And make sure they can do the job, so don't go for small calibres like this .225" that Serpico was shot pointblank in the kisser with; it just left a little hole in his cheek and he was right as rain a day or two later-

@Romeo Fabulini,
I'm not sure why these gun-lovers don't enlist into the military to live their fantasy? They might get the chance to "play with" the real big stuff!

No need to join up nowadays in the computer age mate, we can come home, have our dinner, then start a wargame on our computer and go on killing sprees anywhere in the world without having to leave our house..Smile

Me and my boys looking for trouble in the mideast-

@OmSigDAVID,
Oh David I was rolling on the floor by the news media taking the tack of how many people the AK had killed since it creation in fact far more then the two atom bombs attacks on Japan.

No kidding one of the best design battle rifles ever that is still used all over the world due to it superiority for sixty years have done what it was design to do how amazing.

A great example of firearm engineering/art similar to the modal 1911 A 45 in that regard.

Bullet sizes from left to right-
5.56mm / .30" / 7.62mm

Beats me why the US and Brit Armies introduced 5.56mm rifles with their baby bullets, as 5.56mm is only .22"!
Given the choice, I'd plump for a 7.62mm AK-47 "cannon" every time..Smile

Yes. I 'm sure that 's true.
I never looked at it quite that way b4.
Kalashnikov had an interesting biografy.
He was injured in a Russian battle tank
in the Second World War.
While in the hospital, he got the basic
idea for an automatic rifle. After the war,
he got a German slave to mentor his work, to wit:
the father of the Sturmgewehr 44 i.e., the Storm Rifle 1944,
Hugo Schmeisser. (This is not to imply that he was not also
the dad of many other very fine fully automatic weapons.)

Yes; particularly its ruggedness, not so much its accuracy,
in addition to costing next to nothing to make.
Thay were selling in Arabian bazaars for $12.

Credit for that goes to our American creative genius,
whom u have already mentioned: John Moses Browning, for Colt 's Mfgr. Co.
That yielded a historically interesting result for Colt, to wit:
Colt had a very successful .45 caliber revolver and its super-successful
.45 caliber automatic pistol: the 1911. BOTH! I wish Sam Colt had been alive to see it.

Recoil management.

If you want the range of a rifle, the ability to fire bursts of multiple rounds, and a gun light enough to be the standard infantry weapon, something's got to give way.

They do compensate though by having the rounds explode inside the body in violation of the Hague Conventions.

I'd have stuck with the .308, but made it semi-auto only.

Or better yet, the .300 Savage that the .308 was based on. When they added that extra power to create the .308, all they really did was add needless recoil. The .300 Savage does everything that the .308 does, just with less recoil.

A soldier can carry far far more rounds of that type of rounds then the 7.62 rounds.

Next most engagements happen within 300 yards/meters so a 7.62 round in not needed to reach out beyond that range.

Ah, but if the enemy is behind light cover such as a wood fence or shed, softskin vehicle, saplings or thick brush etc, or is wearing body armour, a small 5.56mm round loses much of its kinetic energy by having to punch through it, whereas a big 7.62mm will go through it as if it almost wasn't there.
For example Charlie used 7.62 AK's throughout the Nam war, but US troops had only 5.56 M-16's.
Like I said, I'll choose an AK cannon every time..Smile

I wonder if you need to carry all the weight in the field and when you do get into a fire fight your enemy have three times the rounds to put down range then you do whether you would then change your mind.

Not a chance mate, I'd just carry more AK rounds..Smile
Incidentally here's that pic of me in a PC wargame again, I had to take this M-16 5.56mm rifle because that's what the brass issued me with, but I sure as hell made sure it had a grenade-launcher on it to give me extra killing power..Smile
(PS- the telescopic sight means you can't miss, most modern rifles have them but the AK doesn't, so in that respect the AK isn't as accurate but makes up for it in superior kinetic clobbering power)
