Well, you might as well have more. In case of zombified velociraptors or some other supernatural terror decides that today is the day that it wants to mess with you, you know

I've read stories of home invasions and encounters on the street where there are more than one attacker, sometimes up to 4. A revolver can only do so much in those situation and just because you shoot one guy down doesn't always make the others run away scared.

Home invasions are another thing altogether. Anything goes then. I have a Remington 870 and a fire axe ready for that. But I can't really hide either down my pants for carry.

Tell anyone who asks that you're just really happy to see them?

[Excalibur]

Yeah, to be fair, if there's a home invasion happening, I'd grab my rifle as well but that's a different situation. What about if you attacked by a gang? I've read about it happening.

Yeah, this is exactly why I keep my SKS-M with a 30-rounder ready to go

I saw the picture of your SKS earlier. Is the detachable magazine mod permanent? I thought about doing that to my SKS, but that'd make it illegal to own in NJ, and I'd like keep the option of moving back one day.

Mod? It came straight from Norinco with the ability to take AK mags


I'm like the least likely person ever to mod my guns

Oh, I didn't know such a thing existed.

[Excalibur]

Yeah, Norinco SKSs have that ability. I remember wanting to buy a Paratrooper variant that can take AK mags.

Anyway, off topic.

Revolvers can mess up if abused. The timing can be thrown off, has problems when dropped in lots of dirt or sand. Anything that hinders the rotation of the cylinder of a revolver will cause it to stop working. Anything that keeps the cylinder from locking up at the right place (timing) can affect its ability to fire. Something as simple as lint from a pocket or purse can stop a revolver from working. It does not take sand to stop a revolver.
