7.62x51 vs 5.56x45. Does the former have enough advantages over the later to bother with?
As far as the NATO rounds go, it's apples to oranges. They are two totally different rounds altogether. I guess i would have to answer a question with a question. What is it being used for? Shots under 600, smaller round; shots over,larger...
Are yall pulling my leg with these questions? 1993 called and they want their questions back.
IMO, 9mm. Carry capacity and its 2018 science does some crazy shit in todays age. Also after seeing what both do.

There's an ongoing debate on 9mm vs. 45 ACP. The kicker is there's too much rhetoric to have a healthy debate on the subject so it's devolved into bad clichés.
Actually at a recent training session with my Galil 308 I really impressed with its handling.
I expected it to be like a boat anchor compared to an AR but it wasn't. So I find myself wondering if the heavier caliber has enough of an edge to justify the extra weight and expense of the ammo. Range is a non factor for me.

Can't say I have a ton of experience with those "battle rifles" so I'm a bit behind the power curve.

The 9 vs 45 was certainly a wise guy comment.
Welcome to the forum man. Were you in the 82nd?

I like both, and being in NY we are stuck with 10+1 of each anyway.
Yes i was.

Is it possible to install a Ma Deuce on my Kia?

Yes, but you need a Cold Air Intake to make up for the extra weight.
(man, we could fuck up a wet dream)
Right on, i was a red devil at one point in time.

Ok serious questions then. Why are AKs so much more badass than ARs?

With 10+1 of the ACP variety, you need a full sized gun. With 9mm you only need a subcompact. For CCW, the choice is clear. That and barrier penetration.

Which ACP? There are a few that have the capacity and size.

The only ACP worth talking about.

I kinda wanna get one of these now. With the 120 grain Lehigh Extreme Defense ammo this would be a little beast (1350 FPS). But alas at 12+1 it's too much for NY lol.

We've got a lot of characters here, but for the most part none of it is mean-spirited. Once you start hanging out long enough you'll get to know everybody. We are like one big Dysfunctional Family.
To keep a gun thread going I'll ask a question.
For normal citizens neglect NY compliance what would be your choice as the ultimate battle rifle? Ok here are the guidelines to stay in if you can.
Lastly please provide links to all the evil things you discuss so we can window shop. Thanks.

- AR15 platform- AR vs AK discussion can happen at another time.
- 5.56/233 caliber- I agree there are other interesting caliber options available, but again we can save that discussion for another time.
Lastly please provide links to all the evil things you discuss so we can window shop. Thanks.
Well I am affiliated with ALL-Star tactical and they have a little dealy called the Safe-MOD. Your compliant when traveling then just back the screws out while at the range to have a fully functional AR-15, this is safeact compliant and they sell all their rifles out the door with this setup.

Another thing you can do is buy a Fight lite SCR lower receiver. SCR Rifles
I have one of these rifles, it is a bit pricey to build but totally worth it, runs flawlessly. Here is a picture of mine. Derek used it to bag this buck
This rifle is a Troy Industries Upper, Fight lite SCR lower, Velocity Trigger and Primary Arms ACSS 1-6 optic.
When it comes to optics check out the forum on the Primary Arms scope here. Through Trials and Tribulations
As for other optics it all depends what you want to do with that rifle, i change mine constantly, i run quick detaches on all my optics but i go back and forth from a TRIJ RMR , PA 1-8 and an Eotech.

I'm a fan Primary Arms also. I use one of their Red Dots (I don't remember the model). I also bought an upper through them that has worked well, but needs more rounds through it.
So from what I take just about any AR is good enough for the given guidelines I laid out.

Yea man honestly, people will get mad at me but when it comes to your basic AR, an AR is an AR. Now you move up to a Falkor,, ALLSTAR or Aresenal Democracy(like in my profile picture) thats a whole different level of pin point precision. Does one need a $2500 Ar-15 no they dont. My green AR i built from scratch at it runs great. The best way to compare it
Hand built is like a street rod, you have the justification and pride that you designed it and built this 1000hp street monster
Precision Out of the Box is like a ferrari its a smooth clean 1000hp luxary wagon.
Ya I have to agree with you. At the moment I'm broke because of the house build, but I will recover. My problem is I have expensive taste in guns. I have a want/need for some nicer AR's. I like to build my own rifles so, but also are intrigued with the full built ones. I honestly don't know if they are worth it or not.
They are if it fits your needs. That Arsenal Democracy AD16, was seriously amazing, super smooth, balanced and great control. If i knew what i know now instead of spending 1500 or more on a build i would have bought one already built. I dont own the rifle in my profile picture, unfortunately it was used for a photo shoot and range session. RIFLES | Arsenal Democracy
