I'm saving up for a CMMG 14.7" with a 1/7 twist. When I get my hands on that I'm shopping for a BAC-capable ACOG and some sort of flip-up BUIS.

I'm with a couple of other posters on the subject of target identification at range. It's vital. Picture this: you're in a Katrina situation. It's dusk. You see a pair of men coming up the street; both are in dark clothing, both are clearly carrying long arms. You see them ducking in and out of houses and come to the conclusion that they are armed looters. You engage. Upon closing the distance, you realize you just shot two cops carrying shotguns. With 4x magnification, you would have had a much better chance of realizing they had badges pinned to their shirts.


Excellent post. While we talk of Zombie wars, and peak oil survivalism it's more likely that apart from accessorizing and customizing our man -toys the most likely event where you would need your rifle is in a limited and local breakdown of civil society along the lines of Katrina or LA riots. Woe to you who inadvertently engages or assumes a threatening posture with LE, Mil, or emergency responders.


Common sense is neither. What is common hardly makes sense and what makes sense is unfortunately uncommon.

GWB allowed FEMA to utilize Blackwater Security to violate our 2nd Ammendment during Katrina, they went door to door, armed, collecting weapons from civilians. Woe be it unto the Blackwater stooges to walk down my street, because I have 24 loaded PMAGs that they will have to survive before they get to my front porch.....

Is this a documented fact, or just an urban myth?

I am sorry, is it necessary for you to be soo insulting. I simplified the matter by putting it on the shoulders of the leader/figurehead of our country. I m sure it was much more complicated than that however given the continuously flawed manner in which that trained chimp has been running our country off the trcks for nearly 8 years it seemed fitting. I will not stoop 2 ur level by returning the insult Dill.

Last I checked GWB appointed his buddy Brown to the job. A = B. B = C. A = C.

Blackwater had nothing to do with any gun confiscations. They only had one federal government contract during Katrina, and that was providing guards for FEMA shelters.

Blackwater did do some work for local contracts, IIRC one was guarding a research facility, and volunteer helping with the evacuation. Part of that volunteer work had them working with teams of LEOs. Some of the teams, with Blackwater contractors/volunteers, might have participated in the gun confiscations, but I doubt it most of the confiscations seemed to revolve around groups from anti-gun areas.

As usual Blackwater becomes the whipping boy for all that goes wrong. "It wasn't the soldiers, or the police, no it was Blackwater."

The reason I said it the way I did was I normally find your posts insightful and well thought out. But, this post was so...off base for someone like you it surprised me.

It was not an insult, if you took it that way I appologize as that was not my intention.

Further, I have yet to see any evidence that BW took anyones guns. Even if they did take someones guns how is the GWB fault? The causation between GWB and BW on the ground is the same as GWB and my grandma stubbing her toe.

Anyway, this is not the intent of this thread and if we are going to continue on this route lets bring it to the Lounge where it belongs.

Love the eotech. If it runs out, it still lines up well enough for that POF front site to do most of the work.

Trust be told, I would probably reach for my 20 inch Bargain Bin gun with carry handle. ( assuming I would reach for an AR of course Smile)

You wanna take on a squad of Blackwater trigger-pullers, you better have a lot more than 24 loaded PMAGs. Close Air Support would be a good start.

Just think of contractors as Agents. Remember what Cypher said about Agents? "Run. Run your ass off!"

Not thin skinned, I was just calling him out on his party foul. I lost zero sleep over Dill's comments, and hold no ill will against him. We are all adults here, and should be able to carry on discussions like gentlemen. That is all. Being a Marine does not make you a neanderthal. Let's all keep it friendly. That was also a comment he could have taken off-line.

Unless you kick in doors for a living, criticisms regarding the ACOG for CQB are overrated, IMHO. It's a carbine, but it's still a rifle. I want to hit melons at 300+.
