I’ve long been a big fan of “assault” style AR-15 weapons. I own a Bushmaster Varminter and I’d like to collect a few more weapons in this class. The Para Ordnance AR-15 is about as attractive as 5.56 NATO/.223 weapons get. The folding butt stock is something I haven’t yet played with.
Specs:
Caliber: 5.56 Nato

This weekend, I fired a variety of pistols and a rifle at a dummy that had a Holy Bible and then a Holy Quran as his sole means of protection from the projectiles. The results were, at least in my mind, illustrative. The end result of my experiment is that I am much less confident in using the 32 ACP pistols in my collection as primary defensive weapons - although they are the easiest to conceal I’m afraid they would be useless in many situations.
