Seems to be a pretty reliable design at this point, pressure bearing parts are made from metal so no safety concerns from that standpoint. If I lived somewhere like Japan I'd consider it but as it goes, I can (and have) legally acquired firearms that offer similar capabilities in the UK.
Again, this is the basics I’m putting here. There’s more math that goes into the movement of the bolt and such.
Oh, 11 or 12 on that scale for sure. But the gun works, and is plenty reliable from reports.
it's a working expedient firearm along similar lines as the STEN or Luty, but with modern manufacturing techniques in mind. it may be less useful considering round stock steel and machine tools can still reliably turn out STENs or M3's or whatever. it does have some caveats in the design due to manufacturing and the assumption of limited machining ability/knowledge though, but for those without a lathe or mill and access to AR and Glock parts, it's perfectly serviceable.
Fyi there's a fair bit if debate regarding whether or not the Juggernaut qualifies as a "featureless" grip, due to thumb web not placing higher than top of trigger. The Resurgent Arms one is in the clear. The Sparrow is similar and also popular https://www.sparrowdynamics.com/Featureless-Grip-AR-p/crg-15.htm
I think if my house was that small I'd buy a knife. Also, get used to clearing rooms with a flashlight-ed gun, the weight can make a difference.
I thought about switching from the Carbine mil spec fixed stock to a either an A2 or Fixed Rifle stock.
He has a few points, but I would always be skeptical when someone is speaking in absolutes. I don't know his history, experience, training, home situation, et al.
What are your thoughts on the Ruger 10/22 for home defense.
Advantages: parts are common and it's an extremely easy to customize weapon
Further advantage: you won't blow your eardrums out if you have to fire it indoors without hearing protection. I got rid of a .357 because I fired it once outside without hpro and it was like someone jammed an icepick into my head. I can't even imagine what would happen if I had to let that motherfucker rip inside my house in the middle of the night.
Right but if for home defense it's better to get a 22lr hand gun. If that's all you can get. Don't need a long gun in 22lr indoors. That's what the shot gun or bigger caliber gun is for.
I don't think .22 LR is a defensive round. Unless you get lucky and hit someone in the eye or some shit, or you put a gun to the back of their heads (which would probably be considered murder unless you live in a State that actually respects your right to self defense like Florida), you're not doing much against a human being with that round. Long and short of it is is that no matter what you use, it's going to be loud and messy (unless you have a suppressor on your HD gun). I like 9mm because modern 9mm has an absolute fuck ton of loads available for it that didn't exist when 10mm was a thing. .45 would be a decent HD round too since its fat and slow and won't over-penetrate things.
I wonder how did all those soldiers in the World Wars managed to survive with their hearing intact?
A lot of them didn't. Hearing loss is a pretty big issue for combat veterans.
What about hollow-point ammunition? Would there still be a danger of over-penetration?
