My point is simple. If you think that what you are doing requires more power then apply for an FAC. The idea that things would be easier with more power show little understanding of the increased obligation that comes with it. I have both FAC and sub 12 and I enjoy using both but when you need to work close in around buildings or are in wide open areas with few backstops a sub 12 is the safest option. A sub 12 as a hunting tool is worthwhile but fieldcraft is necessarry and lack of isn't a good enough reason to have more power.
