In reply to the discussion: Gunman William Spengler Used Bushmaster, Left Chilling Note [View all]sulphurdunn
(6,891 posts)there were combat soldiers who would have lived had they cleaned their weapons before a fight, but I have no supporting evidence. The optics you cite are more like point and shoot systems than conventional iron sights because they don't require lining up two points for a sight picture, do not require a stable rest as with a telescopic sight and can be used effectively while moving. I would have liked to have had one once. My point remains the same: Close quarter combat requires firepower, not well aimed fire. The original argument was that the Winchester 94 could have done as much damage. My rebuttal was that while it could have, it was unlikely it would have. That's way the Bushmaster is the weapon of choice for gun nuts rather than the model 94.
