“Taking ill” is an occupational hazard of being 93, I would guess.

Not as likely as the Russian *Soldier's sickness.*

Finger off the trigger! You figure the guy with one of the most prolific names related to firearms would know about proper firearms handling.

That’s what you drink when you just don’t care anymore. I don’t like vodka in general, and I’d never drink Russian vodka. I’d rather stay completely sober while everybody around is getting wrecked on the worst vodka you can find.

“...Finger off the trigger...”

No, he has it pointed in a safe direction...right at the Lenin portrait.

Anyone who has ever been under an AK-47’s fire - and lived - can never forget it.

He does; he was a Russian tank sergeant. The American way of doing things is not the only way of doing things, and the Russians are nowhere near as concerned about accidents in training as we are. To say nothing of the previous Soviet way of doing things.

He just might have enough experience with firearms to know whether it’s loaded or not.

"This is the AK-47 assault rifle, the preferred weapon of your enemy; and it makes a distinctive sound when fired at you, so remember it."

Concur. It's even more unforgetable if you were fortunate enough to reply with an AK family weapon...which I have, twice [RPK and a PK machinegun.]

That’s what you drink when you just don’t care anymore.

My preference in such circumstances would be Kossu. But there are those who would consider tequila a close cousin.

Likely not if they hang around with MikTim and his toys.
