This Week on Student of the Gun: the Chiappa M4-22

It is only fitting that this week we are AR heavy. We’ll take a close look at the Chiappa M4-22, a rimfire version of the famous black rifle that is a hoot to shoot. Our friends from CMMG introduce us to a .50 caliber muzzle-loading AR, you read that right and you’ll need to see in to believe it. We get a sneak preview of a new rifle from Magnum Research and the brand new K-10, a multi-caliber version of the Vector submachine gun from KRISS USA.

During a special personal defense segment, Paul examines the modern .223/5.56mm carbine and considers why it just might be the King of Home Defense tools. We’ll consider ammunition choices and conduct a side by side comparison with nearly identical 9x19mm and .223 carbines.
