Completely agreed. One thing I don't understand is why people use AK/AR guns. They don't have the inherent beauty of a bolt-action rifle, the lightweight versatility of a shotgun, or the sheer awesomeness of a muzzleloader. They don't even have the convenience of a pistol. Just bad guns unless you are killing people IMO. In addition, they jam easily, kick hard, and are generally completely inferior to an actual rifle. "Tell me you're not a gun owner without telling me you're not a gun owner" Assault weapons are prolific precisely because they are superior to what you describe as an "actual rifle". Besides the fact the AK and the AR platforms are both, in fact, rifles (AR even having it in the name, ArmaLite Rifle), the inherit "beauty" of a weapon, has nothing to do with its efficacy, and I don't even want to comment on the "versatility" of a shotgun, a weapon which is decidedly among the least versatile firearms. Jams on assault weapons are typically fairly straightforward to clear, although only slightly more common due to the addition of more moving parts than a bolt action weapon. As for kick, are you really saying they kick harder than a shotgun? Or a muzzleloader? The only weapon that might have less of a kick is like... a .22 rifle. I'd like to hear your explanation on the "general inferiority" of these weapons. They're rugged, strong, and incredibly versatile. I'm actually quite surprised, I'm a gunsmith and I've never heard anyone make these comments before. I own a 6.5 Grendel, a .308 CZ Winchester, a .45 Ruger, a 6.5 Mossberg Patriot Creedmoor, and a .22 WMR Ruger Revolver. I shoot shotguns at school, although I never got to shoot a muzzleloader. I'll give you that on shotguns, and I understand that semiautomatic guns like the AR are rifles. I just dislike the fact that the Grendel jams, while none of the other guns other than the handguns do. Shotguns, I will say, are terrible, but they are really your only option for moving aerial targets. They certainly do kick harder than a 20 gauge shotgun. I agree that they are very versatile, although I greatly prefer both of the non-Grendel rifles, in terms of rugged, okay, I don't understand what is being stated in this case, and the .308 has about the same muzzle velocity if you use the best ammo on each. The hunting ability about the weapons is around the same, with myself ranking the bolt-action rifles greater than AR purely because they don't jam as often. Because, for the aforementioned reasons, faster reload doesn't help much here unless you are hunting hogs. |
