Setting up AR15 for home defense

[cdi]

Silly Emptymag.
As every fudd knows you don't have to actually fire it for home defense, you just have rack it.

WHY have I NEVER heard ANYONE say "Don't use a 12 GA for home defense - you will go DEAF"?

WHY do I ALWAYS hear people say "Don't use an AR15 for home defense - you will go DEAF"?


According to this chart, the 12 GA shotgun has higher decibels than an AR15.

This chart shows them being essentially equal...

Shotguns usually don't have muzzle brakes/flash hiders that divert sound to the sides making them louder for the shooter.

That's possible.
Never really thought about it, so now I'm looking into it.

Sound readings are weird.... it varies by where you put the sensors how good the sensors are the room you do it in etc. Plus there's the pressure waves in the enclosed space that will clean the dust off everything in the room. Next time you go shooting shoot from under the pavilion vs outside of it.

Someone is working on an integrally suppressed shotgun. Can't remember what company.

That's how I feel about all suppressors.

Well, that and the begging the gov for permission part.
