We recently discussed the Primary Arms 5x Prismatic Optic and how its weight can be offputting.  Vortex recently released their 5x Prism optic, and Brownells reviews it, followed by the Vortex introduction of it.

It appears to be small, compact and light. I also like the plate for a miniaturized red dot on top of the optic.

Here’s the next installment of “where did they get the money to build that gun anyway?”

This time it’s over 2 miles, with a 8 – 9 second wait time for the bullet, and from the comments, “28 MOA at 3850, that’s what..1070 inches, just shy of 90 feet windage??? wow…”

The commenter is rounding for MOA.  I get closer to 94 feet for windage holdoff.

It looks like a hard hitter at a mile to me.

Notice the 90 degree grip angle and the very soft touch on the gun and trigger.

Of course I don’t know the future, but here’s a prediction. Feel free to remind me of this post if I turn out to be wrong (I hope I’m wrong).

Any future winner of machine gun contracts with SOCOM will be foreign, not U.S. manufacturing.

One thing the ban on machine guns fabricated after 1968 has done is stop development in open bolt weapon systems in the U.S.

With FN the manufacturer was at least connected to American intellectual abilities with John Moses Browning.  Now with the worship of Sig, H&K and others, I suspect the die is cast.

I didn’t know this was a “myth” to be busted.

Ammoland.

For the 2021 legislative session, Representative Bobby Cox (R-19) introduced House Bill 3094 to allow citizens who hold a concealed weapons permit to carry a handgun in the manner they choose. Currently, South Carolina is one of just five states that do not explicitly allow open carry, among them Illinois, New York, and California. Self-defense situations are difficult to predict and everyone has different circumstances. It is unreasonable for the law to impose a one-size-fits-all method of carrying a handgun for self-defense.

Yet another chance.  This has been on the agenda of some patriots for a long time in South Carolina, but alas, they have to fight three lobbies: (1) Columbia, S.C., (2) Greenville, S.C., and (3) Lower State (esp. Charleston, S.C.).

What will happen this time?  Here’s a prediction.  The cowards in South Carolina won’t even let it get to the floor for a vote.  If it does, the progressives have to self identify, and we couldn’t have that, could we?
