Anyone have experience with a AR-10? Need to know if it a good rifle to shoot and is it good as a secondary weapon?

I looked into it a little and it seems to only makes sense if you're consistently shooting 500+ yards and still need knockdown power (eg. hunting) :hubie: Otherwise, the AR-10 is overkill

An AR-15 will get there but won't have much behind it so it's only good for plinking at that range.

I wound up buy one on a impulse buy but I don’t plan it to be my primary weapon regardless. I’m going to get a 9mm caliber gun later on and have that as my main gun. The AR would just be my fun gun at the range and worst case scenario weapon. In that case, I don’t care about overkill if I’m trying to survive or in a situation where it has to be used for protection of others. Also, if I don’t like it, I can just trade it in for something else :manny:.

I seen uscca and us law shield talk about this.
them black rifles can make you look like a gun nut to a jury.
Something with wood furniture makes you look like a farmer protecting his land.
This homesteader 9mm takes glock mags and looks like something even the most ardent anti gun person's grandpa kept in the house growing up

i was thinking about using this as my primary long gun, but mostly because i'm trying to have everything in the same caliber for cost savings on ammo bulk deals.

The anti-gun folks are making horrible arguments. They really think Big Daddy Government can protect people from everything.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions. My main view is that there need to be some type of national consensus with some gun laws. At the same time, if someone has some ill will toward someone or themselves, they are going to do it with or without a gun. Most people who own firearms only use them either for self defense, hunting or just to shoot at the range. It just the small percentage that makes everything look bad, which is understandable.

I've asked this a million times. What more gun laws do you want?

The National consensus are the Federal laws. that we all have to observe and states have the ability to make their own gun laws (within limits). No they all won't be uniform. That's just how the United States works.

Machine guns are pretty much illegal, felons possessing weapons are crime, devices like Glock switches are illegal.
What more?

The video explains the context of our convo.
but essentially lawyers say, everything from the type of ammo you use to the type of gun, and even the custimization made to it, can sometimes sway a jury.
A simple self defense shooting can suddenly be, he was just waiting for his opportunity to kill someone.
A gun covered in punisher logos filled with RIP rounds, lasers etc. sends a different message than some old shotgun grandpa passed down to you in his will

There shouldn’t be variance on guns laws for each state but that will not change because of the constitution. I personally don’t mind having to wait for a background check in order to get a firearm because I only going to use it for the range and home defense. Everyone has their own personal reason for a weapon and as long it’s not for illicit purposes, they should be able to get one. I do agree with you that the government can only do so much and sometimes people are going to do crazy sh*t no matter what.
