Such a ridiculous and overblown myth.Handgun with a light. Long gun would be too awkward in hallways and tight spots.
It may not be "hard at all", but for reasons discussed here on many occasions in the past, it is usually an extremely imprudent thing to do, and it should be undertaken only in cases of dire necessity.It’s actually not hard at all to open doors, flip on light switches, and just generally maneuver around your house while armed with a lightweight fighting rifle such as the AR15.
I thought this was a discussion about weapon selection,...not 'house clearing' vs 'holing up'.It may not be "hard at all", but for reasons discussed here on many occasions in the past, it is usually an extremely imprudent thing to do, and it should be undertaken only in cases of dire necessity.
A number people have introduced that latter as an element of the former.I thought this was a discussion about weapon selection,...not 'house clearing' vs 'holing up'.
In either case, my premise still stands. There is virtually no real difference in maneuverability between a carbine and a pistol. If it were the case, professional entry teams would chose to use pistols instead of long guns, which they don't. The photo from my previous post illustrates the overblown 'pistol vs long gun for CQB' myth quite clearly.A number people have introduced that latter as an element of the former.
