    Default Perspectives On Capacity

    I recently purchased a G30sf but not after trolling around quite a bit and one thing I often came across was people saying " If I ever need more than 6+1 then something is seriously wrong" etc. As gun people, I think we need to be careful about saying such things. It's cannon fodder for libs to restrict capacity. I can see it now, "you guys all say it's about shot placement and that something is seriously wrong if you have to shoot more than x rounds." I'd posit that something is seriously wrong if we ever have to pump off even 1 round. That being said, I personally want to maintain the capacity and ability to send as much metal as possible at a bad guy. If I'm going to shoot at someone I feel certain enough about that decision to send 100 at them.

    Train like you will fight and shoot as much as you can afford.

    Yup. As much as reasonably possible. I've been contemplating leaving my G21 mag in the 30 for a few extra. At that rate, I'll have 7 extra rounds for cover fire compared to the 6+1 argument.

    The number one thing that saves lives in combat is superior, overwhelming fire power.

    Yeah, sometimes things go seriously wrong ... I'd argue if you need to draw you've crossed that line (doesn't mean one shouldn't be prepared for when things go seriously wrong).
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    No matter what you say, libtards won't get it because they do not function in reality. The truth is that any shot you fire should be to the best of your ability, and you should be adequately trained on how to make that shot, and trained how to use sound judgment before you ever carry a gun. Beyond that extra rounds are just preparation for when something goes wrong, or more than one bad situation is encountered. I am all for carrying as much as you can because you never know what you might face.

    The FBI trains their agents to shoot until the threat is eliminated- IE Keep firing until the perp goes down. How many is that? Hard to say, could be 3, could be 20...
    Good luck.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    I've heard of the amount of rounds a person had on them at the time of a defensive shooting being brought up in court to show the defendant's intent was "looking for a war." Why would one need so many rounds on them unless they were looking for trouble? But the fact is you need extra rounds and mags to deal with malfunctions more then actually having to deploy them. One mag with six rounds could easily turn into a gun that doesn't work and no way to fix it.
