    funky lookin as hell, but still kind of awesome. Russian prototype from 1960 apparently
    I wish I was, but no. Last time I was home was just before the winter olympics, which was for my grandmother's 90th birthday. But yes, fuck this place, and yes, the TKB prototypes own.

    It is. Most of Korobov's designs used bakelite extensively.

    Other than that it's pretty awesome.
    They aren't AK mags :shh: They look similar, but they're not, I'm fairly sure.

Not to mention that its cold, really fucking cold.
    Yes, I do. It's just not on the scale of the Australian bush, which is really something that has to be seen to be believed. Basically everything between the desert and the sea is what you would call 'bush', except where it's been cleared for farming; and except for cleared tracks it is almost impassable. The area out the back of Holsworthy is particularly bad, you have to physically smash your way through the shit and really watch your footing, too. Roots and branches and holes fucking everywhere.

    AR debates aside, just got some new mags and some rail covers in for my AR-15. Bought mostly 20 round mags, but wanted a 30 round too just for funsies.

    Ross: king of twisting words to have new meaning. Your inability to read and not superimpose is dumbfounding.

    I also don't know what the hell kind of traditional stock you've been using, because I can keep one pointed at the enemy. It's more an issue of long barrels making that hard, with all the weight up front. That is not really an issue on modern weapons. You must have some seriously weak wrists. That said, I never asked what type of brush you were in, I asked what you could possibly do with it beyond one-handed firing and blind firing. I. Asked. That means I don't know. Of course I'm ignorant on it. You've clearly been in the brush for too long, because you've got a great big log wedged up your rear end. To compound your error, you didn't actually add anything; most of those fall under one-handed firing. One handed firing is as much of a gimmick as full auto; if you're carrying a man, the only thing you are going to be doing is laying down covering fire and your squad should be doing that as well. The probability of you hitting anything very, very small. If you're on your own, you have a greater chance of survival if you sling your gun and run with him over your shoulders.

    And fighting men cleared rooms with traditional weapons long before you were born. You know, real men who could shoot accurately without optics, carried 300 rounds of full-powered ammunition, and were capable of shooting through some enemy cover with their guns. There was nothing impractical about the SVT-40 at the time. There wasn't anything impractical about the StG. 44, either, or the BAR. What you're talking about isn't practicality, it's convenience. It's *convenient* to have a gun that weighs half an ounce (But is it really? Recoil). It's *convenient* to have a mid-sized cartridge that weighs less (But is it really? Crap penetration and stopping power). It's *convenient* to have a pistol grip because you get your one-handed firing (But is it really? Your gun can snag on brush and clothing and it has a larger footprint). It's all a trade-off. There is no one gun that is the best for every conceivable scenario.

    Even worse, you went off on the airsoft stuff. I already acknowledged it's not the real thing, but the shape of the weapon is the same. That's what is relevant here. We're talking about grips, not actually shooting, dodging fire, crawling around, etc. I know they are related, but that's only after you've figured out how you want to hold your weapon.

    Seriously. That was one of your most terrible posts ever. You're letting the fact that you are in the military cloud your ability to stop and weigh the pros and cons of both. I hope you realize this, but the military is not exactly the brightest or most efficient bulb in the box. You of all people should know that. In addition, you completely ignored your how own statement goes against your argument. Honestly, I'm rather disappointed in your ability to have a civil conversation.

    Meh, hate the Tavor. Mostly because it's Israeli, but it also kind of sucks. Much rather have an AUG.
