    Think for a second bro, make the letter "C" with your hand, and that is roughly the circumference of a 40mm round.

    He meant .40cal, but is so stupid that he said 40mm.

    It looks like "SiNNiK's" Post # 83 proved you wrong, again.

    Incidents in which "brave homeowner protects family" are plentiful enough so that they don't have to be falsely fabricated.

    For example, I wouldn't be writing this today if I had not been armed when confronted by violent thugs whose intentions were not to make either me or my neighbors any wealthier, healthier or happier.

    More BS, a light rifle is much better suited for shooting from a small enclosed location as the muzzle is not just inches forward of the shooters face.

    It's clear you never have.

    Good advice considering how unqualified and misinformed it is.

    Missing period, trivial and petty aren't we?

    No, it's not just a missing period, it's not .40mm, it's also evidence that those who seek to impose "reasonable" laws on those of us who know what we're talking about don't have the first clue in regards to firearms.

    They are not qualified to determine what is "reasonable" and what is not.

    Words matter.

    Actually when shooting from an enclosed location the muzzle blast from an AR-15 is really not all that bad, more so if the muzzle is extended out of the area something which is tough to do with an handgun.

    If your weapon/ammo of choice doesn’t penetrate body armor it’s a good idea to have the ability to make a head shot. Can’t argue with that.

    Cool little gun.

    Guess you missed what I was trying to point out, read post 4 I was not the poster who used the .40 mm wording.

    Ok now get over it.

    Go take a long hike on a short pier.

    You want to launch a 40mm rifle grenade from a crawl space?

    Didn't say you were the one who used it. You did defend it however. I plan to be in your way at every turn. You need to know what you are talking about when it comes to discussing how to circumvent the 2A, otherwise you will get called out on your ignorance. Don't be stupid.

    Why do cops use select fire M4s and submachine guns like the UMP or MP5 when breaching an enclosed dwelling?

    Truth be told the Democrats don't want everyone's guns, they only want the ones owned by the law abiding.

    Is probably ok though, HE rounds need 10 meters travel before the grenade arms itself. Most likely be outside the house when it explodes, if it makes it that far.

    Say, why do cops and military teams breach and clear buildings they expect to encounter armed resistance in with select fire M4s? They've all got sidearms, why do dedicated tac teams use rifles to clear these enclosed spaces?

    I agree with you on this, so am puzzled as to why you chose to get snarky with me. What's your deal? You support the 2A or not?

    I'm just incredulous at the choice of defensive weapon

    I did not defend it I criticized it as being a foolish claim.

    I know way more about the subject than you can ever realize, ever heard of the Jack Hagler Self Defense Act, I helped write it, I am ultra supportive of the Second, a Certified Firearms Instructor, former NRA Training Counselor and a private range owner.

    So you can knock off your petty threats.

    You mean the ones who breach and clear with select fire rifles?

    There are no laws prohibiting the ownership of a tank, what is restricted is the cannon.

    I happens hundreds of times a day in the U.S.

    Here are a few thousand news reports of such complied by the NRA.

    No guns should be confiscated or banned.

    To be fair, those two entities have differing goals when "clearing" buildings. Law enforcement is normally interested in apprehending persons within the building, whereas the military will normally be interested in getting the enemy to abandon the building.

    At Fort Benning we underwent MOUT training which stipulated that we climb the building and make our own entry into the building from the roof and flush the enemy out from the top, if at all possible. We used regular length M16's while performing the maneuvers. No collapsible stocks, no short barrels. Far easier than the LEO's job of going in to apprehend.

    LEO's would probably make better use of the M4's as it's smaller profile helps with weapon retention, moving off the x, and target acquisition as well as placing multiple rounds on target in rapid succession.

    At eight feet, a handgun is far more maneuverable than a shoulder arm and has adequate knock down power.
