I see, are they worried that normal civilians are all going to band together and form a super-power IRA? Seriously? IRA was powerful in the past, but am nowhere near sure how focused they are now, or if it's more than a few rogues that can't let go.
The criminal gangs bearing that name don't deserve it or the history attached to it.
Wasn't sure if it was similar to Iraq's 'Republican Guard' that also had members as part of a rogue unit for doing things that the government could deny, or something similar.. so there's truly no threat, and Ireland is over-reacting then, I see.
Fuck that, People can get 12 rounds in them and still fucking shoot you in the face, that's one major misconception played out in movies which supports this whole gun control fiasco, the idea that you shoot someone and they go flying into the air dead or will run away. Only a well placed round to vitals will knock someone down and pistols for one also don't often penatrate far enough. Thats why I need an ak with 30 round mags, because my pistol probably won't be enough to save my life.What I'm about to say is purely hypothetical, and in no way should infer that I have this setup at all.. but -if- I were to have a shotgun, and -if- I wanted defense rounds for CQB/CQC.. I would definitely have a Benelli M4 loaded w/12 gauge flechettes. Laser sharpened steel darts tend to turn people into pincushions and rip gaping holes in critical mass.. and can stop a group of gang members rushing a door with 1 round, maybe 2... the only issue is the ability to over-penetrate, and you wouldn't want to explain to law enforcement in most countries why you have shells that are not 'legal' per their definition of shotgun shell either.. catch-22. At the end of the day though, I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6. No tolerence, no mercy. Best summarized with a photo:
Yea dude you hit me in the leg or my weak arm your still gunna get shot lol - people don't just fall over dead instantly when they get shot unless its in the head/heart/lungs, that's only in the movies.
I did mention critical mass.. critical mass = vitals.. what type of penetration are you looking for with a pistol/handgun?
You don't need 30 rounds to defend your home tho, you'd end up killing all the occupants too!
how do you know? What if the invaders have aks also and a gun fight starts, you need as many rounds as you can get.
Is why my 17+1 handgun has 3 spare magazines, and is why plenty of low light / reflexive / steel tree practice is a good idea, as well.
i mean hey im not the most accurate but fuckn a if a fuck is in my house i know my house better than them for one..... 1 shot 1 kill well as far as someone in my house i mean...course good for anything save ammo haha
That is all true and more so with adrenaline and Kaat or PCP. But, double ought, to center of chest will kill you.
Tongue in cheek, but not at all true. Not for you and not for the cops, either, when round are coming back at you.yep n if you own a gun and are inside a house and cant hit a person inside a close quarters...shoot yourself....
Yea and even lower with a pistol, you can even get hit in the chest and head , and survive pistol rounds, there is many videos and stories of people take 5-10 rounds from pistols then shooting their assailant or running off for 20-30 minutes before they finally collapse from the blood loss. Movies and Video games make people think that just 1 shot and the bad guy falls over dead instantly, like I said its just not true. Ask any doctor that treats gun shot wounds, pistol wounds are a high survival rate, rifles are much less.
Well, those are NYC pistol stats going back in random sample to 1920s. But, I totally agree. The Leftists in Tinsel Town make these movies to make their points.
And with a single shotgun discharge, you wouldn't have enough fingers to plug all the holes.
yea idk I thought about it a lot, in some emergency of course would have my pistol 1st but I think I would go for my ak before the shotgun if I had the chance, doesn't help my shotgun is a 27inch barrel and my ak folds up, I have a small house so its kind of a tight fit, that and my shotgun is a pump so if its more than 1 attacker, idk I am just more comfortable with the ak. I only ever shoot birdshot from my shotgun at skeet so not even sure what it like to fire the 00 I keep in it or fire at anything that is not an orange disk for that matter.
That's why you'd choose something else over it.
Run out a box of 00, just to see. It is very different, to me from a field load, say #7. And H will know but, I think I remember something like 9 pellets of .32 cal in a 12 g magnum, 00?
