Didn't have a single fact right, but slapped it into print just the same.

That's some editor!

I had one. It was tough but very inaccurate past 25 meters. After firing 1,000 rounds I sold it. Kicked like an SOB.

We had Tommy guns in the 20s. The Gatling gun in the late 1800s. Weapons continue to progress.

I believe the AK was developed by the soviets to wound more soldiers than kill, needing two soldiers to carry the wounded to care...

ICBM, but I think it’s the case.

Why is it that the press quickly releases the type and manufacturer of the weapons used by these murderers?

That just provides future murderers with technical information that they don’t need.

The press is providing recommendations to future murderers.

I sometimes used to refer to my VW bug as my Strength-through-Joy Wagon. Nobody got it.

The thing is, he knows that’s not true, but he knows all the good little liberals will repeat it, and like a good liberal himself, he believes that if you repeat it often enough it becomes true.

There’s never been an assault rifle in the history of firearms, but nice liberal talking point though.

7.92 isn’t .303 British. It’s the even older 8mm Mauser. They cut down the 8mm Mauser cartridge to make the 7.92mm Kurz to feed the StG44.

Whenever leftist Liberals talk about firearms or religion they invariable show abject ignorance.

I believe I read somewhere that Eisenhower wanted the U.S. Interstate system built. It was patterned after the German autobahn road system.

KDF wagon.

I found a great book on the VW company called “Small Wonder”
by Walter Henry Nelson. Published in 1970. Goes though a lot of Ferry Porsche’s troubles trying to get someone to accept his designs.

You didn't translate it to a like Brit/American caliber. That's what I was going for.

Perhaps you could post an analogous English system caliber in a common round.

Interesting to know about the 8mm. Were they ammunition left over from WWI?

What Marc Fischer omitted was that before the AR-15, the Russians created the SKS, and then the AK-47. Both “assault rifles” in 7.62x39mm.
So, should we also attribute the model to Russian Communism?
