so nobody will think I am being a jackwagon smart azz
I'd like to explain ...
some of you may know , the M16A1 was built by Armalite in the 1950's
then later by Colt , the AR15 was what it was called , a scaled down
AR10 , the AR did not stand for Assault Rifle the AR stood for "Awesome Rifle"
and no the first versions were not made by the Mattel toy company
there are some other misconception on "assault rifles"
examples ....
same rifle with a 25 round clip
same rifle with a tactical kit on it
as you can see the rifle goes from a regular looking not so intimidating
look to the "oh my God an assault rifle" look !
same exact gun , same exact power just one looks way more
intimidating than the others , same gun though ...
I equate it to putting a set of mags and wide tires on a car
and maybe a racing stripe and window tint to give a "a look"
is the car any faster ? no , it just looks better ...
I shoot a lot ... have my whole life , taught my kids to shoot
my oldest son was on a security detail for Pres. Bush on 9/11 only
because of his marksmanship abilities , my youngest son is a
better shot than him ...
I taught them about guns and how to properly shoot one and maintain
one. right now we shoot about 1000 rounds a week normally , rain or shine .
if you do decide to buy a gun make sure you know how to use it , clean it
and service it .
not sure what experience you have under your belt with firearms
but if you don't know , ask someone that does . most people I know
that shoot will be more than happy to give you pointers .
or if you go to a range , ask the range master for tips .
there are several types of shooting you can get into
rifles , pistols , shotguns , long range , short range and the list goes on
we do them all , lately we have been practicing on the 300 yard stuff
with the rifles .
we have a great time and it is also a great stress reliever
ps , always wear eye and ear protection , it's a must
you can get the ESS eye-wear kit , the same ones the USMC issues
to the Marines fairly reasonable online
we use the ICE series
