    I have one that is and it's rather nasty, with a .223 you'd have a better chance of living when shot...

    I regularly used to re-barrel 8mm Mausers to
    .30-06 due to poor bullet selection with 8mm.

    I always liked 8mm however preferred the wide variety of ammo selection and common availability in most general stores of .30-06, that might not ordinarily carry 8mm.

    Hey Tim, your statement about FMJ bullets in the M16 platform was wrong on just about every level. Next.

    You guys discuss putting holes in paper as if it is the end all, be all.

    You ever shot anyone? Cuz, unless you have, essentially, you are talking about how well you put holes in paper.

    Cuz in an urban guerrilla setting, you guys USUALLY don't have any experience with that. And if you did do that, You are OVER IT.

    First, as you well know, you sight in a firearm on paper in order to adjust sights.

    I've had my experiences, including some hairy situations as a LEO, and I've got the scars and commendations concurrent.

    The fact is that your "trust" is irrelevant. Until someone proves themselves incompetent or negligent they are assumed to be exercising their Constitutional Rights responsibly, and until they DO prove themselves untrustworthy it isn't anybody's business but theirs.

    Guys that DID war,, don't dig war. Guys that shoot at a range, haven't a clue what pressure is.

    Any part will do. It would be nice to help explain how the brain of liberal works or for that matter doesn't.

    If the liberal debate is about the lethality of the .223/5.56 round, then they truly have no idea at all about rifle ballistics. The round is on the weaker end of rifle power, regardless of the velocity of the round and the emotion placed around it like the quote. Should that radiologist witness the devastation possible by a .308, 30-06, or even a lever action 30-30, they'd be far more disturbed. The point is that the danger lies in the human projecting power toward another human, yet not one protest about the tide pod generation producing these kinds of killers who use schools as shooting grounds. Where's the outrage at young people who choose such actions? THAT is what we should be angry at.

    It's nothing more than liberal angst.

    Yeah, their hypocrisy runs deep. No mention about addressing wounded minds that are twisted enough to shoot others in schools. No anger at all it seems, as if the person isn't of concern and only the tool commits the crime.

    The whole story is a total lie and liberal hysteria. If this guy has done any degree of trauma radiology and they all have, he's seen much worse than a 5.56 wound. He just forgot to mention the trauma that a teen had with a head on MVA.

    Believe it or not, most humans DONT enjoy war. Most ranges would not like my shooting from the hip practice. Luckily, it was usually deserted.

    Conservative numbers state that about 10% of soldiers enjoy war and have a good time. Are you talking about working from a holster? Please make some sense.

    Many humans, however, seem to be quite dedicated to the cause of killing one another in whatever manner possible, through whatever means possible.

    When you see Freinds, Soldiers, Fellow Officers, torn apart as rag dolls and you can do nothing for them Medically, since there is nothing left to work on,
    War is quite disheartening.

    No holster. Just gun down, grab, and shoot. One fluid motion. I had a crazed assassin from Viet Nam after me. He was a demolitions expert, and rich from patents he held for war items he developed. Cops warned me. So, I had to be faster than a pro, if I was to survive.

    Pretty fast.
