Kinda covers it. Based on the parameters as laid out by the OP, this is actually the first thing that popped in to my head. Heck, I only own one AR15 and one AR10 and I never even hunt with either. However, screw that fighting with Indians by knives, hatchets and single shot rifles which eventually need to be used as clubs. Man JJ looked tired after all that. Give me the AR and the unlimited ammo. _________________________________________________________________________ “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
