    Agreed, but if you can stack the odds in your favor, why not right?

    The odds increase in your favor out of proficiency, not technology.

    I've got those. I really don't "need" an SBR. I like the idea of having an SBR AK with a side folder because it gets nice and compact and can go in a discrete backpack or store in places an AR wouldn't be able to. That said, I know I could build a shorty AR with a folding stock that could store just as easily. That's what brought me to my original question....The terminal ballistics of an SBR AR vs an SBR AK.

    Talk to Mike Day about terminal ballistics. He can tell you all about how it means dick when it comes to surviving gunshot wounds. Especially at close range.

    Don't know who he is? GTS.

    If caliber is that important to you, then the question should really be about where to find a big enough "discreet" backpack.



    ETA: ...but, you know, with a t-1 and an offset light. Duh.
