Totally disagree.

Given my druthers, I'd take a AK over it's M-16 cousin anyday in close
quarters if only for one reason - it's shorter and had much better
balance even with the extra half pound of weight. It also will not
jam - ever. Fewer parts, quicker disassembly/assembly and in a pinch,
you can retrofit all AKs from other AKs.

It's simple, effective and easy to maintain. And up to 250 yards, as
accurate, or even more accurate, than the M-16 - whatever variant.

Now if you want to reach out and touch someone, that's a different
story. Close in, AK every time.

Hi folks.

If you ask over is rec.boats.sailing, you'll probably find some live
discussion about them. a couple or three years ago, I'd say, there
were some people tha were aproached by latter-day pirates, and

themselves with shotguns. Not sure though.
But a sail ship cald "Gandolf the Green" comes to mind....
I would prefer just killing them outright.

Leave the survivors to the sharks.

Roll your own. :)

Pretty easy to make a nice, nasty Molotov Cocktail only instead of
gas, use gun powder. Sweeten that with some roofing nails, a few
pieces of magnesium, 'ya got 'cha some elementary RPG material. Some
surgical tubing to launch and just let 'em get close enough -
wham, bam, thank you mam - toasted pirates.

I was wondering why so many pirates lost a leg...their slingshot failed
and the "nasty Molotov" fell to the deck and blew up. Homebrew Molotovs
won't hack it.

If you want to ward off pirates, get yourself a heavy-duty fully
automatic
rifle, preferably a reliable Soviet Avtomat Kalashnikova model 1947 with
a
75-round drum mag or a Barrett semi-auto that shoots .50 BMG. The .50
BMG
will hole a hull at and below the waterline and penetrate an engine.
Avoid
the "modern" U.S. automatic assault rifles like the plague. Too finicky.

The AK 47 is the most lethal and most reliable assault rifle ever
produced.- Hide quoted text -

End the crap easily. Like the tug that was held for a couple of months and
was ransomed. Just inform the pirates that their home village will be
eliminated from the living. And do it at least once.

no doubt the AK is musch simpler and durable, btu I wouldn't say it's
something like the greatest (not a direct quote from JimH) asault
rifle in the world.

H&K, FN-FAL.

concerning accuracy, simplicity, and durability, those are two names
to rememeber, two names to contend with. They also make arms chambered

I'm sure you know much more than I do about infantry actions.

None as I did not serve (my number was not called).

So are you disagreeing with me about the AK 47 or just trying to start more
**** with me as you have done since coming back from your Mouse vacation
today?

I think you need another vacation John........at least from this NG as we
fared far better without you and your nasty/argumentative/name calling
attititude while you were gone.

Chill out guy.


I've now asked you two questions.

They must be upsetting. Sorry. My bad.
