[Felix The Assassin]

Wow, this has remained calm. Must be due to the fact it's in GD as opposed to CE.

Actually, the term 'assualt weapon' did not come into term until as the article pointed out, bill clinton era. So, with that said, there's really nuting else to discuss. Butt, since there are some folks on here that don't grasp it, I'll assist.

This plain Jane looking Remington 7400, is just that. Note, it's a semi-auto (OOH, it fires round after round just by pulling the trigger) caliber? 30.06 US. or 7.62mm X very large. (No direct reference)
This gun can drop anything in North America out to 500m, and smaller (human to deer) out to 750m.
Standard built in 5 round mag. Scope setting, and that's about all folks.


The SKS (OOH, an assualt weapon). Fires round after round with each trigger pull. Is wortless beyond 60m, and I would not place the life of a liberal on it at anything greater than 75m. But ohh, it's menacing looking. In all reality, it's a POS!
Notice that bayonet lug (ooh) What about that detachable magazine well? Notice those antiquated iron sights? Doesn't it just look SO evil? Caliber? 7.62mm x 39 'Russian'


Now, what if you really wanted it to look 'evil'?



It'a all about the hype folks. I'd glady give you my SKS if that's all you wanted. It's really a fun gun to shoot, and ammo is 'cheap', but... Now if you wanted my Remington or Seiko! You'd not manage that!


So sorry Ilander, but accuracy is not the strong point. Why else would it come with a 30rd magazine as standard issue?
