Your rifle is too heavy for SHTF

[sh00ter]

Watch the entire thing; a very reasonable presentation

Key points:

- DI better than piston due to weight (I could debate his reliability claim based on lube availability)
- iron sights or optic with no batteries
- light should be dual purpose (removable)
- is 5.56 "really" better than 308 if you could only have ONE rifle (I could debate the ammo weight)

His recommendations:

- SCAR 17
- or basic milspec 5.56 carbine with no extras on it
- both with ACOG or iron sights

The world is my bipod.

Scar 17? What an abomination. That thing could’ve been so good. But, alas FN screwed the pooch.

I’ll take my 5.56, and I do like extras like lights. I have been switching over to prism sights with lighter reticles from red dots since you can still use prisms even if the battery dies. Plus, at my age I need some magnification.

I wouldn't carry anything heavier than a 10/22.

No, the Government screwed the pooch. It was their requirement.

The way they acquired it. They already had a great gasgun but they wanted to be different.
