"One Bullet - One Ballgame" [View all]

Is an old school slogan for military firearms instructors. If is absolutely accurate that the individual who is capable firing one well placed round at a time in the heat of battle has the best possible chance to survive the encounter.

Differing dramatically from mounted machine guns, "Assault Weapons" are designed to be man carried, automatic, high volume, high ammunition consumption firearm that can rarely sustain continuous operation for as much as one minute due to overheating, jamming, and the shear weight and volume of bullets required. They have virtually no point accuracy and are designed to strike fear in and suppress accurate return fire from an opponent in a defensive position by an attacker attempting to seize / over run that defensive position.

No matter what it looks like, that is the very definition of an Assault Weapon.

With very rare exception, Assault Weapons have been illegal in the USA since long before I was born.

Semi-automatic firearms allow for very accurate, well aimed first round and rapid following, well aimed rounds.

A man carried, automatic assault firearm is designed as an Offensive, Fire Suppression Weapon.

A man carried, semi-automatic is a "One Bullet - One Ballgame" weapon allowing an individual to engage one or more individual targets very accurately and rapidly at extended range.

No matter what it looks like, that is the very definition of a Defensive Weapon and a very capable hunting arm as well.

Semper Fi,
