Tolik, you will note that I was the one who posted the Roll your own AK.
Do I believe that most people “need” an AK/AR? I say that it depends. My 80yo mother could handle the TNW gun but a full size/power AK/AR is beyond her skill, ability and interest. Would she be any less protected with the TNW that she can handle? She’s not going to be storming the Reichstag just protecting her home.
In the case of the TNW, for a lot of people, the TNW is a viable replacement for the AR/AK. They don’t need the power of the larger guns. They don’t need the range of the larger guns. These styles are the modern version of the M1 Carbine. For those people who don’t need a full power gun and can’t handle a pistol well, like mom.
