It's inevitable. It's like a disease. It's viral and it's gone from the ridiculous to the sublime. In the meantime there are smart men out there who have enough base model M4s and/or various iterations there-of that ... well, they could outfit a platoon. There is a rule ... one is none and two is one. Put enough high pressure rounds through anything and it will eventually fail. If you have two ... then the other one goes into action. When that one fails you combine parts from the two and turn them back into one. Now, if you have twenty .... not only might you outfit your immediate family and closest friends but you'll have spares. Entire muzzle to bullplate replacement parts kits. Anyways, rant off. Also, I despise the big AR gun board because it is just as you describe it to be. A lot of poseurs playing soldier.

Bro, I’m doing this as a new hobby because I like to shoot. Not trying to arm my neighbors. If shite ever hits the fan it’s literally a roll of the dice whether you’ll live or die.

Didn't Rand Corp or some similar think tank do a study once and calculated that like 60% of the population would die within 2-4wks if it ever does get apocalyptic... and the only ppl that will survive are either those with end of days underground bunkers or incredibly in-shape former military/survivalist types.

Some of us approach it differently. Especially those of us who live remotely.

If shtf then it's far more uncertain in high population areas than it is in remote areas far away from urban areas. It may be a roll of the dice in the cities but for many of us it is a sure thing ... our chances of survival both in peace, in war and post shtf, are better than city dwellers who may be leaving their fate to a roll pf the dice.

Firearms are made for one thing. One purpose.

Firearms will fail eventually.

One is none and two is one.

So you're doing this as a hobby? 3-gun? Paper punching? Reenactment? Run & Gun? What?

Also, I'm not your Bro young man. I'm probably old enough to be your Grandpappy. I was probably out of the service before you were born. I'll be your friend on this forum in this online community to try to help you with a question you asked .... but I'm not your Bro.

Good luck with your new "hobby." How a firearm is a hobby ... I do not know nor do I understand what you mean by "hobby."
