[QUOTE="Serenity Bushcraft, post: 2035533, member: 8852"] The other day I was thinking about how useful an AR-15 pistol would be as a primary Bug Out weapon. Consider this....If you live in a medium to large town you will not want to be running around with a long gun because you will get a lot of attention. If it is for defense then you will probably not be shooting that far anyhow. If you are planning on fighting a 300 yard firefight then OK but IMO you should probably save your ammo and run away. Chances are if you are confronted and a situation arises that you would be justified to use deadly force it will be at normal talking distances, like 5-30ft. Sure a regular handgun would work but if you had an AR pistol you would have a reasonably concelable weapon that packs a lot of firepower. If the 0.001% situation did come up where longer range work was mandatory then it would be possible to reach out to 150-200 yards with ease. Yes the .223 out of a 7.5-11 inch barrel nothing compared to if it was fired out of a 16 inch barrel but it is still a lot more than most handgun rounds. Besides you do not have to kill a person to stop a fight. If things get bad enough to bug out then any wound from any bullet would likley be lethal due to infection. The idea of dying a horrible death that is drawn out will take a lot of the fight out of folks. Just a thought that I had...........What do you all think. CHEERS [/QUOTE]
