To be honest, as a foot soldier, if I ever felt the need to engage at 400 yards, I'd do something else. Or call in an airstrike. Most infantry combat is more like <100 yards.
Ah. I'm still a big fan of the M16/AR15. I used to be accurate out to 400 yards with iron sites, and 5.56 is a lot lighter than 7.62.
Plus mine had a grenade launcher strapped to the bottom.
I still have an AR15, tho mine is .45acp.
I went in the army in the middle of college, and never really finished. But I've ended up with a gun or 2 since then...
But really, owning guns can be a hassle. Nothing is worse than the sinking feeling you get when a gun gets stolen, for example.
Ah, thanks. I hit the point of no space or desire for more guns a few years back. Right now, I 'd say it's safe to say I have more net worth in ww2 german handguns than I do in my house
I kinda look at cleaning them afterwards as the meditation that helps the adrenaline level go down a bit. So in some ways, it's the yin to the yang of shooting
