I've been researching, and I want something that is A) a long gun and B) semiautomatic and C) fun to shoot. I've been looking at Hi-Point Carbines because they're cheap, supposed to be fun, and have a lifetime warranty. I also want something that would be useful in an instance of self defense. I also don't want a large caliber rifle. I was looking at the 9mm carbine and that carbine specifically because it looks like it would be fun to quickly switch between targets at a close to medium range, without being too expensive because of the 9mm ammo, and it has that lifetime warranty.
