Title: Hey Michael, what kind of ammo did you use in those AR's in todays show?
Post by: dgray64 on July 30, 2008, 10:29:52 PM
I liked today's show.  It was informative the first time and I always pick up something new.  The only thing that seems to be left out is what type of ammo is used for clearing that house?  I know you are supposed to stay in one place and wait for the police, but there are situations where that doesn't work.  In that event, if I went to work in my house with an AR, I'm sure that I would take out some neighbors as well!!  What do they recommend....frangable?  Thanks.

Saw the show yesterday.  Great show.  What a difference between what was being taught in mid-70's to today.  Whole lot better.  Keep it up USSA.

Ammo supplier was in the trailer but went by too fast.

Saw the show for the 3rd or 4th time last night.  One of my favorite episodes.  One thing that I did notice is the difference in Michael's and Eric's ability to control muzzle jump on the two and three shot hammer drills.  Eric's AR hardly moved at all while MB's jumped a bit (although MB, your's likely jumped a lot less than mine).  Just an interesting observation of the difference between someone whose primary focus is on the carbine vs. someone who shoots a lot of different firearms a lot of the time.

Since I became the DOCK DOG CELEBRITY CHAMPION, I must say my life has changed for the better. Alf the Wonder Beagle gazes at me adoringly, for instance, and I am thinking of joining the American Kennel Club.

Erik is a superb instructor and, yes, he runs the carbine as well as anybody I've ever seen. I would STRONGLY recommend his rifle classes at USSA...I plan to take one myself (not for filming but for instruction). I'm trying to teach myself how to run an AR left-handed, since my right eye is thoughtlessly failing, and I'd like to use one of Erik's courses to drive in the techniques.

We were using el-cheapo (such as el-cheapo is these days) Wolf, which makes the groups my Stag Arms out-of-the-box guns turned in even more impressive.

We're filming more carbine stuff for the next season of SG, and we plan to bludgeon Erik into some DRTV training tips pretty soon!

I'm REALLY impressed, EVERY ONE I know who has tried Wolf in an AR has had problems, my self included, ( had a 16 inch DPMS a while back) FT everything at one time or another. I plan on trying a box in my AK to see if it's just a Russian thing or is Wolf just crap.

Thanks for the reply.  By the way, Wolf works great in my SKS.  Accurate and no misfires.  Sorry about your eye problems.  Science can work wonders now, maybe they can fix it!
