No need for a full-auto.
I’ve got a sub-compact Off-Duty Brazilian Police Officer on me at all times.
This comment made my day! Thank you!
I heard there are no background checks for those yet but Biden is considering an EO this week so get them while you still can!!!
Can we still import those? LOL
@@DanteAZ72 Not sure. But wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a $200 NFA tax stamp!
I literally lol’d
I want vending machines with SAWs, suppressors, and Glocks.
Yasssssss
Amen! "...shall not be infringed." 🇺🇸🌲🇺🇸
Here's a thought. Full auto PDWs. IE. P90, MP5, MP7. I'd hesitate with the 5.7/4.6x30 for worry of over penetration, but the controllability is there. An MP5 full auto with critical defense would be devastating and very controllable. An MP5 with a silencer is as close as you can get to a magical wand of go away as I can think of. I was controlling my mp5 full auto in the head area of a target at 10 yards.
9mm will penetrate through common mediums better than the lighter and easy to fragment 5.7/4.6. You have your ballistics all backwards, the heavier 115-147 gr 9mm will hold momentum through different mediums better than a light 40gr 5.7
Put that lower on your personal rifle upper for a more fair comparison.
That would be a MUCH better video. But the range probably wouldn't allow it.
I was just taking with a Costco employee this weekend about how awesome it would be if they sold firearms and ammo!
Why not get full auto and keep in semi auto as the default. In the rare case when two car loads of bad guys show up, you may need to say a prayer switch to full auto.

Going full auto is fun! Finally got to shoot full auto a few years ago. I’m hooked!
Expensive addiction😣
I got to shoot a full auto mp5. That was different. It literally ate away nothing but the bullseye. Viciously accurate.
I did limit myself to 3 round bursts.
A suppressed MP5 in full auto is pretty high on the list of most fun you can have with your clothes on.
@@MCgrease08 I took my girlfriend to the range for her birthday. A marine recruiter with a full auto mp5 took the stall next to ours. Everyone was drooling. He complimented my 1911 45. I joked that I'll trade you. It's her birthday.
He said OK. Haha lol. We lucked out big time. Everyone was drooling. It was the ultimate.
My cousin who had four tours overseas was saying the same thing about full auto. They would use full auto for suppressive fire and when they got down to needing accuracy most of them would either run semi-auto or burst.
Yup...right on point. There are applications for that HAPPY SWITCH and "Point Shooting" is not one of them. Suppressive Fire, Covering Fire, etc is when we used auto. Most times...semi was how we rolled.
But it either has burst or has full auto on the M16/M4 it doesn't have both
@@redtra236You can burst any fully automatic firearm manually numbnuts.
I primarily handled contact in semi auto full was def for bad day ticks or cover and move but boy is full auto a fun day for shooting. I definitely agree for home defense semi auto is fine and good to go
Super fun for sure. :)
Love it! I think you should be able to deliver on Amazon Prime. Fully agree. You the man brother. God bless you and your family.
Nice thanks for the informative video!
Oh, John you could have a had better "apples to pairs" comparison if you run your upper on both.
Practice with your full auto and you can EASILY keep it all on target. I never can understand people saying that my untrained/unpracticed full auto sucks compared to my extremely trained/practiced semi auto shots. No shit.
Good grief. I have 100 hours in carbine training.
@@ASPextra tbh I have no idea how to judge that metric. 100 hours. Does that mean 10,000 rounds? Does it mean 100 hours of weapon manipulation? Idk. I'm not questioning your ability to manipulate a carbine. The statement was only about people who's training and practice is primarily/exclusively semi-auto, judging full auto, when they don't have that much experience with full auto. If you have a ton of full auto experience, then I apologise for saying you don't. I just recently acquired my first full auto a month ago, and I have beat the absolute crap out of it practicing. And I feel quite comfortable in my statement that with a bit of practice it's way better than everyone says.
Check out Garand Thumb on the topic. He is active duty and also trains with both, if you want a second opinion. I don't think I know anyone who would use full auto to clear rooms, but there might be some exceptions.
Thanks for your awesome videos and analyses @ASP
I get your point, but you could have emphasized semi auto is how you want to shoot in a home defense situation, not a semi auto gun. Beucase my full auto can ALSO do semi auto.
Raaaaad video. Thanks for enforcing the definition of assault rifle and general purpose of select fire. Super video!
I wish we could have burst fire weapons. A suppressed three round burst from a 9mm PCC would be great for home defense
1 to the face would make me very angry. haha
And those were short controlled bursts!!! You weren’t even really letting loose! I think Amazon does sell those right? Lol
Haha!
