>>485863Just give it up, you're obviously someone who has never shot a gun before.
>Pistol/rifle ballistics aren't as different as you'd thinkThat was never my point, dumbass. Ballistics are about the same (longer barrels have slightly higher velocity, that's about it though), if it's the same bullet being fired. That's my point. A longer gun is easier to shoot with because it's well longer. You can hold it steadier, and you have more barrel length between the blades so it's more accurate. The principles of firing a handgun are identical to firing a rifle. If you can shoot a handgun good, you can shoot a rifle better.
By your logic (pic related) is a practical hunting device, better even because its "takes less room/weight" like that fucking matters for hunting, go back to COD jackass.
