    Varmints. It is not used to hunt big game unless you use a AR-10 since the round is weaker than a hunting round.

    They were used in full scale assaults in the war in the Pacific. Along with sidearms and knives.

    If you were curious as you pretend to be

    I never discussed a bull pup
    I was talking about a gun with double drum 100 bullet magazine and a mod that made it essentially an automatic weapon

    Please read my post
    I used that as an illustration of a certain type of gun enthusiast... who i then specifically sai would probably never harm anyone

    You read that, right?

    So why are you saying i was talking about mass murderer using these. weapons....



    Blah blah blah
    This has nothing to do with what i wrote
    Do you read?
    Also not what i wrote
    Jeeze.... now we are on to abortion
    I am not for banning guns
    But for crazies i would make an exception

    LOL, the left likes to always bring up the mod that makes a semi- automatic into an automatic, of course, which has never been used in any shooting.

    Doesn't matter people don't have to explain their desire to own a type of gun to you.
    It's a right.

    What i do think should be explained is why gun rights folks have such poor reading comprehension.

    Your whole post calls into question why people have the guns they have.

    These type of guns in the hands of the people who own them secures the free state.

    Them owning these guns or not is absolutely none of your business. You have no rights to suggest registration. That's called infringement which is expressly forbidden.

    Hell, collapse from a heart attack or any other reason in the pen and domestic hogs will have you eaten alive before you can make yourself die.

    Just one boar in your tent camp in the middle of the night is big trouble.

    In WW1 the germans complained of a the slam fire action pump shotgun as a "weapon of mass destruction". The Germans. Who used MUSTARD GAS.

    Shotguns have always been a multi-purpose weapon, especially the 8 gauge coach gun for grizzlies and train robbers.

    Well, two things. First, there are some that think that due to the way hogs react to hydrostatic shock, that the .223 is a pretty good hog gun. Second, define big game. I don't define Florida deer which average 125 lbs as big game. .223 is not a bad deer gun in Florida. Also, and AR-15 can be obtained in calibers that are suitable for big game--the 6.8mm SPC, the 6.5mm Grendel, the .350 Legend, the .50 Beowulf, etc.

    Here you can't hunt deer with one in .223 but can if you use an upper that handles a handgun round. I think the reasoning is that it is so flat here that a rifle round will travel too far.

    Well....if you are a bad shot and need to take out a whole herd....it's a hunting rifle.

    I’ve seen primitive weapons like axes and hatchets take down trees. :)

    Only one I can recall is the 1997 North Hollywood shootout with SKS converted to full auto. Not sure what method they used.

    They used illegally modified AK-47 variants (Type 56 which are the chinese version), as well as a modified XM-15, and a modified HK-91. None were SKs.

    IIRC, that is what they reported at the time, but it appears you are correct. So this still seems to be the only shooting involving an illegally modified semi-auto that I know of.
