Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. A company in NY -- a corporation -- can use a submachinegun to guard their payroll -- rather than just rely on insurance? Maybe *my* corporation needs an MP5 to guard my payroll. How did they justify that? Do corporations use submachineguns for defense of their property today?

I think you would drop your teefers (teeth) if you knew how many MP5's and Mac's and Uzi's are under those well fitting suits that stand guard at many big business. Really.

I was in a telephone company headquarters one and on the top floor executive level. I saw what looked like a track in the floor to accept giant blast doors to drop down. I was not able to verify if this was a working system or not.

 

So you are saying that a large company, like Kraft or GM, has a greater than 10% chance of having an MP5 or M16 on the property?

It appears that bombs are they direction they are going -- and it does not seem like subguns are a good defense against bombs.

 

I myself have not fully figured out if my home defense solution is a Benelli with a Surefire and Eotech and 000 buck (a single shot is like firing an 8 shot burst from a Mac11/.380 yet looks better in court) or a .357 Magnum 16" Winchester 1894 or an AR-15 with M4 upper.

 

I think the levergun would look good in court, but I don't have a light on mine. I could gaffer tape a light to it and then just remove it after. I could put an Eotech on it with a quickrelease. The shotgun holds as many shots but has more power and is semi-auto, and has a light -- and looks nearly as good in court. The AR-15 has much less recoil and holds more shots, but looks worse in court. And the MP5/40 might look unfair to some, even if they are in my house at 2am.

 

Which brings up the whole point -- a shotgun does not put you at a disadvantage, and is much more acceptable in the US than a subgun (though I hear the opposite is true in Europe where they consider the shotgun too brutal for police). So my guess is a corporation has private security with an AR-15 and shotgun in the trunk of their car. If they have a subgun, they did not really point it out to the corp and they are subcontracted with a contract that removes liability from the corp. If they have a specific threat they might bring a gun inside the building. Otherwise, they just drive around with it in the trunk.

The best home defence weapon would have to be a claymore mine or two at each door and window.

 

I could see it now, the poor burgulars eyes reading "This Side Toward Enemy" as he looks up http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif to see your smiling face http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif holding the detonator. BOOM.

 

I know thats illegal, but a nice sign in the front yard that reads: THIS HOME IS PROTECTED BY CLAYMORE MINES. BREAK ANY WINDOW OR DOOR TO SEE WHAT 700 BALL BEARINGS IN YOUR FACE FEELS LIKE.

 

I got carried away on that one...

I would think the ideal 12 gauge barrel length would be 14 inches. But since that is NFA, it would be best to stick to 18 inches. But why 20 inches?

 

As for #4, I think #1 is the smallest to use as it is the smallest that will go in 12 inches into 10% ballistic gelatin. And it has 1.5 square inches of wound surface area -- more than 00 or 000. On the other hand, I am actually leaning toward 000. It is equal to an 8 shot burst from a Mac11/.380 with every shot.

I finally got the Thompsons and shot them today. Did a few mags in each one. I have not tried the drum yet for Goldfinger as I was short on ammo. The 1928 overstamp was sweet! A nice pace to the shots. NAC5 worked flawlessly and it will be my 'shooter.'
