Well since we don't walk around carrying a rifle, I guess a PCR will have to do in a pinch. The shooter in the movie theater was wearing body armor. The recent Chinese guy arrested with an auto rifle, looking to buy 5,000 rounds of ammo and was looking to buy body armor off the net. What do you think he was up to?
Lets see, head shot on a moving target at a distance that is shooting back. Yeah that sounds doable...
Now being realistic, a body shot is your best chance. I don't expect to ever have to make that shot (but I could. I have a red dot on my PCR too), but I also never expected a guy to try and break into my home one night while my family was sleeping. Never expected a guy to break into my truck in my driveway, while he was carrying a gun he just stole from someone else truck. But things happen.
So as I live in Houston where a lot of things go down, I like to be prepared carring a extra back up mag of +P+ ammo. As far a training, I dry fire with a laser cartridge every day, live fire 150 rounds every week on an outdoor range. Not just shooting paper targets straight ahead which is a waste of time. And as a vet from Vietnam, I've had guys shoot back, Not a lot of fun...
So bottom line, just looking for feedback from someone that has shot a +P+ round in a PCR. Looking for exact experience in that gun only please.
