(18,585 posts)Owe their history to a military weapon.
Even bolt action 'huntin gunz' are derived from military arms. (Mauser, etc)
Pump-action shotguns? WWI trench sweepers.
[div class='excerpt']"Grandpap's 30-06 is more deadly than any of these so-called 'assault weapons'."
Complete bullshit.
I'm sure you'll now post a picture of a World War I British soldier to try and prove your point, but really it's just gibberish to justify an unhealthy clinging to guns.
The .30-06 is the cartridge used in many battle rifles. It is truly high-power. Range for effective, targeted fire to stop a man sized target is 1000 yards (and still have enough energy to punch a soda can-sized hole.)
So-called 'assault weapons' such as AR-15's and AK variants use intermediate caliber rounds. Range is no more than 500 yards for 7.62 and 300 yards for 5.56.
5.56 on the left, .30-06 in the middle.
