@UltraRichterian | PST the CFAL would like to speak with you.

Get an AR-15 or similar carbine.

@ViolentLotus1 my suggestion to anyone looking for their first gun is to buy what you are most comfortable with. A firearm is useless if you aren’t comfortable shooting it

The FAL is slightly better as the rate of fire is higher

The CFAL is even better

Making it more possible to actualy put a round on target before your are 15 inches above the target,

&Actually*

Yeah a Handgun is comfortable and practical for what I want to use it for.

The full auto fal was incredibly hard to control, the semi auto version worked better in more situations

Legitimately, I would recommend a 12 guage shotgun, pump action, or one of those nice semi-autos. It will definitely be better for home defense unless you are absolutely proficient with your firearms and performing under stress.

A handgun is a nice second. Short, portable and easily concealable.

M14 was stupidly difficult to control on full auto, the FAL was no different

The FAL was still better

No, it made practically no difference

You got one bullet on target with the M-14, you got 3 with the FAL.

They were both incredibly uncontrollable

Then it was anyone's guess

I feel a rifle would be a little to big for such a smaller space. I would rather use a rifle for hunting but if I have a rifle or handgun close by, I would grab the closest one.

Grab a handgun you are comfortable operating

Mhm

Experience matters most

I can see that

Personally I shoot my revolvers best. So that’s what’s on my nightstand

Also in standard engagement ranges, the accuracy differences were minimal

*Laughs in full length rifle.*

I have a 10.5 inch AR pistol, which is great for smaller spaces, but my go to would still be a handgun because I can keep it close by and I know that .45 hollow points are not going to go through both a person and a wall.

You know you broke into the wrong house when someone bayonet charges you with a WW1 rifle

Lol get stabbed with mosin bayonet

I am in the near future probably going to do some shooting range trips to try out some handguns and rifles I might like. Im looking for a comfortable and practical handgun/rifle to use if someone breaks into my home.

Ross Rifle with a bayonet affixed

Fack you

I’m confused what you mean by full length rifle

Stupid Canadian

The FAL was almost always shorter than the M14 barrel wise

Well there's carbines, then there's full length rifles

@Lyte I was referring to the home defense

Not the FAL and M-14

Ah

Do you actually use a full length rifle inside? Lol. How big is your house?!

Well thank you all for your advice, I’ll make sure to use it and find whats most comfortable

@Miater it's a small apartment
