Of course I am not a big fan of assault rifles, what purpose do they really serve for the everyday home owner/hunter, but you can be sure i am going to want to fire this thing! 🙂

Driving a corvette to work everyday doesn't serve more of a purpose than a mid range import, but I bet it's alot more fun. Just as I bet that pup right there would be. 😉

What's wrong with shooting guns for the fun of it? Shooting targets is pretty fun. Shooting old appliances though... now that's ammunition well spent. 😀
 
Should be easy to convert that baby to full automatic..

Take that into McDonalds and see the reactions of the people.

AR-15s are pretty fun for target shooting, and I'm told they're quite good for varmint hunting as well.

Woa. Seems like a hell of a round for varmin, but I guess that'd actually be the more humane thing: small explosion killing the buggers instantly, rather than maiming them with a .22

That's the idea - I guess it gives them a head start toward becoming compost! I have an acquaintance that used to use his AR-15 to take care of coyotes on his farm as well.

The round was originally intended as such.

Oh and that's a given too (for me)

If I've got >= coyotes on my property, (which I don't but if I did) Gramps old breach loading double barrel is not going to cut it for me. AR-15 would probably do, but I think I'd rather have something ~7.62 around.

I've had no expirence hunting bear, but would you think an AR-15 would stop a full sized grizzly (or otherwise)?

No. Shotgun slugs have been known to bounce off their skulls.

I'd want a nice high powered rifle and a bigass wheelgun to back it up.

Big game rifles are where firearms start to get fun. 😎

Word. It would require a LOT of shots (or one or two very lucky ones) to take down a fully-grown brown bear with a 5.56mm. Those things are nature's tanks.

holy shiet. You're telling me you can't stop the bear even with a full automatic gun? I'm sure you can... The bear would have about 50 rounds of bullets by the time it would get to me...

A fully automatic rifle in that situation would all but guarantee that at least 29 of your 30 rounds would be well over the bear's head. The reason they integrated burst fire into the later versions of the M-16 was that panicked soldiers would fire entire magazines, with the barrel creeping higher and higher from recoil, without re-aiming, completely missing their target in the process.

Brown bears have the ability to survive a startling amount of blood loss, so they are one of the few animals that game wardens recommend shooting repeatedly, even if they appear to be dead. Even if you shot a grizzly with several 5.56 bullets, it might survive long enough to charge and maul you. This is a real risk even when hunters use proper bear rifles, which are many times more powerful than an AR-15.
 
Thankfully two rounds of #6 birdshot were enough to scare away the black bear that thought my roommate got too close to it's cubs. He said after the second shot (right at her head) she stopped, looked at him, then turned and walked back.

Saigon, take some pics of appliance destroying with that thing 🙂..

Bobby? 😕

😛 Sorry, I just happen to know a guy that actually did that. Several times. Once to an old fridge when it died, and another time to a water pump when he couldn't get it to work.

As for the OP: nice!
