Snowy Carbine Day

Nothing warms you up like a hot barrel and 40lbs of unnecessary gear and armor.  My wallet said I needed to use the M&P15-22 today though.

 

That is the awesome benefit of having a sub-caliber training analogue of your primary weapon systems.  I didn't have a whole lot of .223 laying around, and I can't afford to go out and get a couple hundred rounds to burn off.  Thankfully I have a few bricks of .22lr handy, and the little Smith & Wesson rifle is set up darn close to my go-to full-size rifle.  Still got valuable training, and didn't have to spend a lot of money.

Cro, on the other hand, has stockpiled it for years, and he's breaking in a new BCM rifle.


My feet are still cold.

The beard is tactical. It's 62 degrees here with no snow (ever) and I'm going for a bike ride...

Tease...

Yeh but I can't ride-and-shoot like you guys...

The weather helps with that. Less people get offended by run-and-gun shenanigans when it's cold and nobody's there.
