Now I didnt mean just any bullet. Of course, a rifle is not meant for home use.

This brings back one of my original posts where I asserted the CX4 storm would be the ideal home defense weapon.

Usually when I fire off a .40 caliber pistol, I feel as if I am on the deck of the USS New Jersey when a big 16 incher is going off. Lots of flash and bang.

However, the .40 coming from a long barrel is much more satsifying.

Check out this youtube video.

Look at how smooth of a operation this is when cooking off some rounds. Not much kick and jiggle from the long gun. Not much flash and bang as if your firing a civil war musket.