I couldn't agree more. It's even difficult to be accurate using the burst function on M-16s.
It depends on how and how much you have been trained on full auto. It is very useful but has a small window of efficiency . There is no reason you can not keep a full 30 round mag dump in the chest on FA at that distance with proper training.
With that said at home in an urban environment I would be on semi.
Garand Thumb has a great video on this also. He compares a bunch of drills and is almost always better with his gucci ar-15 vs his military m4
There's a reason no one in the military quals on the M4 on 3-round burst. The only time I've ever fired my M4 on burst is post-qual when we don't want to turn any ammo back in and it's time for some fun.
@@robertdole5391 Damn. I accidentally showed that I'm in the Guard.... While I'm an M9 guy, we still qual with M16A2s. I wish I was joking. When I was active duty a decade ago, our M4s only had burst.
Thanks, John! While my only full auto experience is with range rentals, your words and demos make an impact. I don't want to to fire any defensive shots that I can't account for, so I don't want defensive F/A.
1:06 🤣🤣🤣 Libertarian dream right there.
"That little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy."
I hope you boys like mexico!
Shot full auto at my days at the PD...the best setup, IMO, was the three round burst setting.
Full auto is for those military scenes in the movies were Tom Hanks yells, “cover fire!”
Full auto is for the military
@@officerminiwheats Yes, that is what I said. However, our swat team also had it, but it seemed pretty useless.
Full auto is fun but too quick to be accurate. 3 round burst would be better then semi auto though. My uncle actually owns a 3 round burst Vietnam era m16.
Damn...full auto John?? I'll show up there some day....
semi auto for shtf and self defense, full auto if you have to put shots in order to move or provide cover.
Yep!!! Lol maybe burst but semi is still more controllable.
I'd like a simple double-tap trigger for HD if it was legal. More effective than semi auto, and far more controllable than full auto
It’s called binary triggers & they’re legal
more effective? No. Binaries completely change the fundamentals of what shooting a firearm traditionally is. The reset becomes another round, completely changing your splits, cadence and comfort behind each shot. Usually you shoot off of reset, this makes that strange to do.
Choice? What choice?
Here's your choice: semi-auto or pump (old school = wheel gun).
Let's see how much longer the government "gives" us a choice 🤔.
@@papimaximus95 the people used to be the government. At least, that's how it was originally intended. "Bread and circuses" killed that.
@@papimaximus95 "the People are the government." Not for quite a while now. The Oligarchy has turned into the Technocracy now.
@@papimaximus95 So many assumptions on your part. I am an employee of my municipality. I see the naked corruption daily and fight it in the ways and means available. I fight the battles but recognize the war is already lost.
@@papimaximus95 Sure, right after you dox yourself as well 😂
Which instructor teaches the push-pull for carbines? Is it the shotgun guy?
I shouldn't have to sign up for prime to get a full auto!
I think the best think is full semi-auto that CNN told me about. I can't find one though.
yeah i cant find these ghost guns either, somehow i cant make my guns invisible :/
Well, with the SBR, you basically just put the gun up and shot. Whereas with the longer rifle, you put the gun up and took your time to look through the sighs, which is why your shots were more on target. I have both setups like that too and while the SBR (pistol in my case) is a little harder to control, if I take the same amount of time to get the shot, I'm just as accurate.
why have you not done a video on Jacob Blake yet?
Flexing on the poors.
So what happened to the 1301 Beretta semi-auto 12gage with 8 shots flite control??
Love it and use it. Multiple tools are good.
Amazon canceled my order 😭😭😭
To be clear, assault rifles aren't capable of auto or burst because they are meant for suppression (though they can be used that way in limited capacity). Assault rifles were meant to serve in place of rifles and submachine guns. The mp40, thompson, grease gun, or mp5 weren't meant for suppression but had auto capability. They were meant to quickly fire bursts into close targets.
And that was the purpose of auto fire in assault rifles. That feature still may not be relevant to self defense but I think you have your military doctrine wrong.
Thanks John.
What about something that is full auto and has very little recoil, like an MP5, or a Sig MPX, or a P90. I personally would still choose my suppressed 10.5 inch 300 blackout AR pistol over any of those, however, I do wonder if your performance on target would improve if you were shooting a sub gun with less recoil.
