Stop, before you bombard me with comments that a good lever gun is better than an AR or heaven forbid, some sort of shotgun, today I had the opportunity to handle the Gilboa Snake. This is a short barreled, siamese version of an AR 15; two ARs hooked together at birth.

The answer should be obvious; it can waste twice the ammo of a standard AR at twice the speed. The cost of admission will be about three grand and the good news is that even though this is two guns in one, you only need one optic.<\/p>\n<p>Some folks will have to have one.
