practical ? a combat rifle is not practical for hunting,
Functionality, maybe for combat.

No its more like saying that a hammer is impractical for driving a nail.

What is impractical about a firearm that is deadly accurate, impervious to weather, egronomic as heck, and fun to shoot to boot?

Im not trying to argue. I just want to understand other people's logic.

im all about using the right tool for the job, so far ive never needed a 30 round clip for hunting a deer or hog, hell im only alowed 5 deer a year, a full clip would last me 5 years thats if i took my 5 a year..
AR's are about image, i guarantee it.

Its a MAGAZINE! And if you dont need 30 rounds they make smaller "clips".

Playboy is a JOKE! Canceled my subscription because it was 90% advertising! They did send me a good DVD though.

So how do you feel about simi-auto shotguns?

This is why no one cares about what you have to say. Well that and the vid you posted once of an "effective" hog kill with a .22 hornet that really showed a hog writhing in pain for a couple minutes.

That wasn't a few seconds and it wasn't nerves.

Well it comes to preference then, not practicality if you want to get technical. For me, a bolt action is not practical when I come upon a herd of hogs and my job is to eradicate them. It's also not practical for me to duct tape a flashlight onto a rifle when I can just snap one on my AR for hunting hogs at night.

JCB was just trying to correct your term usage; this will help:



Anti-gunner's often misuse the term "clip", which frustrates many of us.

The practicality argument is offensive since groups such as the brady campaign try to use that same argument to say that we do not need any semi-autos because they are "not practical for hunting or sporting". I don't think you meant it, but we all must be careful not to throw anyone under the bus--I guarantee you they will be coming after your bolt and pump actions as soon as they take away our semi-autos. So kindly consider us your "buffer" if nothing else and let's agree that for many applications (maybe not yours in particular since you only hunt deer, but Ours), an AR is indeed practical for hunting.

ive always called it a clip and probably always will, since the days of my marlin .22 back in the '70s its been know as a clip, didnt know it bothered you guys so much, kinda assinine if you ask me. But ill try. I do call them tactical rifles and not assualt rifles however.
And I firmly believe in the right to use them, even if its just against tyranny, which what the 2nd is all about, nothing in the 2nd about hunting.
