IIRC I did say I have *some* experience with live weapons. Next time I go over to the states my uncle is going to try and organise some live firing sessions for me with the military unit on his base.
Oh and no I'm not going to reveal his name, rank and location. I'm not THAT stupid :roll:
Brother TicketMan, IIRC the AK47 is mainly steel pressings.. of course I don't know the EXACT materials used but there we go!
43000.. no I did not take my knowledge from games and TV THANK YOU. I know what sources my knowledge came from, you don't.
Also you talk about experience when you did 2 years in the service. My uncle was in the British Army for 12 years, and my dad for 9. My family also has a military history, including my grandfather who fought in World War Two (he fought in Africa and stormed the beaches at Normandy) and my great great Uncles who were sadly killed at the Somme (1916) and Paschendale.
I may not have the "experience" but one thing I mentioned in a previous post was that I gave up weapons 2 years ago because I now find them BORING.
Plus one more thing.. this thread is about weapons themselves. Not whether I have "experience" or not.. Back on topic please!! :roll: :roll:
