
>>
>>31457986
if you don't want penetration then fine
>>
>>31461897
you can choose?
>>
>>31457986
Only if you hold it sideways and have your pants down to your knees.

Congrats. Now it's murder not self defense you fucktard.

The mission, unit, and training you have usually chooses for you. Outside of sof you probably won't see many scars.

Ricky has said that the scar 17 is one of his faves though.

Same, it's because my local pistol range is 7min away while the rifle range is 45min away.
