Pistol
Pistol caliber carbines are a great topic for discussion. There are three schools of thought, which usually evolve into three different arguments. Let's work through those arguments. I am going to give you a point of view for each.

Featured
Franklin Armory has pridefully set itself apart from other firearm manufacturers by creating firearms and firearms products specifically to address the restrictive laws in some states. This appeals to potential gun owners in states that would otherwise not allow the purchase of certain firearms and firearms components. Franklin Armory has a stable of innovative engineers that find solutions to states with restrictive gun laws.

My mind automatically goes to the Barrett shoulder-fired rifle when conversations turn to the .50 BMG caliber. The appropriately named .50 BMG was developed back in the early 1900s for the .50 caliber Browning Machine Gun, hence the designation of BMG. It is not a new round by any means, as it has been around for 100 years. Mostly used by the military, there are however variants of the .50 BMG that have been approved for civilian use.

Maybe it's not a watercooler conversation at work, but in the realm of firearms royalty, the mere mention of the name Barrett will make even the most negative and judgemental firearms critic stand up and salute. And I can pretty much guarantee the conversation will sound a little like this: "Barrett? Yes Sir!", "Barrett? Heck Yeah!", or simply "Barrett? Oorah!", short and sweet, and that's all that needs to be said about the universal understanding of the Barrett brand.

Gatling
Oh the glorious Gatling Gun! No black and white war movie would be complete without a soldier cranking out hundreds of rounds per minute at advancing enemy troops. The mere knowledge of a Gatling Gun being used by opposing troops made the soldiers of the day shake in their boots. At the time, there was no counter to the Gatling Gun, no shield from its fury, and little chance of survival if you were a foot soldier trying to advance on an army using this terrifying machine on the front lines.

Ammo
9mm is the most popular and most purchased ammo in the world. It's used by militaries, law enforcement, for personal defense, and is a standard competition round. Tests have shown that in the exact case scenario, 9mm Parabellum (9mm Luger) performed well and yielded the same results as .40S&W calibers in close combat situations. 9mm Parabellum is widely available and relatively inexpensive. You should always practice with the round that you carry, and 9mm allows you to do just that. Reasonably priced and produced by every ammo manufacturer, you won't have any problem finding your favorite.

What
At the heart of every AR 15 is a bolt carrier group. The bolt carrier group sits in the center of the rifle, in front of the stock, above the magazine, and behind the barrel. It's inside the rifle and is incredibly important to the weapon's function. Like everything in the AR-15 world bolt carrier groups is varied depending on the user's budget, caliber, and build intentions. That might answer your question about what a AR-15 bolt carrier group is, but if not, keep reading because we are diving deep into the world of the BCG.

AR-15
The AR-15 is a modular weapon, and as a modular weapon, the design is endlessly customizable. You can buy or build almost any size and caliber of AR-15. One big decision you'll have to make is the barrel, and as far as barrels go, we have a lot to talk about.

9mm revolvers are so freakin cool. They allow you to use the most common round out there for handguns, but in a classic wheel gun platform. It also allows revolver shooters access to a wide variety of loads, which includes reduced recoil and defensive ammo at any weight. 9mm ammunition is also cheaper than any centerfire revolver cartridge. 9mm revolvers simply make sense.

What
If you look at the side of your AR-15's lower receiver, it likely says something like Multi-Cal. What exactly does that mean? Well, the AR-15 may have started its life as a small-bore rifle chambered in one caliber, but the popularity of the rifle has ensured it now comes in more flavors than Ben and Jerry's. Let's look at some of the most popular calibers the AR-15 now finds itself in.
