Nah the iwi looks like the fish gun from beretta (arx 160) and the mk15 is literally an amalgamation of a FAL and an AR both very pleasing on the eyes. While I'll admit its not the most appealing, its still miles ahead of the small hat fish gun.

They’re both ugly dawg. Mk15 would look decent with a replaced stock, grip and handguard. The iwi is ugly as hell but if I tell myself it’s a scar at home I can get over it.

Yeah I was disappointed to find out the MK15 can’t use regular AR-15 handguards. I would have swapped it out immediately if that was possible. I’m leaning towards the Carmel because it’s coming from IWI which has an excellent track record, and it has a CHF chrome lined barrel.

It’s ugly but IWI makes great products. I’m not buying either until the political climate cools down a bit.

So by your logic someone buys a gun to use for a short period of time, it gets banned and sits next to their other banned guns they spent thousands of dollars on, and somehow that’s a win? Make sense.

By your logic given the state of the government and their attitude toward us, we shouldnt buy anymore guns and should just willingly bend over. Because its quite clear now more then ever that they will not stop until firearm ownership is prohibited entirely. My logic is real simple. Buy it while you can.

When did I say don’t buy guns? I’ve bought multiple since the recent bans, just not ones that will be banned.

If you don’t already have banned guns sure buy either of these. If you already do it’s absolute waste of money.

Buddy, they wanna ban every gun, how is that so hard to grasp? I can't carry on this conversation, it's clearly going over your head.
