After watching what happened in Kenosha who else is thinking of going to a light basic rifle? Or do you think you could engage targets just as quickly with your eleven pound AR with all the doodads?

More importantly do you think 11 lbs is too much for you to handle OP?

For a rifle to defend against a mob, this.  There are other situations where other items may be wanted.

Funny, I never hear this kind of critique from hikers looking to drop weight from a pack.

I'm all for being in shape. But extra weight will increase fatigue and hinder maneuverability regardless of your fitness level.

Could you move a heavy rifle as quickly and and accurately as a 6 lb rifle?

Well I’m taking my fleshlight off of mine for one. Got no time for that in a mob fight.

AR pistol or SBR is the only way after watching that.

Most people probably need to learn how to effectively use their rifle.

I have the Trumpinator I put together back in 2016. It’s a 10.5 pistol that’s going to be my go to.

Everything has its place and I think it’s smart to gear your equipment to the mission.

Do you really have a need for a LPVO and a LAM knowingly going into a riot in an urban area where the need for long range shots and NODs are going to be essentially non-existent (and most likely less defensible)?  I’d even argue that wearing electronic ear-pro and foregoing the suppressor might not be a bad idea either (most crowd members tend to scatter when gunfire happens, might as well make it as audible and deafening as possible).

I have different rifle for different jobs.  I have light, slicked down ones for certain things and more well rounded ones for others.

Aimpoint pro, BCM stubby grip, that is all I have so far.  Do want to add a flashlight.

front load light, small laser, red dot, sling.

If you want a prism, LPVO or a mid range magnified optic have it zeroed and keep it stowed.

Also if in highly democrat areas I wouldn't wear anything political or gun related on shirts or other clothing. All that does is paint a target on you. Blend in.

All of my go to ARs have a light, sling, and red dot.

I’m carrying a 10.5” .300BO in the vehicle right now. With lancer 20s and a Holosun it’s a lightweight, affordable, effective package.

I am changing over from a 16" with a 1-6 LVPO and light on it, to a 12.5 with an EOTech or similar on it.

Honestly no. My go-to is an LMT MLOK Carbine with an Elcan 1-4, Modlite, DBAL, sling, and BUIS.

I want my gun to be as flexible as possible. I didn't see anything in that video that makes me think he'd have been killed if he had a LAM hanging off of his gun.

That said, I do have a Colt 6920 that's gonna get a SIG Romeo 4T, Modlite, and sling.

My SBR is tricked out and heavy.

I can rip a Bill Drill in 1.6-1.7 seconds consistently.

Heavy isn't the problem. Practice is. Get out there guys.

Mine have been K.I.S.S. for a while.

My HD gun is a plain old M4gery with a light and an “improvised minimalist sling”.  Detachable carry handle and no red dot.  I’m considering slapping an old Aimpoint M2 on it, but unlike Kyle’s rifle, BUIS is a necessity, and I’d use a cut down carry handle on this one.

My garage gun is a plain XM177 with the improvised sling.

Mission determines gear. I am not in an urban place and am much more likely to need to pop a coyote in my pasture than do the Kenosha Hat Trick. LPVO stays.....but 10.5" rules....

Speaking of light, I'm actually eyeballing my M1 Carbines again. I have two: a 1943 Underwood and a 1944 Rock Ola. Like 99% of M1 Carbines they are post-War rebuilds and I replaced the recoil springs with Wolffs. I have plenty of USGI and Korean 15 rounders along with some Korean 30s.

Both of them are reliable with not just ball but with Remington 110 grain JSP. I have a couple thousand rounds of ball and a few hundred JSPs.

The Underwood wears an Ultimak handguard with a Bushnell TRS-25 on it. I'm going to replace that with a Primary Arms micro RDS with a much longer battery life, and will also add a Rogers Rail Light.

Oh yeah, I also have a bayonet on the way along with 10 more Korean 15 round mags.

If I need something more discreet I have a CZ Scorpion Micro with a RDS and a light, that fits nicely in a laptop backpack along with several magazines loaded with 124 grain Gold Dots, basic cleaning kit, and an IFAK.

What that kid did, his situation, and his rifle has zero effect on what I choose in a rifle.

My experience out weighs his wild night in a riot.

Nothing wrong with a kiss setup but I want more out of a rifle in most cases.

So firing in a general direction while screaming like a little girl is not a tactic?
