Would a 10.5in AR make for a good SHTF/ combat rifle?

>>33654431
No. It'll be uberloud and rip the shit out of the working internals. A SHTF gun should have rifle length gas like God and Gene Stoner intended.

Underage pls

Mmmmmmmmmmm

SBRs are shit for anything but 55 grain and lighter ammo. Your velocity is still shit so your ammo doesn't fragment except at really close ranges, and your long range shooting suffers extra wind drfit and bullet drop.

20 inch bullpups > SBR

Why are you using shit-tier ammo designed to fragment instead of expand?

I mean seriously, swapping from 30cpr M193-clone to 45cpr Federal LE Bonded buys you an extra 200 yards+ of terminal performance out of a 10.5" barrel.

Yesssss. I don't know if I could bear to spray bomb the thing, though. And didn't the Blood Diamond ones have shorter barrels?

How hard was it to build that sexy beast? I'm so torn between that BHD/"late '80s/early '90s Operator" build, or something like this.

>>33654679
expansion still takes a certain amount of energy at the impact. so a SBR will still under perform.

This guy is actually right contrary to the popular beliefs of the opposing faggots.

A 20 inch AR is the perfect SHTF AR.

1. SHTF
2. place ar pistol upper on rifle lower
3. ???
4. OPERATE

>>33655474
Is there some reason I hardly see a 20" barrel with an adjustable stock?

>>33655636
Because 18 is pretty much the same but better


18 with adjustable stock and rifle length gas is the go to for 3 gun for a reason.

>>33654855
Yeah I think the one in the film has a heavy barrel with the compensator slots cut down, To be fair the movie one is painted also.

in a SHTF situation you're probably never gonna shoot beyond 25 yards anyway.

>>33657058
MK262's frag threshold is more like 2000.

>>33655392
It's true because he lives in California
No sbrs and I doubt he has an ar pistol

>>33654679
Expansion is a luxury and not a primary incapacitating method. You choose the loading most accurate from your gun.
