Ask Richard Burton.

Joint Statement by NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre and Chief Lobbyist Chris Cox On Passage of the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act"

Friday, July 29, 2005

Today, in an historic vote in Second Amendment history, freedom prevailed.

When it comes to something as fundamental as the Second Amendment, the American people are determined to protect this freedom. That?s what happened in the United States Senate today.

The final outcome of the U.S. Senate vote on S. 397 -- the ?Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act? -- is a groundbreaking step forward for law-abiding firearm manufacturers, retailers and owners in this country. The National Rifle Association (NRA) invested many years trying to pass this needed legislation that will put an end to politically motivated predatory lawsuits.

simply put, because i can. i collect guns and use target shooting as a hobby away from computers. i go to work and deal with computers. on the weekends, i shoot guns at old computers and computer parts.

if you've never fired a gun, dont knock it because you dont like the idea that they're dangerous. knowning how to handle guns properly helps to prevent accidents and shooting guns are actually pretty fun. the reason i choose assault rifles to shoot is that they are made to be reliable. i can go months without cleaning my ak and it will fire everytime.

the reason we can buy them in america is that it's our right to bare arms and protect ourselves. the country was founded with that in mind. if the government makes guns illegal, then only the criminals will have guns.

Funny story bout that right to have a gun... Only if you're in the militia do you have a constitutional right to own a gun. Anyone else with one is just working on the good will of the gov't. Aside from that, and back on topic, I'd personally pick the M4, or any armalite-style series for that matter. Never having fired either in real life, I personally like the smaller size and design of the M4. But then again, something about wood trim on a firearm kicks ass.

The current United States Code, Title 10 (Armed forces), section 311 (Militia: Composition and Classes), paragraph (a) states "The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard." Section 313 of Title 32 refers to persons with prior military experience who could serve as officers. These persons remain members of the militia until age 65. Paragraph (b) further states," The classes of the militia are--(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

Morality aside...

I really hate the use of M4s in games and such, because they are thought to be some super firearm.

The M4 is for mobility, to be lightweight, and to replace pistols. It has the 5.56mm NATO round. Not the greatest, but effective. If I were to use this, it would be if I was some 'special forces' guy who would have it 'modded out,' (as some of you put it) AKA scope, silencer, etc. If you want to use an Armalite series weapon, skip the carbine crap and use a full size rifle, M-16 or AR-15.

However, in regular combat, the AK-47 would be much better. 7.62mm Soviet rounds aren't exactly the greatest, but they do quite well. The AK can field strip much better, and is much more rugged. (Cheaper, too)

That's just my opinion.

My dad has both and he's used both (in Vietnam). He likes the M4 SOPMOD better, but then again.. he was Force Recon and didn't get the same old crappy rifles as GI (general infantry). One of his buddies has a Barret M82A1 and I bet that that is the best rifle.

And yes it isn't an assault rifle... I know. You can't beat point five o.

Well it depends on the environment. I know you said Afghanistan, but the open country side or a small town or village.

The M4 has better accuracy and distance but the AK47 has more penetration and knock down power. You can ask anyone that fought in Fallujah (Nov. 04) to testify.

Although I do have more gaming knowledge then real factual knowledge of games. I know games are mad in interpretations of guns so I watch like crap loads of documentarys about guns. A couple on just AK-47 vs M4A1

Ak-47 is more powerful and doesnt jam as much I'd go with the M4A1 as it is much more accurate and has teh silencer option and can be scoped with a grenade launcher. :D

From a gaming point of view I would like a SteyerAug as its what the Australian Military use.
