Feets / Collection / My build Non-prohibited “Night fighting” gun setups?

I recently acquired a PVS14 and was curious what rifle setups people are running right now. I realize most decent rifles are prohibited but I was looking for some recommendations with the current market. Thanks!

Honestly a kitted out sbr tactical semi auto 22 is probably the best thing. Compact. Semi. More than 10 Rounds. Cheap.

Split the difference and get a homesteader. 9mm is significantly more powerful than .22lr but you have double the mag capacity of an SKS

I would rather carry 200 rounds of 22 on my person than 200 of 762x39….

Also, people severely overestimate their accuracy while moving or under stress. So it’s usually better to carry more. lol

I find that funny how many poeple underestimate .22lr. Most people talk about it as if it were a bb gun. I mean sure it is not anywhere near a .223 or 7.62 but it is still a very deadly round under 100yds.

Not saying the 22 is the better choice for self defence just saying a lot of people treat it almost like a toy. Most bb guns will barely break skin unless shot in really soft spots. Most .22 out of a rifle will make it to the vitals. The only thing lacking it the stopping power. Lethality is still there. A .22 hits almost the same as a single pellet of 00 Buck
