Hehe, well I only asked cause I know a lot of gamers never handled a real gun before. As for me, I've never shot the .223 before until last sunday; I've only shot .30-06, .300 win mag, .40S&W, .44 mag, 7.62X54 (mosin nagant), .357 and .38 special in a lever action, various 12 gauge from bird shot to slugs and a .50cal muzzle loader.

I had a 300 win mag. Got rid of it for a 7mm mag. It gave me a head ache every time I shot it. I have a 405 winchester that has a 300 grain bullet that kicks half as much as my 300 win. did. Hated that damn gun. My favorite rifle to play with is my Chinese AK. It is extremely comfortable and accurate up to about 250/300 yards. The rest of my guns are tools for killing game. I do have a M1 carbine, but it needs help. Receiver and barrel are in bad shape.

Anyway Chinese AK suck. Russian made are the best if you can land one. I think there is also a Slovic version that I hear isnt bad.

Oh I have one a 7mm Mag ! It's good for 1000 yards. Has a 18 x 50 mm scope. That is for hunting though. Ammo's is to expensive to rip off 300 rounds. The Government doesn't supply me with AmmoThe 7.62 x 39 ammo is cheap though. I had a Russian one with the milled receiver and didn't like it. Sold it. Wasn't as well balanced. The Chinese one has had couple thousand rounds shot through it and has never jammed. Keeping them clean is the trick.

With a good AK you shouldnt have to keep them to clean. They like a lil grime.
I came off wrong... no worries man
That's a tiny hole in your pantsjst happy to see me?

ACUs were very prone to ripping when you would kneel down on missions, especially with full body armor. I went through like 6 pairs of pants on both deployments cause of ripping
It's just habit. Mine is a Norinco MAK 90. Exactly like this one.

Remember your fighting with the equipment of the cheapest bidder.
Ive never been an AK fan. For combat style rifles I prefer the following
1. M14 (SOCOM or tanker version)
2. FN FAL
The .223 is a varmint round. I want something with punch. I've seen deer keep running after being nailed with a .223. Not something I would want to hit a man with armor on.

Still of my favorites, but now I dream of an HK-91. Oh Lawd, how I want one. I missed one 5 years ago that sold for $600 with 4 magazines! Piss, that's half price, or better. Brandon once gave me a link to Classic Arms, they make an inexpensive version, but it's out of production for now.
EDIT: Holy Cow, they have the CETMEs back for $500!! Too bad just bought a new family rig, instead.
