shall we build another?

seriously, do mods need to get involved? being explicitly hostile for literally no fucking reason, you are.

The real issue with the 762 is sprawl. That's why it's accuracy falls off after a couple hundred meters.

Shall we chill and listen to this great song of peace?

The AK was intended as a tanker rifle so it makes sense

The original AK was cursed with complexity

It was a great weapon. resilient and reliable, even if it wasnt accurate.

After some factory reworking it got cheaper.

It's a tack driver within 200 meters

Like every rifle

but you're right, in your previous statement. In close combat it doesn't matter

which most engagements were... especially in Nam

Mosin could be a tack driver but it was 762x54. Absolute crap action but a really nice trigger.

It's recoil is nice because the round was underpowered

So if you're gun shy i recommend it to break in.

and also ubiquitous

Kick is not an issue really if you are shouldering properly. I taught a roomate (90 lb female) to shoot with the Mossberg I jjust covered the fundamentals before feeding live rounds.

A gun I have not shot... I would love to though

Are you in the US

I hear they are fun and easy to use

Yes

They can be

You can rent a gun at a range and they'll teach you the basics and essential safety to handle a firearm

Oh, I am a seasoned gun owner, just have never shot a Mossberg

Not an open-air range close enough to me

Ah gotcha

all the close ones are indoors and that sound reverb gets old fast

Yeah, I prefer the mountains

which are plentiful in my parts

friend lives up on a mountain, and he concurs with that

crazy fuck actually got a 50 cal rifle and shot an explosive round into a hill

I dunno about living up there, but it's great for shooting.

said hill is now a pond

Mountains give sight advantage for idiots not paying attention

well, it wasn't a hill, more of a mound

also, you need not worry about killing anyone or anything you didn't intend to shooting at a hill/mountain

Yeah I got a model 500 I picked up years ago for general self-defense. The roomate worked nights and I work days so I took her for a couple of range days because I knew she would be home alone.

Nice way to empower her
