    I have a Tec-22 pistol (a cheap mac-10 looking thing), a .223 Chinese AKM (AK47 knock-off), and a Russian Kalashnikov Saga 7.62.

    But with the babies, I don't do much shooting these days. <shrug>

    The M136 AT4 is known as a round of ammunition because once the rocket is fired, it is of no more use. We used training AT4s that fired 9mm rounds.

    That be the one! Had got ready to restore it, refinish the stock etc, and found shrapnel in the stock in several places. I then decided to leave it all original. One of my favorites.

    Lovely piece of hardware. I had to ask to be sure because you said /mark/ four not /number/ four. And there *was* a /mark/ four, but it wasn't the
    same gun.

    <sigh> It's been 30 years since I've handled one of them...

    i had heard that in england the police officers don't carry guns but billy club things.. i thought that was odd.. but different countries do different things.. but to not be allowed to own a single gun at all.. that's just not right imho.. i at one time owned a few guns.. and i love to shoot. but i'm responsable. and i take very precaution that i possable can think of.

    can you tell me why that you're not allowed guns? and is it just the
    military that can own, use guns/weapons?

    It's because someone invaded a elementary school in Scotland, and killed a load of little kids.

    You can have a gun with a permit, but you cannot possess it. It has to
    stay at a "gun club" where you can go visit it and target shoot with it.


    Farmers can possess shotguns for wildlife control. The police
    traditionally don't have guns, because they traditionally haven't needed
    them. (There are police marksmen with guns, but your average cop doesn't
    have one.)

    The murder rate here is tiny compared with the United States. More people
    are murdered every year in Phoenix Arizona than here. And this place as
    60 million people, as opposed to >2 million in Phoenix.

    i call that natural selection. if the kid isn't bright enought o run/hide or take control.. then bam.. one less person to worry about

    that's bullshit.. i guess there is one good reason to live in america.. right to bare arms

    Farmers can possess shotguns for wildlife control. The police
    traditionally don't have guns, because they traditionally haven't needed them. (There are police marksmen with guns, but your average cop doesn't have one.)

    thats good. so farmers and such can use/own guns for valid purposes.

    60 million people, as opposed to >2 million in Phoenix.

    this goes with what i posted above.. natural selection. i personally despise humans and yes that includes myself and related family members... but at the same time.. it is doubtful that i'll ever put myself in such a posistion that i'm murdered or whatever. so i guess i won't be apart of Natural Selection.
