Ridiculous gun stories you've heard.

Do the world a favor and remove him from the gene pool. Dare him to prove his point with a .50 BMG.

Or a 20mm, even better

Your dumb friend is half right, shortening a shotgun barrel would increase the spread. But that's about all it would do.

AR-15 uppers are getting crazy. I saw one that allows you to use muzzle loading black powder rounds, and one that turns it into a crossbow. Following this line of reasoning, it won't be long before we have an upper that hurls a rock.

The crossbow and muzzle loading uppers have been out for years. Recently I've been looking at the .50 BMG, bolt action and the AR57 uppers

I saw the AR57 upper at a gun show a year or two ago, and I was puzzled by why it would exist. You trade in the compactness of a P90 and the economy of 5.56mm for a bigger gun that shoots more expensive and harder to obtain ammo?

A guy at the range had a .458 SOCOM upper and he let me fire off a round. That at least makes more sense than the AR57.

The same sense on who would want a muzzle loader AR-15 or a crossbow upper on an AR-15 lower.

Some places may only allow black powder hunting or you may want to just shoot bolts. It may not make a WHOLE LOT of sense, but there's still a purpose. I can't figure out the niche of the AR57.
