    The boomers were right...

    Again, there's no law of logic that would allow you to support that conclusion from your premise. In fact, allow me borrow your logic to show its flaws. There is no meaningful difference between a .22lr pistol and a 12 gauge shotgun because both pale in comparison to a nuclear bomb. See the issue?

    The boomers were right...

    I thought I'd give an update on my HK USP 45. So far I've fired exactly 690 rounds through it. 560 of that was brass cased 230gr FMJs, 110 of those were Federal 230gr HST, and 20 were old Underwood 230gr JHPs. I've never cleaned or lubricated the gun since I've purchased it, and so far it has...

    The boomers were right...

    I don't think that's logical reasoning. The conclusion "there's no difference in the performance of conventional handgun chamberings" doesn't logically follow the premise "handguns are not as ballistically effective as rifles and shotguns." Even if both pail in comparison to long guns, there can...

    The boomers were right...

    I've heard that one of the nicknames the M16 received by US troops was "the meat axe" due to its ballistic effectiveness. It was supposedly compared to a shotgun blat at close range. When you get a 55gr FMJ bullet fast enough to fragment it does crazy things to flesh. If you can find it, there...

    The boomers were right...

    Was the market right back when 40 S&W was the big new thing everyone liked? Was the market right back when it was 45 ACP or nothing? Things to into and out of fashion, and just because something becomes fashionable doesn't necessarily mean it's objectively better than what goes out of fashion.

    The boomers were right...

    147 grain bullets are the fashionable thing. I don't know if it's the being subsonic for suppressor use angle or if the 'heaver bullets make more out of shorter barrel lengths' notion combined with 9mm pistols that have microscopically short barrels being so popular, but 147gr 9mm is what the...

    The boomers were right...

    By any consistent metric that 9mm hollow points are better than 9mm FMJs, and obviously they are, so too are 45 ACP hollow points better than 9mm hollow points. Not only is this the case, but by those same metrics 45 ACP has improved in performance more than 9mm has. FMJ to FMJ 45 is something...

    I'm stealing that. It's too boomer-humor to not say it along with "45 AARP".

    The boomers were right...

    I draw the line at fishing vests, Hawaiian shirts, whatever.... that is, and other boomer clothing. That can go extinct along with the boomers, but 45 AARP will live on in the few enlightened shooters of the next generation.

    The boomers were right...

    It doesn't make them any bigger. Comparing the faster rate of accurate fire from the lower recoil of a 9mm loser to the larger hole'ness of a 45 AARP, the 45 is larger than the 9mm is faster to shoot. If we are talking about decent size guns and an apples to apples comparison of good hollow...

    The boomers were right...

    Look at the boomers with their 45 AARP guns. Point and laugh at them. Insert modern bullet technology here. Be me, two months ago Hear that Federal 9mm 147gr HST is where it's at Looking up how well they expand in ballistics gel 0.6" nice Recommended video on the side shows 230 grains of...

  14. Bayonets... possibly a good idea?

    I bought an M7 bayonet a looong time ago, and I think it was made by the Ontario Knife Company. It wasn't too too much.

  15. Bayonets... possibly a good idea?

    14.5" barrel + carbine length gas system = bayonet fits. 16" barrel + mid length gas system = bayonet fits. 18" barrel + intermediate length gas system = bayonet fits. 20" barrel + rifle length gas system = bayonet fits. I'm pretty sure that's the way it is. Also, all of that assumes you're...

  16. Bayonets... possibly a good idea?

    Let's be dumb together. Hey, there's a new slogan for ODT!

  17. Bayonets... possibly a good idea?

    I'm a total layman when it comes to all of this, so take the following opinion with a grain of salt. The advice 'I don't pull my gun unless I'm going to use it' is often good general advice, as most situations don't even call for a deadly threat of violence, but there are many real world...

  18. Bayonets... possibly a good idea?

    Maybe the district attorney is less apt to file assault charges against someone who defends himself with a bayonet than he would be to file murder charges against someone who uses a firearm to kill an aggressor in self defense.

  19. Bayonets... possibly a good idea?

    My 870 happens to have a factory bayonet lug, now that I think about it :)

  20. Bayonets... possibly a good idea?

    My thinking, and this is trying to understand what is going on in the minds of people who are clearly not rational, is that they don't believe that the person holding a rifle is willing to shoot them dead. Otherwise they clearly wouldn't have done what they did. Maybe, though, they're more apt...
