There is a certain accessory item that you commonly advocate, called the bayonet. <br /><br />“The Throw Point: If armed with a lightweight carbine (e.g. M-16) it may be possible to use the one handed throw point method.”<br /><br />“If armed with a heavier rifle (.e.g. M-1 or M-14) keep both hands on the rifle (awkward, and the one handed thrust puts more distance between yourself and your adversary, and offers up less of a target. Also keep in mind Peace Out's Donner example above)”.<br /><br />Chapter 8, Bayonet fighting - P.128-129 of The Military Manual of Self Defense: Anthony B.

By the time you're toting that around, you'll be depleted of just about every asset you'd accumulated before the event, including food. Don't forget about the Donner Party tragedy from the 1800's. The survivors who were trying to hike out for help saw a deer, but nobody was strong enough to lift their rifle to shoot it.

If you are an attacker and I wing you at 25+ meters your fight is over if you can find cover and/or concealment. It doesn’t matter what caliber I hit you with. Double tapping, which is NOT spray and pray by the way, is for CQB. In a close fight you double tap, regardless of the stopping power of your weapon, because you are trying to quickly eliminate threats, move past them without fear and avoid grappling. Once again I refer to my friends, the Chechen rebels, who put many a Russian out of the fight using .22 rifles with cheap scopes at ranges of 100m or less.<br /><br />JeSteRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-74288540174302710342018-08-12T16:15:52.511-07:002018-08-12T16:15:52.511-07:00Fitting a rifle to your body shape is a worthwhile...Fitting a rifle to your body shape is a worthwhile thing, if you were not born Medium-Regular in all ways.<br /> <br />Muzzle brake can do several things (not all at once, with trade-offs) including reduce flash, reduce felt recoil, be a tool or tool-holder, direct noise/blast to the left-right-up around the shooter, among other things. <br /><br />The weight and shape of the stock can make a big difference in felt recoil.

I agree with your premise but I'm different that way. Not necessarily about your recommendation but that I am pretty much anti-gov't drone on all aspects. If you'tr not paying dearly to the local electricity establishment you simply are not taking care of your kids properly and therefore the village must step in. For the children of course. I didn't read the article so there may indeed be a problem but is that what the gov't is for? I think not. The media likes to throw that "malnourished" word around. Compared to kids of today, kids in the 50's and 60's normally looked malnourished.

It has the "kick like a mule" problem you mentioned so, even though the RIFLE is accurate the SHOOTER (me) is not. I found a muzzle brake online from Witt Machine that cut the recoil in half. Now it's no more punishing than an AR 15. It cost nearly $100 but you can make a cheap bold action rifle soo much more comfortable (an hence, more accurate) with this little beauty.

BUT! For their capability attributes there is deficiencies to consider. The manipulation in tight confines, humping the weapon and ammo load with other gear over distances, armory servicing or repairs may be more complex. Carbines of the ar15/ak47 types are the best compromises and have globally proved themselves to get the job done. I would even recommend minions incur some small debt if necessary to stock up the ammo, like right now quick like. There is two election cycles on top of other black flag ops that can jam up the supply. Plan accordingly.
