Hi-Point / MAWL at MOGO24: Wheels Come Off the Struggle Bus (Ad-free)
🕑 Added 2024-04-01 12:00:10 +0000 UTCFor my Active Division run during the staff match portion of Moons Out Goons Out 2024, I set up a 9mm Hi-Point carbine with a BE Meyers MAWL last unit. Great laser; terrible gun. My hypothesis was that the gun itself didn't really matter so long as it was reliable and accurate enough to hit a silhouette at ~125 yards. The Hi-Point met those criteria, but I failed to recognize just how much its reloading and other manual of arms elements would hinder me. The MAWL was fantastic, and is the only reason my performance wasn't absolutely dismal.

that's what german competitors have to deal with alas. 10rd mags JUST SUCK. damned. btw: what would be the cheapest gear/division/class on the "in the dark" side? mounted flashlight or two?

A shoot match Possibles bag needs lube oil, stick on rubber bumper pad material ; 1/2 inch thickness, lens cleaner and batteries as basics plus whatever.

Amazing match - thanks for sharing. I liked your experiment with the HiPoint.

Applause for your audacity in choosing the HiPoint carbine! Your theory was sound; at least, until it was tested. The magazines on the Hi Points have long been noted as the biggest weakness, and the trigger is more like trying to squeeze juice from a half-frozen lemon than the fabled glass rod breaking. If they ever solve those issues, it would change the carbine from a fun range toy to a real option, I think.

Lots of valuable lessons learned at this venue. I’m sorry you had to endure that, I’m sure it was frustrating for you, thanks Ian!
