It’s going to be bulky, but most likely going to out shoot all the garbage we are used too. Reliable, accurate, and smooth shooting. But when there’s not much other options available, like in life, I don’t mind a chunky girl who can get down.

u/WestonRoads 13d ago

u/Eyeronick 13d ago

Can you do me a favor and shoot it a few times left handed? I'm curious if there's any gas issues for left handed shooters. I haven't seen this addressed anywhere.

I’ll certainly do that will post a clip on instagram

Apparently, some of the suppliers have gotten some stock

I’ve read there was a month delay on the suppliers end and now expected to arrive end of this month

It’s bulky, heavy, and uncomfortable. However as far as reliability and serviceability goes it’s something i would trust to serve well in a life or death situation.

I'd buy one if I wasn't concerned it'd be prohibited in a few months. Much as I'd love it, I've got better ways to spend that money.

Let's just wait until the Supreme Court case

And the subsequent reaction from the Liberals.

I have maybe some hope Carney is pragmatic enough to say "all right, we tried. Look over there, a distraction!".. but do we really think they're going to let AR15s be used again?

u/Dependent_Border7961 12d ago

Not under this government. But at least we might be able to stop them from banning future black guns.

u/i-Hermit 12d ago

They'd just do it through legislation instead of OIC. Might take longer, but there's nothing anyone can do about that approach.

u/conanap 12d ago

Tbh I’m not sure cares enough to deal with this. The buyback was a campaign promise, and a lot of times it really just feels like carney is done with this gun control shit and just wants to be fucking done.

WeI’ll see though.

Carmel reminds me of the x95 but in conventional layout. The weight is going to be difficult to overcome

It weighs less than my service rifle did, and how many of you are gonna hump it for km's ..c'mon now

u/Status_Ticket5044 13d ago

I'd prop it up on my purse.
