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

[zpatman]

 

[statesman]

Yeah what an idiot for shooting a gun that is well known to have reliability problems and a pretty lengthly documented record of exploding...

 

[A4sForever]

Blessings and peace be upon you.

Allāhu Akbar, indeed ...

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?

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 ...

 

[BusyBee604]

Zap!

Trusty?? Well, perhaps, but just don't pull too many 'Gs' w/ 'em ...

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...

Story?

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:
