I understood what you were saying. I just don't get the "do you wanna stand in front of it" argument.
I've always said that because most keyword commands I've run across over the years just repeat what some other internet clown is saying.
Anyone with any sense understands the velocity/length aspect. We can't argue with #'s.
300blk is kool and all (owned a 6.5" V7) but the round just isn't common enough and cost to much to buy in bulk for myself.
IMO if WE as a whole ever have to depend on high a power rifle round for war; anything from 7" to 20" will suffice here in our urban environment. That's why I never understood the velocity ordeal. I could understand if we were engaging hostles in the mountains of Afghanistan, but we wouldn't be.
At the end of the day they all will do the job depending on the operator.
