Two women, in their own driveway, had assault rifles pointed at them. ICE agents broke their car window with a rifle stock and dragged them out. (cdn.imgchest.com)

No. You buttstrike someone if you have no bayonet. Striking someone with the barrel is dumb because youre at least gonna fuck up your zero and you might bend the barrel which could cause a rapid unscheduled disassembly of your rifle when you fire it.

Military and police training literally say that if you need to melee with your gun you use a muzzle strike - it's usually reserved for someone who's actively trying to grab your gun by the barrel and you don't actually feel like using lethal force. Using a muzzle strike against a fleshy target won't do anything to the gun's zero or ability to fire, you don't do it on a hard surface like glass. Hitting someone with your stock might actually break the gun if the recoil spring goes through it.

I remember my bayonet class from my time in the army. We were never taught any such thing. We were actively discouraged from hitting things with our muzzle.

What is your experience with rifle combat? Because mine is practical application in iraq.

Edit: lol love the block because you got called out. Next time don't spout off stuff you don't know about. And maybe don't accuse people of being war criminals just because you're mad about being called out for being wrong.

Against women and children, I suppose?

Either way, it's been a thing for a while now. Buttstriking is not something you do with a long gun.
