Any decent shot can hit a comparable number to a àr if distance isn't a issue. But if it makes us feel better..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it makes us feel better..... Recon you put enough disclaimers and qualifiers in there, so you could support your party's position? "decent shot", "comparable number", "if distance isn't an issue". I recall a similar comment being made once. The assertion was that the first war the US was in, in which a gun was a better weapon than a bow, was WW1. Prior to that war, a bow had a greater range, more accuracy, a higher rate or fire, and more lethality than a firearm. The reason why wars like the Revolutionary and the Civil were fought with firearms, (instead of the supposedly superior bow), was because we had become an urban population, and people didn't know how to be lethal with a bow. And a city boy with two weeks training on a musket was more deadly than a city boy with two weeks training on a bow. So, frankly, if an AR is more deadly than a pistol, in the hands of an inexperienced mass murderer, that's a factor, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re getting better at dancing around the issue with every mass murder that occurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your purpose is for indiscriminate damage, just to take out as many as possible in a relatively confined space, does an AR type rifle really offer no advantage over a pistol? It seems intuitively wrong to me, but I'm pretty green when it comes to firearms knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time and ability to swing a rifle around in a small space would be a hindrance. An AR pistol may be best. Really depends on the space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
