PDW trunk gun quest - jwilson1985 - 09-22-2011 ya the gat stock which erik the ceo and owner came up with is really awesome that stock will fully extend out and collapse against the reciver if u have a rifle with a 16" barrel it would be the same length as a 10.5" sbr with the stock collapsed it comes with a different buffer and tube but still uses the stock bcg PDW trunk gun quest - jwilson1985 - 09-22-2011 i will see if i cant get some for ya ...if you look in the background of the pic i posted up with the shot receiver u can see it behind it PDW trunk gun quest - LRRPF52 - 09-22-2011 I have some vehicle Immediate Action Drills for shooting 360 degrees from within the car, whether you are the driver, passenger, or rear passengers. You are most vulnerable from the rear blind spots, so I have worked out some shooting positions and drills going from a normal seated posture, to being able to engage targets from any aspect from within the car. I would love to do some drills with that system...it's perfect for the car. I would probably run it with heavier projectiles for good reliability with the short dwell time, unless using a can. A reflex can from under a mid-length tube will look like an MP5SDA3 with that stock. Daddy likes it...Put a Micro RDS on top, and we're GTG. PDW trunk gun quest - jwilson1985 - 09-22-2011 thats what its for :-) and yes mp5ish lol though my sack hasent dropped enough to put it on the beowulf lol PDW trunk gun quest - LRRPF52 - 09-22-2011 That would be so fun to hand to an unsuspecting shooter at the range with one round of Beo only...Some guys enjoy handing a 5.56 mag to folks trying out their Beo's, and watching the look on their face as they hit the bolt catch and watch the entire cartridge fly out the muzzle downrange... he he he! Maybe put a recoil spring on the stock itself for the Beo... I volunteer to do the video. I'm a recoil-insensitive shooter...I thought .270 Winchester out of a Featherweight was a plinking cartridge as a kid. PDW trunk gun quest - jwilson1985 - 09-22-2011 ya i hear ya my first rifle was a 300 win mag PDW trunk gun quest - JASmith - 09-22-2011 Me too! Ever use a .378 for rabbit hunting? Hitting a running rabbit at 100 yards was an interesting experience. It is one of the reasons I can comfortably say that I do not need to routinely shoot the big ones! I could shoot that sucker from a bench, but the lightweight barrel made getting 3-inch groups at 100 yards a real challenge. I got a .222 Magnum about the time I went on active duty -- and may have shot the big one once or twice after that. At another time, I learned that most of our southwestern cuisine of the late '60's was mild compared to that of Northern Thailand. The experiences helped me learn that there is always someone who has a rougher time or is meaner and badder or both PDW trunk gun quest - jwilson1985 - 10-16-2011 here ya go... ![]() ![]()
PDW trunk gun quest - LRRPF52 - 10-17-2011 That is way cool. Wonder if one of those neoprene sleeves is in order for the extension tube.... PDW trunk gun quest - jwilson1985 - 10-17-2011 im sure you could ,its the same size about.. but i dont know if the stock would clear it when it fully collapsed. the stock will go all the way to that plate that holds the rods for it PDW trunk gun quest - jwilson1985 - 11-17-2011 http://youtu.be/kyHdKEV5AIk finally ready PDW trunk gun quest - txgunner00 - 11-17-2011 Do want!!!

PDW trunk gun quest - Texas Sheepdawg - 11-18-2011 Wow... Well said! X10! Variable Wrote:My replies are below. I'm not trying to antagonize or belittle you, heck I don't even entirely disagree with you. I just don't see anyone here having anything to worry about at the level we currently discuss things. PDW trunk gun quest - sgt_murf - 11-18-2011 But if I told what I use for a truck gun Variable would leave his mountaintop in WV and kick my door in... Joking guys I have thought of using for a Truck gun ---a 9mm Carbine to get home to the 5.56 and 30-06. But the best bet would be the 5.56mm in my simple opinion. in a STHF scenerio of total social political breakdown my caliber choice would be 5.56/.223, .22LR, .30-06 or .308 my 2d worth PDW trunk gun quest - JASmith - 11-18-2011 sgt_murph Those choices would suggest that someone expects to survive long enough to need resupply! I've not followed the shtf forums but I suspect the serious folk have thought through things like defensible space, teams large enough to allow rotation of duty and sleep time, food growing or gathering, etc. PDW trunk gun quest - stanc - 11-18-2011 Texas Sheepdawg Wrote:If these Wolf 120s MPT can do this to 7/16" steel, I would think a windshield wouldn't stand a chance.Yes, and no. If the windshield is perpendicular to the bullet's path, as it was with the steel plate you shot, the MPT should have no difficulty penetrating. The problems arise because the firing angle is usually at much less than 90 degrees. Combine that with the compound curvature on both windshield and bullet ogive, and there's a chance the projectile will be deflected from its original path when it hits the glass. If the angle is shallow enough, some bullets reportedly have even glanced off without penetrating. One aspect of designing "barrier blind" rounds is to create a projectile that will experience minimal deviation from its path after punching through the windshield. Question is, how does the MPT (or any other Grendel load) do in this regard? Anyone have a spare windshield lying around? ![]()

PDW trunk gun quest - OldCannon - 11-18-2011 I think Sheepdawg has the right mindset. My objectives for a trunk gun would be: 1) Reasonably available caliber, rifle OR pistol 2) Something that I can tolerate being stolen (assuming some toads take some pry bars to my car while I'm not present) or lost (car succumbs to a flash flood, hurricane, etc.) 3) Something that allows me to scare off bad guys at least 50 yds away 4) Something that can be easily reloaded and manipulated in a confined environment (guess that means I won't be packin my flintlock )Honestly, a Hi-Point rifle in 9mm or .40 would work just fine, or even an AK. I honestly think Variable nailed it though. Try not to over-think this stuff
