I was talking to a friend today and he happened to bring out his Chinese SKS with a 30 round clip. It was a pretty "tactical" looking weapon, what really caught my attention was the rounds, how sharp they were. Always thought bullets were more rounded. We were talking about the advantages of a 30 clip and agreed, it's just fun... but really not "necessary" for any legal use of the weapon. He thinks you guys are goofy getting all bent out of shape because I asked the obvious question BTW. Either way, it was interesting to talk so someone who had so much experience, and wasn't all defensive... so I could actually get to the point of my questions. When you absolutely lose it and decide your best way out is to shoot up a school or movie theater or dirtbike race and then commit suicide by cop, you'll probably want a fully auto, milled receiver AK47 with a 100-round magazine. And you would probably kill less than with the semi auto. After the gun climbs and puts most of the rounds in the ceiling, most will still be alive. That is really trigger discipline. You are supposed to fire short bursts. In fact the current M-16 only fires 3 rounds at a trigger pull in auto. Didn't know that. They've changed it. Used to fire a whole clip in about half a second. Bull****. . Well, I guess it really took a couple seconds to go through 30 rounds - but it seemed like half a second! |
