Re: .308 or 5.56 whats your go to rifle and why? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: DP425</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The website you linked just goes to show how ridiculous this post is- at least link to someone that knows wtf he's talking about...

How far is a 5.56 effective? How much further is a military similar grade .308 round deadly out to? I can carry four times as much 5.56 but is it as combat effective? How many rounds on average does a 5.56 take to drop someone? Is the 5.56 the 9mm of rifles and the .308 the .45 acp? I carry a...

Re: .308 or 5.56 whats your go to rifle and why? Any info you guys have would help. This topic is insanely misleading since most people that have an opinion lack combat experiance. I have been training on an M4 and realized I could of possibly spent the time on a better system. Suppose 100...

Re: .308 or 5.56 whats your go to rifle and why? I figured you guys have the info that I need. There are alot of misleading sources of information out there. I more or less want to have a rifle that will give me an advantage. I then want to impliment that rifle into regular training. But, I...

I own and have owned many rifles. I am still trying to narrow down a rifle that will give me an advantage. I want to pound it at the range and master it. I want to learn how to detail strip and change parts. I want to know the rifle as well as myself. I must run a suppressor on it. It must have...

I bought another m1a standard. Which match ammo is the best and most reliable? I am thinking federal gold medal match in 168 grain? How much better will this group then Winchester NATO? Does the gold metal match have sealed poweder and primers? Will 168 feed the best in an m1a?

Re: How do you keep dogs away in the field? I was allways curious. I figured getting out after an operation would be bad if they have dogs. I didnt know if you threw something down or what.

Re: How much of an advantage is night vision? They are USMC Infantry. They used PVS14 and the one said he broke his at SOI. The PVS 14 is on a different sight plain than the ACOG :-(. If it worked with an ACOG I would be sold. I think it would be good for night time navigation on foot and in...

My buddies all tell me night vision is a joke and that they didnt like it in the military. I wanted a PVS14 to run with an Acog but found out that I cant. I am limited to an eotech. How much of an advantage is it with an eotech and can I drive and safely navigate on foot at night...

How do you keep sentry dogs away before and search dogs when your leaving an area?

Re: What large pack do you use for extended missions? I have an allice but it wont hold enough for me. I use a Kifaru EMR for 1-2 weeks of gear and a Kifaru navigator for a 3 day pack. Do any of you guys not like Kifaru?

Re: Should I ditch my M1A for a DSA FAL? My main concern is that the FAL will run much longer in much worse conditions with less cleaning. Granted any rifle needs to be cleaned but I prefer the one that needs less. I want it for a survival rifle to defend a postion. Im going to be tired...

I have a USMC ILBE that rides above my hips. Is there an easy way to make it ride lower? I took the velcro and hip belt off. I am having a hard time moving the frame up. Anyone have info or an owners manual?

I was wondering what size pack you use for an extended mission. I just bought a Kifaru EMR which is 7500 CUI. I will only load it to 4,000 CUI but like the ease of packing. Its a pain to pack your stuff in a smaller pack. I find it easier to take the same ammount into a larger pack. This allows...

I have an M1A and am thinking about ditching it for a folding stocked DSA FAL. My main concern is the M1A's long term field reliability. Seems like the FAL runs better in a dirty combat enviornment. I want to have a .308 that runs and runs even though its not my main go to rifle.

What is your go to defensive rifle? If you could take one in a Katrina situation, what would it be? I went from an AK to an M4 but now use the Sig. It seems to be the best of both worlds. An AR is great for clean patrols in resupplied areas but my rifle must fire every time...

I did some research and came up with alot of opinions. Does anyone know a solid way to determine the max effective lethal range of the following rounds on a human target? It doesnt make sense to me that you can hit something but it might not be lethal at long range? Does barrel length matter for...

Anyone use a suppressor to defend themself? Anyone plan to? I am thinking about suppressing a AAC TI RANT for my .45 glock. Seems like it would be fun. How much quiter would a 9mm be? Also considering suppressing a defensive SHTF rifle. Considering an ak47, sig 556, FAL, M1A or M4. How would...

Re: century arms romanian dragunov insurgent weapon? Is the century psl the exact same rifle that they use or is it a replica parts gun POS like their AK's. For 500 bucks it seems like a decent collector gun if its the exact same one that is fielded by some countries...
