I was watching Ashleigh Banfield last night and a reporter was on there talking about the kill range of an AR-15/M16. He had flags at 100 yd increments set out to 600 yds and was making claims about deadliness out to that distance. I guess our boys in Afghan would love to have that round.
They also showed someone with an AR just lettin loose with some rounds....The deadly assault rifle....Deadly propaganda |

I don't think 730 yards is right either. Even when watching the news clips, it looks alot closer. Around 150-200 yds.

"A sniper saves lives by judicially taking out a few select targets and possibly saving the hundreds who would have been killed in a major assault."'
hee hee, no offense but I just gotta comment...I think what was meant is "judiciously".... I think lawyers are the ones who take out targets judicially. |

Quoted: AR'S ARE NOT IN DANGER If they determine that the weapon was an AR, chances are that they will NOT be able to ban it. The reason is that any rifle of any caliber could have did the same thing. They would have to ban every single rifle in existence. But if there was a "Heat" style shootout involving an AR, then it may be in danger. SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO ALL FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF VICTIMS. AR's are [i]always[/i] in danger. They look evil, and are easy targets for the antigunners. Doesn't matter if the guy used an NEF Handi-Rifle, 50 year old bolt-action or a Contender. An AR is what the anti's will hold over their heads as they dance on the graves of the victims. |

Anybody ever hear of a brass catcher? They only cost around 39.95. They did find (a)brass around 150 yds. from school shooting though.
