  1. a downed pilot doesn't need a rifle. he'll get himself a few mags deep into trouble thinking he's now suddenly in the army and get shot.

    better off with taurus judge or something similar that doubles as a flare launcher and can stop a bear with a .45.

  2. They didn't create anything. Took parts on the civilian marketplace and screwed them on. Reason most civilians don't have one with a short barrel is the tax stamp requirement. The QRB has been around for years.

    1. When I first saw it, I though it could pass for an AR pistol with the exception of the stock. I think this would be a a great E&E weapon compared to some of the more anemic ones of the past.

  3. 'Bout damn time! Every time I ejected I felt naked!! The little popguns they give us are totally inadequate!

    ;P

    These would fit nicely under a car seat, wouldn't they?

  5. A real pilot would grab the 20mm off the plane and take that with him

  6. Very different from the GAU-5A issued to me in the early eighties. Mine was essentially the XM-177 E2. Short and LOUD!

  7. Which will make it the most pilfered item in the Air Force.

    We used to have a hell of a time with the First Aid Kits in our airplanes, because of the rumors of them having morphine. (They didn't, and the PR's kept having to repack them if a broken seal was discovered.)
