olgoi, that all sounds fantastic and very scientific. Lets go to sherburne and shoot your Noveske against my RRA. I BET you can't tell the difference.

Most for sale gun ads list their gun as having under (usually by a lot) 1,000 rounds passed through the barrel. Your average person doesn't have the time, money or desire to shoot enough rounds to bring their rifle to the point you are talking about. Sure it all sounds good and is probably true. I could drive an armored car as my daily driver to be certain that I don't get car jacked and that if involved in a wreck I am likely to survive. But I don't because they are too expensive, the gas would be a bitch and IT'S NOT NECESSARY for me. You can spend a lot of money overdoing almost anything. You just have to ask is the juice worth the squeeze?

As far as using the rifle in a combat setting. Let's say you're right and Red Dawn happens. You walk outside with your AR and maybe get a mag off before the HIGHLY TRAINED MILITARY/MERCENARY/WAY HARDER THAN YOU motherfricker puts one in your head. You're not an operator, you're untrained, you're by yourself and you're probably not even a very good shot. shite the military doesn't even use Noveske/DanielDefense/(insert over-priced AR manufacturer). They use RRA, Bushmaster, and whoever else can fill a contract on the cheap. Just sayin...

Speak for yourself. You may not be, but several people take it upon themselves to be proficient with their weapons, beyond range trips and shooting mags full of ammo with no purpose.

I spent under $1100 for my first battle rifle (sans grip and optics) and I would trust it with my life in any conditions. How much was your RRA?

As for the doomsday scenario you laid out, against the full force of the US military, no, no one really has a chance. Against any other foe… game on.

I don't think anyone thinks he can take on a well trained light infantry unit by himself although I think I could do some damage but I've been in it.

I think people see what happened during Katrina and the Baltimore riots. They see what happens when gov says you are on your own and they want to be ready. .
