They were armor piercing hollow points. It was a .22 Cal AK47. Their plan was to bring down an Army helicopter. The rifle was fully automatic.

That's not what the story says.

A .22LR isn’t going to pierce much armor. A .223 will pierce a little.

But you don’t bring down a helicopter with .22. You bring it down with a shotgun firing a cable or large bolo.

That’s what the insurgents in Iraq would use against us. They are also using high-powered civilian lasers to blind/disorient drivers and pilots.

Look for those attacks coming to your city intersections in the future.

The article says “bolt action.” FYI, “bolt action” is incompatible with “fully automatic.”

AFAIK, hollow points aren't armor piercing.

Opposite job.

AK47s aren't made in .22.

Their rifle was bolt action.

You pulled an army helicopter out of your @ss, along with everything else you wrote.

A combined 61 years in prison for a .22 rifle? Dear God!

Britain is lost.
