Any rifle in the FBI'S hands would have been better than the short barrel 357 loaded with 38 spl Ammo. In their situation i would have taken the AR over any bolt gun available even tho the Ruger New Scout 308 with open sights may have worked.. Even the 30 MI Carbine would have been a better option than any pistol against a Mini-14 . I truely believe the FBI would have still been the losers regardless of the weapons they should have been armed with because they didn't have the mind set the bad guys had and this made the difference.
