Ak-47 Self Destructing....what a dumbass

Yeah what an idiot for shooting a gun that is well known to have reliability problems and a pretty lengthly documented record of exploding...
 
i meant he was a dumbass in somehow managing to get an ak-47 to explode...well that and the look on his face from said explosion
 
Google Project Eldest Son. (or search here)

Makes for interesting reading although I imagine those kabooms sounded more like KABOOM......
 
Im in the middle of my first AK build and that video will be playing in my head the first time i shoot it. Any one in the Daytona beach area want to shoot an AK? :eek:
 
Nice signature line. Clearly Patton has no place in today's armed forces.

Er, uh, no thanks Oscar, thinkin' I'll stick with me trusty MK-12, 20mm twin cannons. A tad bit greater stopping power, and they don't explode!!:crazy_125

....I'll stick with me trusty MK-12, 20mm twin cannons...
Trusty?? Well, perhaps, but just don't pull too many 'Gs' w/ 'em ... :)

The Colt Mk 12 was derived from the French Hispano-Suiza HS.404 of WW2, which was derived from the ubiquitous Swiss Oerlikon 20 mm ... yadda, yadda ...

You, too, can be the proud owner of a fully operational, former P-38 Lightning 20 mm cannon for the bargain price of $25,000 + a @ $200 tax stamp !!! PLUS -- NO SALES TAX !!! Thank you, Idaho !!!

Of course, the rounds might set you back a bit ... :)
 
Zap!

No sweat, don't plan on honkin' 'Gs' for strafin'! Oh...you mean mano' a mano' air-to-air? Ted Swartz strongly recommends ZUNIs!!!:icon_kiss

MIG Killer...

On 1 May 1967, LCDR Ted Swartz VA-76, flying an A-4C from the "Bonnie Dick", found himself at the six o'clock position on a NVN MIG. Armed only w/ a 5" unguided ZUNI rocket pod, Swartz fired 3 separate rockets, of which one struck and downed the unlucky MIG, for the only Skyhawk MIG kill of the Vietnam war.:hot_anima

And thanks for the AW "lifetime achievement award", it was a tough struggle!:sing_125::sing_125:
