I want an AK-47!

LOL Steve told me on the way home that he thinks he best stick with getting me diamonds...then a scratch would be the worst I could ever do to him.

(Background for those that don't know...it was suggested that Steve should get me rifles instead of diamonds as they seemed to impress me more.)

I still think you should get a matching set! ;-)

I couldn't hold it up...you've got more upper body strength than I do! That was why the little .22 was fun...nothing to it.

Friends don't let friends buy AK47s, except as a toy after you've bought and mastered a series rifle. :)

Seriously, a Chinese AK47 costs $21 to build, using slave labor. The weapon was designed for an untrained, expendable military that used mass unaimed fire, and massed bodies, to get the job done.

The AR15 family, on the other hand, has evolved into a sophisticated, accurate system that can do almost anything with the right accessory attached. It's more delicate, but was designed for the professional soldier who expected to retire after 30 years in the service. It's more of a surgical instrument than a blunt object, and requires some respect, as all precision instruments do.

I have both an AR15 and a AK47S. The AK47S is a fun plinker, good for blasting cheap ammo. If I had to choose, the AK47 would be about the 4th or 5th choice for me among rifles if I needed one to survive.

Oh, and Steve says he prefers to buy you diamonds instead of rifles? What's his feeling about kitchen knives? :)
