Shooting in Southern California

[onlinebiker]

Inexperienced morons end up spending the lions share of ammo on the ceiling -- even with simple rapid fire semi- auto.

-hence the value of an smg over a rifle.  You tilt those little hookers out and hold one hand -over- the foregaurd and just...ratatatatatatatatatatata-clink.  Then reload, unless you're under fire, at which point you return with your loaded pistol while seeking cover.  If mass shooters picked the right equipment for what they wanted to do, it could only get worse.  

The only point I can see to a rifle is shooting at folks across a field or in a parking lot from a distance, in single fire.  It's appalling that most of the "prep" these folks do is just to get a big pile of guns, rather than the right guns.  OTOH, we're dodging that bullet, at present..so that's nice.

True to a point - it depends on the SMG. ( note to the uninitiated - SMG means sub- machine gun. It is a carbine to rifle sized weapon chambered in pistol cartridges. It differs from machine guns in that MG uses rifle cartridges which are higher powered than pistol cartridges used in the SMG)

An UZI ot Thompson is fairly controllable - as the weight of the weapon keeps the felt recoil down. Not so with more concealable guns such as the Sten or Mac10 - which have substantial recoil due to their lighter weight.
