AK74??

or AK47?

74.

74.

Any pics of that gun? I'm curious to see how it looks like...

Don't want to be "that dude", but what you know as AK47 is actually called AK.

Yes.... and?

Must be a modern form of it, like the SG550 we use over here.

Nice gun.

Amazing what one can learn in a Fedora channel ;)

With people from all around the world, surely.

A very useful information for someone like me who writes a lot of stories

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIG_SG_550

The AK looks nicer. I wonder which is heavier...

AK is heavier

Fully loaded I think, don't know about empty

Is it bigger as well or just heavier?

These days I prefer small. Raspberry PI and SIG P220 ;P

The AK looks nicer. I wonder which is heavier...

AK is heavier, both loaded and empty.

Is it bigger as well or just heavier?

Let me flashback my Counter Strike knowledge ?

3.3/3.6 for AK74, 4.3/4.8 for AK.

Kilos.

Wow.

Almost a kilogram more.

P220 is pbly one kg.

Yeah, a destructive force

The recoil is quite bigger, but still

Never had a chance to fire from AK, but disassembled it. AK74 is a different story, we went to a field range with ours every weekend.

Its own weight balances it a bit

Funny part is that we got shiny new 74s from reserve warehouses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIG_Sauer_P220, fwiw

We were told that they are about to get discarded, but MoD can't give civilian weapons manufacturers shiny new guns if they weren't used a day, so, we were first and last users of those rifles while they were in service. Maybe someone owns my right now, dunno.

you can't keep them after service?

Of course no, it isn't Switzerland. :)

*acting as a gun expert only from years of online gaming knowledge*

?

here it's normal to keep it.

And our service is a mandatory year, very often without a single day off.

I can't even own a rifle by law. :) Only have a license for a smoothbore weapon.

Oh, and it almost isn't payed. :D

Obligated military service was removed from my country years ago, I would have liked to complete it

Smoothbore?

we have a basic training of 4 months and then 3 weeks every year. it's almost like a club where you meet friends ;)

Friends with guns ?

Smoothbore?

Shotguns, for example. Weapon class that doesn't have any riflings in a barrel

I'm happy that I never had to step a foot in military base.

Ah, okay, thanks for the explanation.

and when you are finished, you ask youself what to do with weapon, so you enter a sports shooting club and go to the range every now and then.

Except you can't keep surplus ammo at home, is that right?

Max I have tried has been paintball guns, lol

Max I have tried is artillery. ;p

Hahahaha

yes, we keep ammo at home, of course. what's a pistol worth without rounds?

Hahahaha

And I sure as hell loved it.

Lol

And I took part into moving the base from Windows XP to Linux based special purpose distro.

thats like from AK to AK74....

When I need to add some details to any of my tales, I will ask you guys!!

Sure.

You mean technical writing :p

No. I mean literature, tales. I write tales from time to time. And sometimes, guns play a part.

Haha, sure then

I never thought this could be the right place to ask for details on weapons and military stuff ?

Everywhere is the right place to ask

But especially in the Fedora tg group

I see, I see...

A perennial source of knowledge

We even stick to tech topics!

LMAO!!!!

Like Linux usage in military.

kill -9 has a special meaning to us

Wait, Fedora related topics are tech?

kill -9mm ....

Wow, my whole fedora life has been a lie

kill -9mm ....

alias "kill -7.62" = "kill -9" :P

Let's stick to a higher calibre

?

What do you think of the mp-15?

Nothing, I am used to two things. AK74 and 2A64. :)

Never used mp-15, only STGW-57 and P220....

Haha

I love Linus

:)

and them, mp-15 is semi-automatic, only. I prefer fully automatic...

How's the fire rate on the stgw-57?

Hahah, looks like I failed Troubleshooting 101:
