OK with all these gun threads there was a few comments on one thread that really errks me... having a shotgun as home defence.... are they good or are they bad... that is the question... shotguns are great weapons.. hold a great one shot stop ( with the right ammo) but are they the "best" for home protection in my "expert" opnion? NO
well what makes me an expert on guns and home protection? well according to the NRA, USMC, LVMPD, FBI, ATF I am considered an expert when it comes to handguns.. not longguns... but one thing I do know is that I will use a handgun for any threats that are closer than 50 yds I can hit farther but the fact of the matter is that if the threat is 50 yds away you can use evasive tactics to get away from the threat... now back to in home...
shotguns loaded with 00 9 pelets will hold a pretty tight pattern at 50yds but without the proper chokes you will have some off the target... maybe not the first time you shoot at the paper but you will TRUST me... now handguns... my primary handgun is an HK usp 40 why the 40? personal prefrence.. all handguns will stop a human being with the proper shot placement... thats where I come in....
if you own a handgun and do not fire at least and I mean at least 3000 rounds a year your not shooting nearly enough... you miase well sell me your gun...
how do you train at the shooting range? most people when they get handguns start shooting human siliutes targets right? well thats bad... next time you shoot say you want a tactial training target... it's numbered and has shapes like so
now why that target? cause this is where your shooting buddy.. comes into play... he yells off commands from behind you... "square 4" or center mass... sometimes he will yell false commands ... then you shoot at nothing... now all of these drills should be done from the CCW position from your holster with the ammo you carry.. both at night and during day... you HAVE to shoot at night.. 90% of all shootings are at night.. and if you don;t have the know how to look past muzzle flair you may " temporarly blind" yourself and render you and every weapon you have useless...
now on to the fun part... how are you going to win hotel rooms and possiably my company? well I am a pretty confident person... so whats the closest thing to real world sitiations?
Paintball...
heres how we will do it... I will run with a team of 4 others of my choice... we will all play with handguns with 8 shots per mag... you guys.. the keyboard warriors.. the ones that know so much about guns and what not... you guys will have full auto machine guns with over 2000 rds... if you can shoot me out you get a free night in vegas at the palms... thats room only with 100 dollar credit ( room service , movies, ect ect,) now if someone does happen to shoot me which is possiable... I will show you that handguns in the right hands will stomp anything...
so whos up for it?
plus I think would be a nice daytime event during internext or before when everyone is arriving... I got a crew of 3 already I just want anthony on my team and we iwll play 5 on 30 all day long... whos up for it?
