Any of you like customizing your rifles/shotguns?

I purchased my Bushmaster with red dot from buds for $699.  This website sales plane bushmater without red dot for $719.

CF is local and you can pick up without shipping costs, but not a bad price

No, man. You should know a human body and drywall aren't going to stop a round. You've gotta account for where that thing ends up.

We did a comparison test between a 40 caliber mp-5 with hollow point rounds and a ar15 using 55 grain hollow point .223 rounds inside of a vacant house. We found that the mp-5 launched those pistol rounds straight through the house and kept going. The ar15 rounds barely got through one room. The pistol round hollow point cavities fill with drywall and cut straight through. The 223 rounds tumbled and lodged in the walls. We were surprised. Web shot a total of 30 rounds each. No 223 rounds left the house. All the 40 cal rounds did.

tell me about that m1a

A1 or A2? I'm having a fire sale on the A2s in Europe. Have to make room for the A2s

ok now that's just way too far over the top

Not really. I use mine for small game hunting. Always trying to improve my camouflage.

I have a 20 inch bull barrel, 6X24 scope, and the bipod that you have.  That's pretty much it.

 

 

Use it for target practice, but I will be getting a "standard" barrel, and a smaller scope for hunting/fun.

Well hollow points are one thing. I guess I should have specified FMJ. Still weird, since the MP5/40's muzzle velocity is only about a third of the AR's.

The M1A2 is a rifle too? I only knew it as an Abrams.

 

Either... I have nothing for long range targets.

It's a tank. You know A1s leftover from the Cold War, having a fire sale to bring in the A2s to combat Russian aggression? Just sucking the fun out of everything.

The 223 rounds take time to settle during their flight. They tend to fishtail and almost tumble. Some of the holes in the dry wall you could see the round was traveling completely side ways. We couldn't get them through more than two walls. The cavity in the 40 hollow points filled with drywall and turned into hardball missiles! Sliced straight the house. Again, I wouldn't have believed it if I had not done it. I have read ballistic reports on the 223 rounds and this type of performance is common.
