Frequently Asked Questions

What are some firearms that GunBros instructors advise against buying?

GunBros instructors suggest avoiding dedicated AR-22 rifles like the Tipman, citing preference for .22 LR conversion kits. They also critique the Kel-Tec SU-16 for poor ergonomics and the Stevens 320 shotgun for redundancy.

Why might a .22 LR conversion kit be better than a dedicated AR-22 rifle?

Using a .22 LR conversion kit, such as those from CMMG, on an existing AR-15 platform is often preferred. This approach provides a more integrated feel and potentially better handling compared to dedicated AR-22s like the Tipman AR22.

What are the main criticisms of the Kel-Tec SU-16 rifle?

The Kel-Tec SU-16 style rifle is criticized by GunBros instructors for being uncomfortable to hold, too light, awkward to handle, and having an overly 'space agey' aesthetic, making it a firearm they would avoid.

Is the Stevens 320 shotgun recommended by GunBros?

One GunBros instructor finds the Stevens 320 shotgun redundant and unattractive, particularly if the owner already has shotguns with 18.5 or 20-inch barrels. They suggest it offers little unique value in such cases.
