AK 47's for everybody!!!

So, we all know the about the Automatic Kalashnikov.  Along with the M16 its pretty much one of the worlds best known rifles.

The most famous AK is of course the AK 47, which fires a 7.62x39 round.

There's also the AK74 which fires a 5.45x39.


Here's the two next to each other.  Due largely to call of duty people often assume that the 74 is physically significantly smaller than the 47.  This is of course a misconception, both guns come in a variety of sizes.  This is the AK74su from CoD:



The 74 was the Soviet response to the nato switch from 7.62x51 to 5.56x45.  The idea behind this was that the side that fires the most bullets usually wins.  If bullets are smaller, a soldier can carry much more of them.  A soldier with an AK47 carries 90 to 120 rounds.  One with a AK 74 could carry 150 or more.  Even though each round packs less of a punch, the sheer volume of them makes up for it.  Also a new thought is that smaller faster bullets are better at armor piercing.  Despite the existence of the 74, the 47 of course remains popular across the world.

Enjoy, more next time

Gin and Tonic... and otter pops

So today I am done with finals.  I proceed to have some gin and tonic.  My friends inform me that gin and tonic has more than gin and tonic in it.  This is unfortunate.  My drinks are warm.  They also taste like crap.  I put cold otter poops in my drinks.  Not only do they cold the drinks up, they also flavor them up to.  Highly recommended to those of you of legal drinking age.

So... Fallout.  Good guns mostly.  They often reflect real life in execution.  The .357 magnum can fire .38 ammo!  The 5.56mm can fire .223!

That being said the laser guns and carbines are poor.  The "service rifle" is a good AR15 replica, firing 5.56mm ammo, but the M4 (assault carbine) fires 5 mm ammo.  I'm sorry but if it looks like an M4 and it shoots like an M4...

10mm is questionable.  10mm is the 40 s & w for big people.  I really think the 10mm is an underdeloped round I would love to learn more about ( no disrespect, I would love to be proven wrong).  The 10mm SMG is an amazing gun though!\

Energy weapons:  Well... you all know that the plasma rifle is the ultimate choice in home defense, but a laser rifle is best for combat in open fields.  Make the choice that is best to you.

Listen.
Guns in fallout are realistic.
They are not real.

Thank you for the great question Ke3user!

PSN out. So I bought the new fallout

I just got fallout new vegas because all my games are online... gah!  I'll write a review in a few days when I've played it a bit.  I'm also thinking about starting a series on assault rifles.  If there's anything in particular you guys wanna know about let me know, and I'll do some research.

Peace

Mossberg 500

Since the post about my steyr did so well compared to my other crappy posts, heres another one about my shotgun, the mossberg 500.  I bought it from big 5 with a 18.5" Barrel and a 28" barrel with a modified choke.  Out the door it was about 300.  Excellent value.  I've never actually used the short barrel, so just be satisfied knowing it's there.



The long barrel is amazing.  I take this thing trap shooting every so often and it always performs amazingly.  One of my friends once shot a 24 out of 25 with it.  Its a very lightweight gun because of the synthetic stock,  so it swings well.  It does kick quite a bit but if you've shot a rifle before you can probably handle a 12ga target load out of this.  Slugs are a different story as are buck, but as a big guy I really don't mind too much.  It has a huge squishy butt plate that makes it nice and soft on the shoulder.



With slugs its pretty accurate, and with buck you get a nice spread, but I'm not a hunter so I don't really give a good goddamn about that.  Tons of mods are available for it to make it into whatever level of tactical shotgun you want.  I'm also not a paranoid gun nut so I have no interest in turning my delightful sporting arm into a destructive device, like dis:



Thanks for the readz
