Frequently Asked Questions

Which firearms are best suited for a blindfolded survival scenario like in Bird Box?

Autoloading pistols like the Sig Sauer P228/P229 and Glock 17 are highly recommended due to their reliability, higher capacity, and ease of tactile reloading. Shotguns and revolvers are less suitable because of their handling difficulties and lower ammunition capacity when visibility is zero.

Why are autoloading pistols preferred over revolvers or shotguns for blindfolded use?

Autoloading pistols offer a significant advantage in capacity and allow for 'fist-to-fist' manipulation, making reloading by feel much easier. Revolvers have low capacity and difficult reloading, while shotguns are often too long and require two hands, making them impractical when blindfolded.

How did the expert rate the Glock 17 for the Bird Box scenario?

The Glock 17 received a top rating of 5/5 birds. It was praised for its 17+1 capacity, lightweight polymer frame, and extreme durability, making it a potentially ideal choice for the film's post-apocalyptic, blindfolded survival premise.

What are the limitations of shotguns and revolvers in a blindfolded combat situation?

Shotguns like the Remington 870 are powerful but their length and two-handed requirement make them difficult to manage without sight. Revolvers, such as the Ruger SP101, suffer from very low capacity (5 rounds) and extreme difficulty in reloading loose rounds by touch.
