23 May 2020 23:10

5.56 and 223 have different sized chamberings. The 223 chamber has a shorter distance before it engages rifling, and when you fire the higher pressured 5.56 through it, it can create dangerous pressure spikes. On the other hand, firing 223 out of a 5.56 chamber, which it's not designed for, means that the round has to travel further before engaging rifling, it causes diminished accuracy. The point of a 223 wylde chamber is that it's somewhere between these two chambers, being long enough not to cause pressure issues with 5.56, but short enough to still be accurate when shooting the cheaper 223 cartridges.

To be fair, that is significantly less stuff than my everyday carry, but I’m very on board with the plainclothes offensive pistol man

My view on the whole grey man versus tactical argument is both are valid things but only function in certain settings. If I knew i was walking into a potential fight I'd go tactical. If I'm just trying to get from A to B and not expecting a fight and not wanting to draw attention while doing it then its grey man

And in SHTF people look for soft targets and is you look like any old joe you will get attacked even if in a small group. Now take that same small group but deck them out in full kit and rifles they would have a lesser chance of being attacked by opportunistic criminals or raiders

mission drives gear after all. Most of the time, tactical stuff puts you in more danger, but if you know you're probably going to be shot at on sight anyway, then kitting up is a good plan

My experience is people are generally pussies and if you look scary enough they will avoid you

Noticed it when attending rallies in full kit. The counter protesters would be acting violent and attacking people unlit 5 or 6 guys in kit square off with them then the get all pacifist and non violent meanwhile 5 minutes before they were striking people and throwing shit

Eventually on any extreme you'll find people more willing to take their chances and fight
