How about we discuss this business on an Applebees run?
You're buying!
>>29776308
>>29776336
aw, sick, I love applebees
>>29776382
if the debate is that a rifle is better than a pistol, then sure.
If the rifle is in 9mm :^)
>>29776308
7.62x25>9mm

9mm is good for combat, plinking, and imaginary gunfights with bad guys (why the fuck don't you have your rifle)
.380 and .45 are better for actual civilian defense situations.

>good for combat AND imaginary gunfights
It can only be one. The latter in a satirical sense to take the piss or the former in the way that it's good for combat because it's a bullet and any bullet above .25 is good for combat. Gunfight = combat, famiglia.
Also, civilian defense situation ≠ combat?

In "combat" you carry OWB with hopefully 15-17 rounds in a full size sidearm and the only thing behind the bad guy is more bad guys or nothing you give a fuck about. The greater range and penetration of 9mm are good things.
In a "civilian defense situation" out and about, .380 is ideal because of the size of the pistol it implies: something so easy and comfortable to carry that you'll actually have it on you when you need it. Additionally, the limited range/accuracy of the pistol is not an issue because proving self defense beyond, say, 25 yards is going to be a bit difficult.
In a "civilian defense situation" in the home, .45 is great because you don't need accuracy to long distances, size isn't really an issue, and you really don't want to over-penetrate.
tl;dr: the advantages of 9mm don't fucking matter if all you need to kill is a mugger/burglar. No body armor, close range. If you need more than 6 rounds to end the confrontation, you're bad, if you think you need more penetration than .380, you're retarded.

>but muh firefites
>how else could I kill an assault of 8 nignogs
>>29776955
to be fair, what would you do if you were assaulted by 8+ nignogs
>>29776308
The best round is always the round you shoot the best with.
What's so hard to understand about that?
>>29777146
what if I shoot really well with .50ae
>>29776484
>can't afford 9mm

Reminds me of an article Kyle Lamb had in a G&A issue.
>be retired Sgt Maj Kyle Lamb

>PFC fuckface asks me what I CC
>everybody in the shop looks at me intently becase of my actual operator backround
>mention I have a Bersa .380 on me
>entire shop gets a good laugh out of this
>look at PFC fuckface and ask what he carries
>says it's a 1911 but it's in his POV
>ask him what's the point if he can't carry it on him at all times
>PFC spills spaghetti
>rest of the shop just nods and act like I was right all along

Probably shoot the one who starts shit first. They always seem to be the main ones that keep the group from scattering in most situations.

I said end the confrontation, not kill everyone in sight.
