I’m an amateur gunsmith. How long you got to read stupid gun controversies? Check out the 9mm vs. .45ACP videos. The testing and talk never fucking ends. Colt .45 for me. :)
I got a take that never comes up. Single-shot/break-action rifles and shotguns are wildly effective. Crack it open, remove spent shell, feed a fresh one, snap it closed, aim, fire, repeat. Shotguns that eject the spent shell are the bomb and some people break that function on purpose!
No one argues that automatic weapons are effective, only good for giggles and suppressing fire in combat. You can’t hold your aim point and just waste ammo. Single-shots are the opposite. You’re forced to slow down and really make the shot. Once you get the hang of your gun, you get in a rhythm and can unload lead like hell. Got to where my 1950s 12-gauge kick shells over my shoulder!
If I had to hunt or defend myself, prosecute any sort of violence, and NOT have my AR-15, and NOT be half awake at 3AM, I think I’d rather have my single-shot rifles or shotguns. I’m certainly better at target practice with a single-shot.
Best part? <slight exaggeration> They’re unbreakable, can’t malfunction or jam, no magazine to fuck up. Got explosives in it? It will go bang.
