I prefer an AK to an SKS. They shoot softer in my experience. If you can get a Polish one (WBP or FB Radom) or Zastava , that's what I like AK-wise. I used to be a "get an AR if you're serious" guy, but now I think follow your joy.

There's anecdotes of troops saying the 7.62x39 AKs had better stopping power than their 5.56 rifles. However, in my experience if you want better accuracy, modularity, a bit more customization ergo-wise, go for an AR-15. I'm not a combat guy but AR's are better suited for practical shooting competitions than AKs, the AKs struggle against distant small targets. My budget (well I've been upgrading it) AR with the right ammo can get just about 1-MOA groups, while my AKs are like 6 MOA. I've seen better AK accuracy but it's not something you can just expect from any AK.

You could get a stock imported AK for a thousand bucks and enjoy it, or for about that much money you could build a pretty great AR with a BCM upper and bolt carrier group, a nice trigger like a LaRue MBT2S, a good budget LPVO like a Primary Arms 1-6x Nova, and whatever pistol grip and stock strikes your fancy.

For fun on a casual range day and feeling cool, I'd pick the AK. For practical concerns I'll probably pick the AR platform.

Also, .300 Blackout AR is another option, you can get the terminal ballistics of an AK in an AR platform.

7.62 soviet is an intermediate cartridge closer to 5.56 than .308.

That helicopter looks 3d. Also wouldnt super expensive thermal image thingies see paint different? Also i think people are saying it because the damage doesn't look the same in thermal as it does in normal vision. Also also, there's a shadow (or really, a cooler spot on the ground because of shadow), that'd be hard to paint for thermal.

"The two sliding locking rollers that hold the bolt in battery during firing are not cylindrical shaped like in normal G3 rifles, but semi-cylindrical shaped to offer a non-random more precise positioning on corresponding flat surfaces in the barrel extension locking recesses." says wikipedia [unsourced]

Also claims better-than-1-MOA accuracy. Which is pretty good for a semi-auto rifle, especially at that time.

The Prestige tied with The Fountain because my friend made a lewd joke when he drank the tree sap.

Really disappointed to see Wim Wenders say keep politics out of filmmaking.

would be fun to make it a bit more wonky and stylized, it's not like it needs to be a CAD drawing

The poster's text states that on September 4, the Social Democratic Party demonstrated in front of parliament to demand the right to vote.

Do I look like I know what a gay peg jizz?

 

It's really good. Got an almost perfect score shooting five stand. I like a circle-dot reticle for it. The key is to keep both eyes open, acquire the target as quickly as possible and focus on it. Then, all I had to do was put the big circle-dot in the flight path ahead of the clay.

For home defense and drone defense, I think this setup is the way to go.

 
 

"That would be the outdoor cats," I responded as I stacked the rocks and slid them across the floor.
