If you were going to war and I handed you a water pistol would you take it because it was free?

If you aren't making enough money doing "executive protection" to afford to buy an A1 shorty then you need to find another gig.

Yes I do have a better idea. Get a civilian version AK. Inexpensive, light and just as scary to most people as the AR.

Also just a note. Talking about having to shoot people and getting shot at just makes you sound like an arse.
