Interesting data on 110 FMJ effectiveness

[DaveHH]

The AR has many advantages over the carbine. Not the least being that you can just point, shoot and it will hit out to 200 yds. No windage or elevation required. That and almost no recoil means easy to use. I use to have a built in bias for the AR probably because I qualified expert with the M14 and like wood and the sights. But if I was going into a gunfight today, I'd grab either a 1911 or the AR. I never liked the sights and having to stick your pumpkin up too far to use them, but it is a fine effective weapon. I'd call the carbine a handy, light weapon. If I'm hiking in the woods out in nowhere, the carbine with one 15 rd is my first choice.
