(21,765 posts)I reckon I could walk up with my concealed carry pistol and take out a half dozen of these assault rifle toting cretins before they could unsling their unwieldy rifles and get a shot off.
These weapons would be good in a zombie apocalypse, but not much use for a situation someone may actually encounter.
