Comment on Two women, in their own driveway, had assault rifles pointed at them. ICE agents broke their car window with a rifle stock and dragged them out.

  No. You buttstrike someone if you have no bayonet. Striking someone with the barrel is dumb because youre at least gonna fuck up your zero and you might bend the barrel which could cause a rapid unscheduled disassembly of your rifle when you fire it.

    Military and police training literally say that if you need to melee with your gun you use a muzzle strike - it’s usually reserved for someone who’s actively trying to grab your gun by the barrel and you don’t actually feel like using lethal force. Using a muzzle strike against a fleshy target won’t do anything. Hitting someone with your stock might actually break the gun if the recoil spring goes through it.

      I remember my bayonet class from my time in the army. We were never taught any such thing. We were actively discouraged from hitting things with our muzzle.

      What is your experience with rifle combat? Because mine is practical application in iraq.

        I’m unrelated to this argument but I still feel obliged to call you a pathetic war criminal.

        Against women and children, I suppose?
