Can someone get surefire to make an M600 with a bayonet attachment? Shit'd be pretty cashIf the goal is to get good hits as fast as possible while keeping good ballistic performance I'd venture the answer is no. To address your questions:
1. Sure a lung shot when they are hands on isn't ideal.
2. No a hole isn't a hole. If that was the case FMJ from a .380 pistol would be the same as a 300 winmag. Expansion and using the energy of the round to push a fully expanded projectile to proper penetration matter.
3. One and two aren't true.
Also, have you compared your splits on a timer between accurate fire with a 5.56/300blk carbine and accurate fire with a 9mm or .45acp carbine at close range? I bet they won't be that different. Now stretch that to distance and I bet the rifle calibers really shine. You keep more velocity and less mental math for bullet drop. So you are giving up a big advantage for little or no gain.
If you are using Reston's story as an example for picking a weapon you might as well argue that having a bayonet is a big plus. If Jared could have shoved 12" of steel into the bad guy's eye socket it might have ended sooner....
I wasnt necessarily using his story to chose a weapon, I was using the lessons from his story to pose a question.
I truly appreciate all the input guys. I hope that my ignorance can, at the very least, make for some interesting discussion.
