But not alcohol or anything else…I wonder what demographic he’s trying to target

    unsafe and stupid, like crank triggers and cmags and all sorts of silly rambo shit 2a idiots like to fetishize.

    fuck I think anyone trying to call a 5.56 rifle cut down into ‘pistol’ form should have their fucking heads examined, that is by far the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. “oh it’s the atf’s fault for having loopholes in their rules” yeah, because no one in their right minds would call a rifle w/o the buffer tube a fucking pistol.

    basically the entire gun fetish is dumb. you want to fuck with guns, explosives and hurt people? get fucking paid for the experience mate, the military is happy to train. but no, the ice lardasses can’t even do 15 pushups or run 1.5 miles in 16 minutes lol. but they want their guns un huhhhnn

    awww the rifle pistol crowd is cranky with their fetish being called out. boo fuckin hooo

      They have a buffer tube, otherwise they wouldn’t cycle, unless we are talking about something like the SIG MCX then the buffer system isn’t in the tube.

      They just don’t have the stock making it not intended to shoulder, the stock, not the buffer tube is what makes an SBR.

        yeah this isn’t universal. I’ve seen one setup that had no tube, assumed that was the silly ass attraction to the whole stupid fucking thing. had some kind of warty plug bit that was maybe 2" long where the buffer tube assembly would be, assumed it was a something along these lines:

        If the bulk of them have tubes what’s the fucking point then? so you can have your ‘arm brace’ mounted to something?

        it’s all so fucking stupid

          It’s to make the gun not a rifle. Rifles have to have stocks, that’s it, that’s the point. If you want a short gun that shoots an intermediate cartridge it’s an AR which is really common and the ammo is cheap, or an AK which skips the buffer tube but ammo is more expensive. Or something like a cut down mosin nagant since they used to be really cheap so why not.