Ignore this clown he’s disagreeing with everyone’s comments. Toxic troll
@@papimaximus95 lol you’re the one with issues so deep that you have to get a kick out of trolling RUclips comments. Very sad. May god have mercy on your poor soul
@@papimaximus95 lol just because you don’t have a full auto m4 doesn’t mean that I don’t either. Sorry me having a better gun than yours hurt your ego enough to have to spew garbage
@@papimaximus95 “ do you actually hear yourself”? right back at you clown
@@papimaximus95 atleast I have content you, on the other hand, have zero content so that you can hide and stay anonymous and go troll comments on videos. Great.
Can someone explain what john meant with the "push pull" on his carbine? I thought it was ideal to pull into shoulder

@@ASPextra thank you so much!
Nice
I was very good in full auto that time
I don't want to brag or anything but my pepper spray AND my contact taser are both full auto lol.
I prefer a m240 for home defense personally.
240B is the upgraded version ;)
Cool video.
My opinion, talking from experience. Full Auto is for Hollywood only. If you go into battle using full auto you better have 10 helpers carrying ammo for you.
I dont like this video
this is defeating to what we are trying to accomplish to "gain back our rights" which shouldnt even be a sentence
full auto is not just for the military
this video is really stupid now half way through
Full auto exists on rifles to increase suppressive fire without the use of machine guns. That was the thinking behind it, from a few sources I've read, as introduced onto the M16. Semi is much superior for MOST tasks.
The longest 10 yards I’ve ever seen 🤣🤣
So now the other obvious home defense question; When at home in the dark with a bright mounted light being used. Would you rather have iron sights on that .223 inside of 40 feet?
No I would not.
@@ASPextra Thank you & I would like to get some feedback on that reply if you had the time. My thinking is there would not be a lot of aiming going on in a close quarters situation - my shouldered irons seem faster in that case. But then again I am just trying to get used to a red dot sight for the first time at 50+ years old(shooting since I was 10).
It is taking me more time to locate that tiny dot for my comfort level, and thats without stress being added in.
I suppose the answer here is practice more but Im not sure it is worth the effort. I think I may need one of those electronic aids to figure out reality over what my accuracy feelings are.
Doesn't say that NFA'34 is bad.
Fudd confirmed!
:D
+1point towards buying mantis blackbeard before the binary trigger after watching this.
You know, most autos are select-fire and are capable of semi-auto. ;)
Hickok45 is jealous😂
Full auto has no roll in a carbine
ifle. Military figured that out decades ago.
I shot a full auto G36C a couple weeks ago. It was awesome. I wish our Gov't wasn't full of control freak tyrants so I could legally own some full-auto's.
Full auto is SUPER FUN!
ALL rifles should have full auto out of the box
"Giggle-switch"
Lets be honest shall we.
Your house could easily turn into another Waco the moment _anyone_ hears that full auto cyclic rate. Unfortunately, _We the People_ do not get the choice of Full vs Semi auto anymore. Those that do have select-fire here in the great state of Arizona have other designated tools for home defense. Then again, they also tend to have layers of security in place.
If a criminal somehow managed to defeat all those layers then you probably woke up in an "Ocean's" movie!
_"Asking permission to exercise a Right turns that Right into a Privilege."_
Stay classy my friends.
"shut up and shoot john" *continues talking*
Shooting machine guns after 3 cans of redbull..
i always forget he is a lefty
Neither of those are a shotgun tho...
full auto =no control.
I only have exception with the use of the term assault rifle, or assault weapon. This is an anti gun term made up to confuse and scare people
We need to stop using it all together, the military does not have assault rifles, we have rifles and machine guns, that’s it. Unless something has changed since 2015, the US Army issues rifles that are either safe, semi (single shot) or 3 round burst, and nowhere, but nowhere are they labeled or referred to as assault weapons or assault rifles, NoWhere! Soldiers will call their rifles either rifles or weapons. never but never will any soldier ever refer to their weapon as an assault rifle, Never. We need to stop using their made up terms.
Machine guns like the M249 (saw) or M2 (.50 cal) or the 240B(ravo) are machine guns, they’re always full auto, they’re used for fire superiority and fire suppression, and again nowhere but nowhere does the army refer to these weapon systems as assault weapons
Please eradicate this made up term from your vocabulary, please
are those cat ears?
uWu
id take a full auto over a semi any day. i wont watch this video. yes i know there are advantages and issues with full auto. but the option is where i want it.
IMO Full auto is a big advantage if a bunch of people are trying to all rush you at point blank range simultaneously. Or in CQB where volume of fire is more advantageous then individual aimed shots.
