#2 Yup, yup.....
Just more Black Christian Children laying face down in the sand.

If I go to Sudan, I will bring an AK-47 and show the world how to deal with that government - after ALL of them are dead.
I AM putting a hit on you there in Sudan. This is the most disgraceful thing on this planet at THIS TIME.

The last time, it was easier to throw the hands up and drown the whole world.

This time will be a good time to take specific advantage of targeting the evil.

I will not forgive what you have done in Sudan - YOU MUSLIMS.

Muslims are what currently destroy Africa. And muslims will not be around at all in a few decades.

#3 AK-47? No way. Fight American. Use M16s.

#4 Fight American. Use M16s.

Fight to win, shoot to kill. Use the M24

#5 While the M-16 is a superior weapon, I suspect that AK-47 ammo and parts will be easier for the locals to obtain. Local familiarity is a plus for arming locals.

IIRC, that's why we let the Iraquis keep the AK-47s when they re-created the IA.

NS, wrt the M24 link, it was obvious it was written by a non-shooter who was (mis)quoting from several sources.

The description of the 1:24 rifiling twist made me think of some "water goat" (from hydraulic ram!-ed.) translations of technical publications that I have encountered in the past.

#6 Maybe I should upgrade to my cal .50?

#7 Unless there were a political consensus to allow the military to exterminate the janjaweed militia and to take down the Muslim government hard, we should stay far away. Unless you are willing to take sides in what is, for all intents and purposes, a war, then you are just putting American troops in harm's way for domestic feel-good politics.

#8 M-16's are overly fragile pieces of junk. The .223 round is great for varmint shooting, but a miserable choice for killing enemy combatants. Almost anything in .308 Win/NATO is dramatically better.

The .50 is great for taking out vehicles and the odd sniper shot against "soft targerts" at long range, but you would not want to shoot it too many times. It's a bitch.

Closedanger, I doubt that you've ever shot a Red Rider BB gun, let alone something that makes noise. Weiner.
