im not a gun person, but the .300blk seems to be superior in almost every way. I dont view that one as a niche round. Its not stupid hard to produce, it doesnt require major retooling of everything. The only thing against it is the massive massive stockpile of 5.56 in the world.

In a post apocalyptic world, your handgun is what you use to get to your rifle that you never should have dropped in the first place.

One of my biggest pet peeves in life is cheap-ass people. The ones who pinch pennies EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. DAY. They can't do anything or make any decisions without laying soul-crushing math on it from every possible angle. Couponers are the goddamn worst. My kid's mom keeps a tabbed notebook of coupons. A NOTEBOOK. FOR TOOTHPASTE AND BREAD. Fuck you.
It took my girlfriend's parents 4 years to buy a new car. From the time they decided to, to the time they pulled the trigger. WHAT'S THE GODDAMN PROBLEM? IT ISN'T A SPACESHIP. YOU DON'T NEED TO SURVIVE RADIATION BURSTS ON THE WAY TO MARS. IT'S AN ENGINE, WITH A FRAME, AND SOME TIRES. BUY THE GODDAMN THING.
That only applies in
Apocalypse. And not even fast apocalypse. Human apocalypse (mad max, book of eli, the road, etc) you're going to miss all the time. Speaking of which, I had a dream about the apocalypse the other day. For some reason i was down in florida driving on a big open road towards Tampa, and all of the sudden the ground shakes, and I see this mushroom cloud bloom over the city. Realizing what it was, I pull a u turn and speed north as fast as possible until the highway jams up, and then find a secure building to try to shield myself from the radiation. A couple of days later, after listening to a crank radio with the people in the building I found, we find out that it wasnt a nuke, it was just made to look like one. But when we open to the door to go back outside since theres no radiation, the world is different. Its all dusty and dry, normal people are all squirrely and violent now and have formed these small packs. In short everyone is really really threatening. I woke up then, but even though it wasnt a nuke, the world went all apocalypsy anyway
It's not going anywhere. When the 6.8 (and multiple variations of the 6.5, both of which fit existing mags/receivers) came out everyone said that the world was going to change as a result and everyone would be shooting it. The fact of the matter is that unless the military adopts it as their go-to round (which they won't) there won't be surplus made and it will continue to be prohibitively expensive, thus making it a niche round. It's slightly more popular than its predecessors right now because it's designed for suppressors, thus making it uber-mega-hyper-ultra-combo tactical.

YOU WERE COMING TO SEE ME
Well duh, it's a .308. The 7.62x51 tests were a bit more telling though. A straight AK has more power than a modifed AR shooting stubby.308s. The only advantage with the 300s is that you can use the same mags. It's a quick barrel modification from the AR platform, which gives you more power without rearming your entire military.

Won't even take a nuke. Cripple the food distribution network for 1 week and watch the world die in fire as a result.
Mr. Argumentor
I fab shitboxes and shitbox accessories.
Sure it did. Sarcasmo mentioned scavenging ammo in a PA world, I pointed out that. 22lr is the most common, and we went from there.
Cheap people are idiots. I'm 80 and I saved $20,000 more dollars than you by wasting 14 years of my life sifting through coupons! Yeah? You're still dying of cancer, asshole. You should've spent that $20k on a first class trip to Europe instead. That way you would've at least had some worthwhile memories in your head while you're lying in your own piss.
Yeah. No.
Being cheap in general allows you to enjoy luxuries people who dont save dont have.
Own a house on a single income in your 20s?
Actually retire at 55?
Pay for all your cars in cash?
No debt?
Being cheap is worth. You save on the little things (no five fucking dollar cup of starbucks every morning) and you see your bank account grow and grow so you can afford the big life-enhancing things without even worry about the money
Owning a house and a car aren't luxuries. They are very easy to acquire with even minimal budgeting and peole do so every single day. Not having debt isn't a luxury either. That means you pay your bills. Vacationing overseas every year is a luxury. Having a second home is a luxury. And in my experience people who are cheap are terminally cheap. They hate to spring for things because they have Saving Syndrome. They're cheap now, and they will be cheap when they're old.
Would you rather explore the world in your 30s and 40s, or your 50s and 60s? Who knows what your health will be like towards the end? Have some fun while you're young. Mortgage your future just to piss fly off.

Honestly I don't give a shit either way. I just wanted to rant for a second about coupons. I hate coupons.
