Even in 300 yards accuracy matters and with regular sized hunting weapons the length of the barrels isn't a problem. Especially as I meant with the "long" barrel a regular length barrel that is long compared to many military firearms. Why you would need to get out of the vehicle with gun in your hand? Haven't heard about trunk or getting out of the vehicle and then picking up the weapon? And how is shorter weapons safer in those instances? You do it with loaded gun? Hopefully not.

Yes, why you would get one? Nail guns and hammers are for different purpose, so that comparison doesn't match. To what you need your military firearm, so that hunting firearm isn't enough, assuming you use it to hunting? If you need hammer, why you would buy nail gun or vice versa?

Obviously a bow isn't a gun but if a hunter can kill an elk within 100 yards with a bow then they can do the same with an SBR let alone a 16" barrel. The fact remains that a long barrel isn't needed.

Your words are like those of somebody who has never hunted a day in their life. If you need somebody to explain why a shorter barrel is safer and easier to manipulate then you don't belong owning a gun in the fist place.
