Still loud?

Oh yeah, as loud as any other. But, if using a supressor, you don't have the extra sonic boom.

True but then you need a tax stamp

Also, sub-sonic doesn't pass through as easily

Yes, you need a tax stamp for the suppressor. Of course

I like the .45ACP for general purpose. It's big and heavy and slow, so if you hit something with it, that something knows it has been hit. Even works for bears.

Damn

I think I'd feel bad if I killed a bear

At least without the intention of eating it

a 9mm fmj can pass through an assailant, if you were being attacked, and that assailant will keep coming

Well, yes. We don't kill for sport. i live in a place, though, where bears occasionally get into neighborhoods.

Mine's coyotes mostly

Eastern PA and Jersey are known for bears

I would like to eat another moose though

Tasty

Now THERE you might need the .450

9 foot tall giants

@Old_Greg 300 BLK subsonic rds with a suppressor is only as loud as the buffer spring and bcg and the brass ejecting from the chamber. Basically.. ie you wouldn't need to wear ear protection, and they fly slower so they dont pass through walls in CQC as easily limiting collateral damage to non militants potentially on the other side..

I always forget the .300 AAC

Yep, many, many uppers and barrels for this cartridge.

Lol oh yeah

Does it use the same bolt? I think it does.

You just need to change the barrel

I think it needs a different buffer assembly, I might be wrong.

Bigger spring maybe. Those things are all modular, swap parts

I have a DPMS Panther in 5.56

nice

Was looking it up on google, supposed to be able to just swap the barrel for 300 blackout from 5.56, if you use an adjustable gas block you might need a heavier buffer for cycling purposes, but shoot it first and adjust the gas block to see if it will cycle with no issues first

Anyone have any idea of how much those are worth normally or what kind they are?

I'm wondering if that's a steal

Armslist is awesome

Yeah lots of cool stuff <:TrumpSmile:720121948088041513>

5.56 is a good all-around caliber. I've anchored deer with it, no problem.

.300 Blackout works same buffer and all. Just run two separate uppers (and be REALLY careful not to mix ammo - strongly suggest different magazines for the two calibers). Really like my .300 BLK.

@Sage would that be better than a .308 in a Red Dawn scenario where you live in the forest and hunt but also fight off commies?

or even 30-06?

I've never shot bigger than a 5.56 and I don't have knowledge of anything bigger really lol so I really don't know.

300blk supposedly has similar ballistics to 7.62x39

Also you can run it subsonic and still do crazy damage

.300 BLK falls pretty well short of 7.62x39. It's like .30 Carbine on steroids... 110 grain bullets at around 2200 ft/sec.
