Guest Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 an bit of a departure for you. I would have figured you'd pull some stats on just how many 11 year old boys have an AK in Africa right now. like this from unicef... One reason for this is the proliferation of light weapons. In the past, children were not particularly effective as front-line fighters since most of the lethal hardware was too heavy and cumbersome for them to manipulate. A child might have been able to wield a sword or a machete but was no match for a similarly armed adult. However, a child with an assault rifle, a Soviet-made AK-47 or an American M-16, is a fearsome match for anyone. These weapons are very simple to use. The AK-47 can be stripped and reassembled by a child of 10. The rifles have also become much cheaper and more widely available—having few moving parts they are extremely durable and have steadily accumulated in war zones. Since their introduction in 1947, around 55 million AK-47s have been sold; in one African country, for example, they cost no more than US$6 each.9 The M-16 is just as ubiquitous, and has been described by one military historian as the "transistor radio of modern warfare."10 full report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BROWNer Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 ps- i don't know how many of you get sundance channel, but they have a documentary on the man and his penile extension. www.sundancechannel.com "Cheap, easy to handle and durable under extreme conditions, the invention of the AK-47 assault rifle changed the course of the second half of the twentieth century. German filmmakers Axel Engstfeld and Herbert Habersack visit Mikhail T. Kalashnikov, the AK-47's 80-year-old designer now living in obscurity in the Ural Mountains, and document how his creation became the weapon of choice of warriors in conflicts around the globe, from Taliban resistance guerrillas in Afghanistan to street criminals in Los Angeles.

miles apart Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 They're very readily available. A freind of mine owns 2. Only problem is that they come without the ability to switch into fully auto I believe, a problem easily fixed with a bar of metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villain Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I thought street sweepers were uzis? Anywho I love the ak-47! It's as durable and reliable as a shotgun. I've shot through several big logs in a row with this thing... powerful as fuck! And it's not annoyingly loud like the m-16. The only thing I don't like is the m203-esqe sighting. But that can easily be changed. That ak-47m looks badass! And that pkmsn... That last one the elephant trunk looking gun must be one of those new-fangled around the corner shooters.

Vanity Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 i saw an interview w/ him.. kinda goofy guy. he was pissy about the chinese stgelaing his design. they also interviewed a bunch of americans that were pissy cause it was suck a superior gun, and it is what gave the gov't the motivation to design the m16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 'street sweeper' is a particular shotgun, i cant remember who made it, but i wanna say either beneli or dawoo that had a big drum that held, i believe, either 18 or 24 rounds. saying that ak's arent as loud as m-16 model guns, is just kinda hog wash. ak's have a very distinct, very loud sound. also, they can not 'easily' be made fully auto with a simple metal bar, there are bolt on attachments you can buy, but they're pretty ghetto. to convert it to fully auto, you need to have the firing mechanism milled out in a machine shop. if you know what you're doing, its easy, but its not like propping the bolt open with a popsicle stick.

villain Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Yeah I saw that interveiw. I missed the part about the Chinese stealing the design though. I do remember the part about americans being pissed off in vietnam when they first encountered the ak-47 they were like "Holy Shit! We need something like that!" Yeah it really revolutionized warfare. Anybody used an ak-67 yet? Supposed to be way better than the ak-47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TEARZ Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 everybody's strapped huh... i shot one of these when i was a little sport/tiger. it scared me how loud it was, but also how easy it was to shoot. i don't think i've shot a gun since. i also remember shooting an m-16 around the same time; the m-16 was harder/scarier to shoot as i remember. browner, you arming your dump truck with swivel joints?

M16A2's are easily rid of that problem . ak's are shit. for those who dont know. recognize. kalishnikov came public about having regretted ever inventing the AK. probably because its a trash weapon.
