so is a 5 yard shot worth tying up both hands and arms and limited partial movement
Yes. As long as you know the proper fundamentals

so is a 5 yard shot worth tying up both hands and arms and limited partial movement when a handgun might be a better choice and not create as large of exposed weak points on your person or limit your agility? Just askin?
Perhaps a Bazooka at 2 feet might help. I think there is a simulator for that for you yunguns.Yes. As long as you know the proper fundamentals

I don't guess I understand the reasoning behind your constant bickering over people using a more powerful weapon to stop an attack. I am no operator, trainer or even a good shooter in my mind but I can not see people in the know saying something like use a handgun instead. Proof has been played out, again and again. Perfect shots aside.... if you hit a bad guy in the chest with a rifle round you are doing much more damage than with a pistol round.
What we are talking about here is the choice to use a long gun in a real close quarter or H2H environment. You see, IMHO the lethal end of the rifle being two feet away from your vital area (think knife) leaves you exposed to a greater deal in H2H and other Defensive close quarters. The key word here is defensive. If you cannot avoid the fight then the opponent is usually in your lap. Not like on tv. If I am taking a hill or defending the fort on my perimeter then a rifle is my go to. We cover this in my training modules several times. I have many platforms that I use for defense but when it is up close and personal it will more than likely be a handgun that stops the fight. Two arms and hands, rifle stance and vulnerability in a tight hallway just don't work for me.
Tell that too every swat or specialized team that uses rifles in their CQB work. Many times within feet on assailants. Im sure they are lining up for your training modules.
The rifle has many many advantages over a handgun for almost every circumstance, and if given time to retrieve, most would choose a rifle for work over a handgun.
Of course you can and will make your own determinations but this doesn't appear to be someone that has knowledge of anything other than making noise and this is typical of the targets I see. Obviously a left handed shooter and contrary to what you might be thinking it wasn't shot with birdshot.
People can make all the noise they want. Their money, Their Ammo.
Truth. But what we are pointing out here is it serves no real purpose. Other than making noise.
You/me/most members shoot to improve our skill sets as you so often point out. The positives and negatives etc.
There are times that a mag dump just seems to be needed and yes I will put 30 out as fast as I can. But hardly ever 1st up and usually close a session this way just because.
Also this target verifies what I always say/see.....people are tight asses. Mainly.
JMHO.
One target, 2 or 3 hundred rounds, impossible to see where or if you are hitting the target. What makes you say they are tight asses CM? They're not stingy with ammo just targets.
Yes people can make all the noise they want, it's a free country. They can also walk out in front of a bus but walking in front of a bus or shooting just to make noise is not what most would consider productive use of time or money. My point is that for many people this practice just demonstrates how inept and ignorant they are about firearms and unfortunately it reflects on all of us.
