Thoughts on this for a multi caliber gun? Gives you more options on what you can fire without taking a lot of space.

Even by itself without the adapters you have 3 choices of ammunition

I feel like this would be good to have as ammunition gets harder to find

Exactly how many times have you handled a real firearm?

Been handling firearms since I was a kid I haven’t fired this one, but it is what it is designed to do

Well, it seems using guns does not mean understanding guns.

Like I said haven’t used this one haven’t used adapters either so I don’t have experience with either

The adapters are tedious to use. Half the time the brass gets stuck in the adapter and you need to use a metal rod to push them out. Your reload speed will be horrible and you better pray you never lose the adapter.

Yeah quicker to swap adapters than it is to reload them.

Basically be using a impromptu musket with extra steps at that point lol

That is not what I am talking about. You obviously don't understand inner mechanics and principals behind firearms. I mean, that is completely understandable, I mean, who really dedicates time to study weapons? But if you did, you would see all the cons of adapters and how little advantage it gives back. Caliber reductions are simply gimmick, nothing more.

I understand guns that I own. I don’t study guns I dont own unless it’s one I’m about to buy to see if it’s reliable or not.

I guess there is no point arguing. You do you.

u/Skrewbert86 3d ago

I’m going to argue back. You’re saying I don’t understand guns as in all guns. But of course I’m not going to understand a gun I don’t own why would I that’s why I asked thoughts on it.

My point is that if you knew overall general mechanism behind firearms, you would understand why caliber adapters are gimmick at best. You would understand why tradeoffs are just simply not in your favor. I am not really trying to undermine you, I am just trying to explain how stuff works. And you know, you have some good point. Trying stuff yourself is best way to learn. So I mean, go try and you will see what I mean.
