Where did I ever say an AK47 knockoff is any different than
another less
vicious gun (whatever that means)?
==================
Just displaying the ignorance of you and other anti-gun
idiots.
The assualt rifle you keep spewing about works no differently,
and fires a bullet no more powerful than other weapons.
If you mean there are other weapons that are equally capable of
killing, I
am aware, and never said otherwise.
=====================
Really? I'm surprised. Your facination with a certain weapon
because of its looks is quite amusing. Again, what makes the AK
more dangerous than other weapons?
Well, the fact that AK47s fire 7.62mm hypervelocity rounds might
have something to do with it. They are easily capable of taking
off an arm or a leg if they stike bone, and, even if they don't
strike bone, they will blast out a sizable chunk of flesh.
They have quite a respectable rate of fire as well, even if they
aren't the most accurate assault rifles in the world.
The fact that criminals aren't likely to have any qualms about
modifying their ammo (hollow points etc) doesn't help either.
Of cource they are really no more lethal than any other
weapon that uses that size of high-velocity round, and only slightly
more lethal than an assault rifle using NATO issue 5.54mm rounds,
such as the armalite, L85A1 or the Steyr-Aug.
Any of that class of weapon is rather more lethal than an equivalent
low-velocity type weapon, though you are still just as dead if you get
shot by someone carrying a .22 pistol with good aim.
