I don't like 7.62 that much. .
"This is the AK-47. Preferred weapon of your enemies. It makes a distinctive sound when fired at you."
From personal experience, I can vouch for that. There was a HUGE difference in the sound made by an AK when compared to the sounds made by M-16's ...many of us carried AK-57's as back-up weapons for use in places where an M-16 would tell the enemy we were in their back yard...

There's something about the smell of cordite that gets the juices flowing...
(yes I know...they no longer use cordite in ammunition, nor is it even made AFAIK, but lots of the military ammunition used in Vietnam was old enough to still contain cordite)
I love the smell of napalm in the morning...It smells like VICTORY!
I used to hunt every year before we moved to Kahleeforneeya. There are just too dammed many idiots running around the hills with "guns" and shooting at just about anything that moves....For several years, we used to go shooting at a make-shift range near Lake Don Pedro, just to keep in practice and teach the kids how to shoot, as well as proper gun safety, but the BLM closed the area to shooting in the early 90's and there are no more open shooting areas near by.
My wife and I have been talking about selling off the last of the rifles. Most were her dad's, used for many years to make meat every year...Since they never get used, it's getting to be a PITA to clean and oil them every year...but I certainly don't want to see them rust away, so I do it on a set schedule.
