I know, I know.... but since we both enjoy Bimmers I thought you could make an exception
When I get back to the "world" I'll have to come down to see you and we can go shoot. I am from Tampa. As a matter of fact I was in your neck of the woods in January. Flew back to Florida and went on a Caribbean cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale. I miss Florida, but Germany rocks!

Question, how did the AK47, a product of the Soviet Union (though now manufactured by others as well) and what seems to be the weapon of choice for, Communist, anti-democratic revolutionaries, terrorist, murders, and America hating Islamic & other wackos the world over, find such favor with the American gun enthusiast.?
It seems to be well engineered, (reading some of the gun threads on here) but if I were a collector, I would have a hard time with a weapon responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans.

I have an AK. It's never once tried to kill me. We have an understanding, I guess. It's not the AK's fault, it's the dude using it.

i dont understand the fascination with guns. yeah maybe they were cool when i was 12 years old and playing 'GI Joe' with my buddies, but honestly what on earth do you need a fully automatic assault rifle for? to hunt? (go to a grocery store, are u really gonna load a deer up with 20 hollow point rounds and then eat it????). to 'protect' yourself? (get yourself a pitbull or move to a better neighborhood and stop being so paranoid).
60 minutes yesterday said the majority of assault rifles end up in the hands of drug gangs in mexico. the overwhelming majority of 50 caliber rifles end up overseas in the hands of rebels in the baltic or middle east...heck there was one albanian guy arrested here in NY who was buying up 50 calibers by the truckload and shipping them to yugoslavia....guess those werent used for hunting, or were they?
i dunno, maybe its just the mentality with people from the south/midwest/texas...i just dont understand it.

I have been deployed and the AK has been my best friend. Especially the Krinkov short version.
But, the top three reasons I love the AK are:
1. Reliability
2. Reliability
3. Reliability
If you NEED to press the trigger, you NEED the weapon to go bang!
Also, the Sig 550 (precursor to the SIGARMS 556) is an outstanding weapon. I carried one in Saudi in 2005 (552 SWAT). It is partially based on the AK.
