      See RIP, had to go look it up. Didn’t realize he died, at 50, that’s so young. Damn.

    One time at a range the guy next to me with some custom AR burst fired a few rounds including one through the area cover on accident.

    That was scary, so I can’t imagine a full auto mag dump without your finger without even expecting to shoot was.

      Same thing happened to a guy next to me at a shooting training, AR burst fired after load & make ready. Luckily he was holding it in the right direction, so all the bullets flew downrange. It was still very scary.

      This is why the 4 rules are so important. Shit can go wrong, but if you do everything right, nobody will get hurt.

        Not anymore!

        It was the Russian standard rifle (that fires AK47 bullets) when their standard SMG was the AK47, right before they realized that the AK47 works just as well as a rifle and just made the AK47 their standard rifle. That didn’t stop Stalin from stockpiling enough of em for WW3 tho.

        So, when the USSR collapsed, they dumped approximately seven hundred trillion SKSes onto the market and they were selling for less than $100 each. Which made them cheap until Americans realized they were both cheaper and better than a hipoint.

          Most were cheaply made, and you can still find good examples for around $400-$500, same as a cheap AR.

    hat neighbor is going to be very confused the next time they actually watch Saving Private Ryan and realize there isn’t a 10-round wall-shredding scene in the first act. 😂
