I really like this thought and agree with you. Wouldn’t this make the viewers more aware/prone to recognize this pattern or behavior or events if they do see it on television? Or possibly people don’t draw the connections or brush them off as fantasy, as you said? Rambling a bit, I guess I don’t have an answer
The felt recoil is greater I think. Not too certain if that’s fact or opinion. I had to do some playing around with buffer weights to get it right. I do have quite a few 9mm ARs and a Stribog that my girlfriend has had no complaints about, she actually enjoys shooting those the most. Sound is not as harsh as a 556. I guess that may depend on the barrel length you go with, and muzzle as well. I run 8” on most of mine. I do have one 16” rifle in 9mm that is both quiet and has no kick whatsoever.
The Keanu Reeves movie?
