It's a gun, not a dog. Pull trigger...boom. While I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone not M&P would want want of those shitty things, it's not any more of a problem than any other center fire rifle as a first gun.

I can honestly say that I have never bought a gun because it looks cool or I thought it made me cool. I view guns as tools, not toys. Not that it is wrong to use them to fire them simply as recreation. It's just not what I use them for.

Side note: Why are you shooting an AR prone?

I think everybody here can agree this is the core issue.

As I've stated before, 5.56/.223 has been proven to be useless on zombies unless at very close range. One would need to jump to one of the 6.x calibers in that platform.

Zombies are excellent justification for an assault rifle.

Though, a .22 would still be the supreme weapon against zomies. You can carry thousands of rounds of ammo, it is quieter than other rifles and you only have to penetrate the brain cavity.

I believe this. I hate that round at least as much as you do, if not more. That's why my zombie AR will be a .308

You will attract zombies by shooting me with a loud gun and since you won't be carrying that many rounds will drasticly reduce your chances of survivial.

Im with you, but Id be willing to bet that the majority of AR owners view them as toys and will never shoot them at anything other than paper.

Are you a LEO or Mil?

Why not? Its the most stable shooting position and sometimes the situation dictates the position. And provides smallest target for enemies. But I am not getting shot at, I shoot from the prone because I shoot for accuracy most of the time. I have a couple ARs and will probably only keep my carbine to build another bolt gun because shooting long is fun.

I firmly believe that any gun/ammo/weapon thread is only 1 post away from becoming a zombie thread.

Yes I want a AR for the tactical look. I don't see a problem with that. In my opinion it is the same reason why people mod up their guns to make them look cool and also for the slight improvements. I know how to handle a gun safely. My parents don't own guns so I never learned how to fire a weapon or owned my own gun

guess you'll be giving "trial by fire" a new meaning...

please explain why you need "slight imporvements" for something you have never even handled. all you want is a toy to show your friends, you've made that quite obvious.
