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.
==========================
that's a 39 round. And that compares with other weapons how?
Less powerful than many hunting rifles. Actually kind of a
mediocre round.
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.
====================
Yep. Just what is was designed to do, wound.
They have quite a respectable rate of fire as well, even if
they
aren't the most accurate assault rifles in the world.
==============
So do many other weaopns..
The fact that criminals aren't likely to have any qualms about
modifying their ammo (hollow points etc) doesn't help either.
=======================
Yeah, sure, crack dealers are just sitting around making their
own rounds...
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.
======================
The point was that they are less powerful than many other rifles
that are not the dreaded "assault" weapon. A disignation based
on looks, not killing power or accuracy.
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.
==================
The point was that they are less powerful than most hunting
rifles.
