Dont make me drool at the thought of that. That would have been justice. Some vigilante walking up and ripping his body apart with an ak47.

what are some of the capablilities of various assault rifles? I've heard that you can shoot through like cement walls and stuff (up to a certain thickness of course) with an ak?

It also depends on the type of rounds you use.

I have a WASR-10 err, AK47 also. Its a great weapon. You gotta refinish the wood trim though. I did mine up with some nice red oak stain and clear coat. I have only shot it once though, out my window on New Years. hehehe. It had almost no recoil at all which surprised me. I won't do that again though(out the window).

I know absolutely nothing technical about guns, i jus love powerful shit that can blow up shit. So your telling me you can fit a bigger bullet in guns? I thought you can only fit so big a bullet and such a size barrel? if I sound clueless its cause I am.

The diameter stays the same in a given caliber, but the weight of the bullet may vary. Take .30-06 for example there are 130gr bullets through 220gr bullets, but they are all within spec which is 7.82mm maximum diameter.

Most of the AK's shoot 7.62x39. You can get saigas and all, which are built on an AK platform, in .308, .223, even 12 gauge. Assault rifle calibers are intermediate in power, they're only about 1/3rd the power of your dads hunting rifle. They were made this way to be able to have controllable full auto, cuz almost nobody can hold control over a .30-06 in full auto. If you want shot for shot power that blows stuff up, hunting rifle calibers are way more powerful than assault rifle calibers.

5.56 nato is fast and light, shoots farther and doesn't penetrate as well. 5.45 pretty much same deal. 7.62x39 penetrates well but doesnt have the range.

Pretty much any rifle can blow up cement blocks and brick walls up to a certain thickness. Or if you got the ammo you can keep shooting and chew your way through any thickness. Many handguns too. They're not that tough.

My friend has one and his family has a farm, so they can shoot deer anytime on their property... 2am, van full of drunks, ak47, deer everywhere, now thats fun! lol

The ak is a good stirdy built rifle, fun to shoot very reliable, but only accurate for about 100 yrd.BTW is it chinese made? the true soviet made rifles are the best but harder to come by.......good luck like I said fun to shoot and amo realitively cheap

It is accurate out to about 300 - 400 yards dude. I don't know where you got your info but I have seen them in action on more than one occasion!
