The comments about short ARs are kind of funny, but also true. I can remember a SWAT team member cranking off a bunch of rounds from a really short AR on "group therapy" at the end of a range session. I was a good 40 yards away and it was obnoxious. There is a reason that many people advocate for suppressors as a safety device.

I've also done some trap shooting with my Mossberg 590. It's a service gun with an 18" barrel, and Vang Comped. When I was not being cussed at, more than a few people called it "The Earthmover". The concussion was epic.
