So after years of being called retarded for wanting short AR's and being beat over the head with 5.56 is made for 20 inch guns
In an effort to learn I'm going to build and 11.5inch 6.8spc gun
>more power than a 556
>decently available bullet for reloading
>better terminal performance in a short barrel
is this how you get a better short AR? or am I still a retard
Also anyone doing any interesting builds?
>is this how you get a better short AR?
yes
>or am I still a retard
yes
godspeed
Guy I worked with exclusively used one as his hog gun, so must work good enough. Ammos just expensive and hard to find if you’re not ordering online and need it quick.
Just go with 6arc.
we all know you aren't going to do this. you cant even be bothered to use a good gun pic, just the same google images white-background stock image.
i don't know what could be a better gun pic thats the lwrc 6.8 uicw not many 6.8 short guns to pull pictures out of thin air sorry bud
Why not just use 300 blacked
Holy shit you're a fucking retard. Yes dumbass, go buy a rifle in a basically dead cartridge nobody uses because it's pointless.
I mean basically anything thats not nato is a dead cartridge pretty much i have other guns in regular calibers its not my only option i just want it
Clearly nothing I say will change your mind. 5.56 works just fine from an 11.5 and you need to stop consuming retard memes like the dumbass you are.
lotta people here disagree with that statement that being said i have an 11.5 ar in 5.56 just going to build an upgrade for fun and my 7.62supp should be coming in soon it will be a good host to
>lotta people here disagree with that statement
None of them have ever shot anyone with an SBR.
He clearly stated he wants something different that isn’t necessarily “practical”. Nothing wrong with that since he’s said he already has his other bases covered, stop being a minmax fag. Any round with a larger diameter than 5.56 will perform better out of shorter barrels because of greater powder burn.
With the proper loadings I should say.
>want something different
>buys an AR-15
lol
what would you go with in my shoes 300 yard and in short rifle not in 5.56 and not an ar pattern?
a PSA 10 inc ar pistol slamming 77gr
Scar17 SBR, AK104 build, babby FAL, get over your fear of sbr 5.56 and quit being a homosexual cuck retard and track down a SAN 553.
Basically literally anything but a going out of yhour way to buy a shitty AR in a failed cartridge only morons and banstate cucks buy.
>scar anything is quite expensive
>ak is a possibility just never been much of an ak guy
>i like FAL roller guns in general but 308 is quite the round
>SAN 553 thats pretty cool never seen one
And? What other readily available easily modifiable semi-auto platform can you get niche calibers in?
Nohing different about an AR
It's 6.8 SPC, its a good chambering as long as you don't try to push for long range since you can't load long enough projectiles to make it worth it over other options. Inside of a few hundred meters though its a solid performer and well liked for hunting. The LWRC Six8 is still probably the best AR-type rifle you can get for it. The wider receivers and mags make all the difference. No need to build anything, just buy the best.
If you are just going to shoot paper or steel though just stick with 5.56. Who cares if its not as effective for some fantasy rambo scenario, even if it ended up as a "home defense" gun then its still a rifle at bad breath distance which is miles better terminal performance than any handgun.
>5.56 is for 20 inch guns
And those people are retards.
Modern ammo alleviates this issue, we dont need to send 55 grain fmj at 2700 fps to get results anymore.
You're right, we need to push it to 3100fps
>You're right, we need to push it to 3100fps
That's doable with a 14.5" barrel.
Show me
black hills 40gr vmax
alternatively, proper pressure m193 will still be over 3000 FPS. .223 loads marketed as m193 will not.
Pretty neat. The muzzle blast would be a deal breaker for me, but I'd love to see what a 40gr vmax going 3100fps will do to a whitetail's chest cavity
its more of a 2 legged or class 1 animal style of load. those vmax tend to just detonate within a couple inches of entry which may or may not get you a clean kill on a larger animal.
I always wondered does this type of stuff hurt the barrel life steep necked cartridges and super speedy light bullets with high charges ?
>6 ARC
absolutely
>5.56
I mean M193 is literally the original 5.56. It's not going to wear the barrel any more than anything else would. But yes, AR-15 barrel lives are much shorter than say 7.62 AK barrel lives.
