Episode 11: Firearms Primer
Sunday, November 18, 2012 6:42
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Today we finish the “Gun podcast” that I started on in Episode 10, We Talk about everything from revolvers to Assault Rifles. This isnt a comprehensive talk on EVERY weapon out there, This is focusing on my areas of expertise and the common rifles, pistols, etc. out there that you should look at for your home and preps.
This episode I talk about:
- Pistol, Revolvers and Semi-Autos, what are the big differences?
- Shotguns, Why they are the BEST home defense weapon available
- Assault Rifles, why I pick the AR and other options for you out there.
- Why “Tac’ing” out your weapon can be useful or just a waste of your money (see above photo!)
- What not to waste your money on ‘cool’ toys, focus on whats really needed
NOTES:
- I mentioned shooting a Moose with a 5.56….I have never done it personally, but there are stories of folks who have, successfully, but often had to shoot multiple times and spend hours tracking it down after lung shots. Yes its possible, Yes in a survival situation you COULD do this, but its NOT ideal, not a 2nd or 3rd Choice in my book. I meant to convey it in these terms, but after listening to the podcast, it didnt come out as i wanted and I dont want my fellow hunters getting on my butt about it!
- Great Book on Tactical Shooting called GREEN EYES BLACK RIFLES by Kyle Lamb, This is a TACTICAL shooting guide, but very helpful in honing your skills
- I cut out about 45 minutes of the podcast because it was already TOOO LONG, so the sections i cut out were on AR- Modifications, and Precision Rifles (i.e. what people call ‘sniper’ rifles) so it wasnt THAT pertinent to the podcast, but i figured over 90 minutes was long enough!
