I think some people are jumping into this just based off of the title without reading the original post. Yes, using a very long weapon in cqb is pretty stupid because its putting you at a big disadvantage. Yes, it is smarter to draw a secondary/sidearm/pistol, but I would like to know the best way of handling a situation I am forced into.
Ive been in situations where there is not time(because the threat is immediate) to switch to a sidearm, or your sidearm is rendered useless either through a malfunction or out of ammo.
Ive got a full length Tokyo marui m14 with optics, tri rails and all sorts of cool gadgets on it, and because of the size of the rifle I cant exactly use a single point sling, nor properly sling it up on me in a timely fashion. If someone sneaks up on me or rushes a flank I usually do whatever needs to be done with whats in my hands, but If I had time to plan it out I would pull my pistol(if time permits and the situation calls for it, might load a 50rd mag in)
