ya know after reading these i thought way back when " what else can they come up with" regarding guns. and here we have .500 goofy rounds for pistoles, scandium frames, god forbid plastic guns,.50 cal semi sniper rifles and on and on with techno stuff.

i really think the mfg. on the cutting edge of high techno is HK. as mentioned they designed and perfected caseless ammo mit der G-11, and a boat load of other new fangled techno stuff.

hell technology has made me drop bucks into my "club" 870 pump with the advent of specops recoil reducing rear stocks. hell ive wanted to sell that damn thing for years cuz it was a PITA to shoot each and everytime, especially after buying a HK M1-SUPER 90 and then a BENELLI M-2 both in 12 gauge. and along comes high tech and overnight theirs a resurgence in 870's to the point that even remington factory is selling both models of tactical 870's with the folder and fixed specops stock NIB!

so every year a problem or hurdle seems to be addressed in some positive manner.

after talking sunday with fellow shooters at the range, it really doesnt matter if ya have the new fangled sturmgewehr wazoo tank busting mongo mega caliber sidearm/rifle/shotgun or some pissant .22/.25/.32/.380 mousegun, when the SHTF. what matters is how accurate you are and how you control a large caliber or the small caliber. somewhere i read or heard that the lowly pissant .22 takes the honors for killing the MOST people every year by accident or being intentional! why? because people do not respect the round nor know its ballistic capabilities.

hell i'd rather have ANY GUN of ANY SIZE, in any situation known, than not have one!
