Why you should have high cap mags

[CaptKen]

1. A lot of time it's takes more than 1 bullet to take down a bad guy or more than 10. some Cases a bad guy gets multiple rounds hit him and he still is comming.
2. If your in a stressful defense scenario you will miss a few times a lot of officers fire a lot of round only one or two hit the bad guy.
3. You have multi attackers aka gang bangers and you have to defend against them. You have no time to reload.
How come no one has brought this up in the pro gun groups.
So fellow Cal Guns members what do you think and maybe add to the reasons to have high cap mags

It's been brought up for standard capacity mags. Discussions of this are all over. Why is there an exception for LEOs to have standard magazines? Because it is necessary for defense!

Keep in mind 10 rounds is a limited capacity magazine. Limited by some politico's statute of law, it is grasped out of their butts.

I don't think there is any magical number for capacity. Multiple 10rd mags are just as deadly. To me its just another nit pic topic. I've seen some crazy fast reloads from people who practice it religiously for competition and general purpose. Even with a bullet button ring. I compare that whole topic with "why do cars NEED to go over 25mph?" "Slower speed limits will decrease the High Speed traffic accidents"...its just retarded...to me.

Learning how to shoot and understanding the concept of "shot placement" will effectively double the capacity of ANY magazine.

The best part of all this is that you should never have to give a reason for why you need to have standard capacity magazines.

Because the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Depends on your weapon and range much more than your mag cap. If you are within 20-30 feet (as you most likely would be in a self defense scenario) A single shot of 00 buck or 5.56 from an AR will put anyone on their *** if not kill them with a single shot. Keep a serious gun in your house

Try taking down a criminal high on PCP with one round. That's why you need as many rounds you can carry.

ummm, it wouldnt matter what he was on. A single shot of 00 buck to the chest or head will destroy them within 30 feet. A shot from an AR in the same spots would pretty much end it too. A 9mm or even a .45, maybe not. Like I said, keep a serious gun in your house.

You're spot on. There are a couple of guys running six-shot revolvers that consistently beat the pants off the guys running double-stack standard-cap mags at the local competitions. They are running those little speed clips, but because every shot counts when their capacity is so limited, they simply hit what they aim at rather than bullet-hosing (i.e. missing really fast) like the rest of us.

If we all went back to cowboy days with single action revolvers, we might get MORE deadly as a group, if the cowboy legends are to be believed.

(Plus, back in the day, people got around capacity limits by simply carrying multiple guns on their persons. Dumb anti-gunners.)

Because the trigger pullers we would be returning fire at would most likely have 30 round mags...

Suppression fire...

Mag couplers don't work with ten rounders...

A single shot of 5.56 won't do much unless you hit that person directly in the T-box, which is unlikely for most people. I stick with failure drills to stop people. 2 to the chest, 1 to the pelvic girdle. But if you feel comfy with a single shot 556 weapon, then good luck stopping that naked dude on bath salts that is trying to eat your face off.

Ha.

So much fail in this.

You obviously don't have much first hand experience with this. I don't mind opinions, but that post is inexperienced speculation.

Wrong, do you understand the laws of physics? At that close range (within 30 feet) a 5.56 bullet will be traveling well over 3k fps and will sure as hell take an average sized male off his feet if struck in the chest. A hit near any vital organs with, say a 75 grain FMJ round and they are done. A single shot to the head and you will be cleaning their brain off your walls. As I said, depends on your weapon and range but a single shot from an AR or a shotgun loaded with 00 buck to the head or chest within 20-30 feet is devastating. You don't need 30 rounds, 10 rounds, or even 5 to end a threat with the right weapon and a good shot.
