That is not a weapon that has any place in a civilised society. The Only possible use for such a thing is to murder small children and fluffy bunnies and that sort of gruesome violence must be stopped at all costs. You can not justify owning that weapon unless you intend to squishify cuddle little newborn otters. That is what that weapon was made for and they must all be taken off our streets!

For people who actually shoot stuff for a living, do you reindex mags or use something like a dump pouch?

I've heard people say reindexing is bad, so I was curious

Some places it’s a big no-no to leave mags behind, and I would never leave one in an overwatch position or hide. But FISH’n I drop them a lot

I was considering something like the trex arms dump pouch to throw mags into so I wouldn't have to drop them. I don't really have an endless supply after all

I’ve got some roll up SSE bags, I don’t remember from who. Pockets are a real thing too

Some of my rifles I just run irons on them and some i have optics and backup irons just incase my optic get damaged. My Vz58 is just plain irons and i have spent so much time with that rifle that even out to 400 500 yards i can put rounds on target

It took me a while to get used to optics because I spent my entire childhood on irons, but once I finally did, I was much faster with optics

I agree a good optic sight beats irons but if you are capable enough with irons that's not a problem in a way and it's one less thing to worry about

Okay except, there are things you can do with dots and lpvo’s that you can not do with irons. Fact. Optics give you capabilities that irons do not.

I need more practice time with lpvo's. I love red dots because I don't have to worry about my head being in the right spot to avoid scope shadow. Thankfully my accupoint has an extremely generous eye relief
