[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Standard vs. Shorty RPD

Posted: 10/22/2013 5:38:17 PM EDT

Which one should I get!!?? I found one of each both with the wood furnature and only a $150 difference. As a collector I'm thinking the standard is more "original" but the shorty is just so damn bad ass looking with the M60 flash hinder and the shortened barrel. I can only get one so don't say buy both, I would if I could. What do you guys think?

If I had the option on mine, I would have got the shorty.

I like my full size, but I think I'd get more giggle factor out of the shorter barrel.

This is arfcom, so get both.

You will realize that one is not enough anyway.

I just got the traditional one so I can't tell you which one is more fun to shoot but I like them both so far.

I'd get the longer/traditional one first.

This.....unless you were getting it for some real-deal application that was better suited to a shorter barrel.

It's already somewhat unwieldy, a front-heavy longer barrel doesn't help that any. If you anticipate shooting at more distant targets then go with the longer barrel, but if you are anticipating shorter distances and might need to carry it at length or handle it around vehicles and buildings get it shortened. That's my opinion.
