Depends on the ammo and barrel length. 8 inch is a no goo with anything, 10.5 works to maybe 40 with the best ammo.

My understanding is TAP and similar rounds are still very effective out past 50m+ from a 10.5" or 11.5" barrel. The fragmentation floor is signficantly lower. I could be wrong though.

No idea, they all go too fast for me to see. They’re a lot of fun though. |

They have their place. Picture yourself back to back in a Humvee, engaging BGs on either side, which size would you want? Talking to military and reservists who were issued 20" rifles and had to do just what I said, they, to the man, would have taken anything shorter and most would have wanted an 11.5" Commando type rig to use in situations like that.

They're handy in vehicles. During a carbine class a few months ago we were shooting out of a moving vehicle and the guy with the 11.5" AR had the easiest time moving it out the window or between the door jam.
