That means that in a panic, a relatively untrained operator will push the safety all the way to the second firing mode which is semi automatic. <BR/><BR/>OTH, you barely have to clean the AK, and the M16 has to be cleaned constantly...too many parts.initials CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676097755038091712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752024279607773479.post-266039761654940492009-02-26T20:04:00.000-05:002009-02-26T20:04:00.000-05:00A gentleman isn't automatically a pacifist.

And police officers and soldiers need certain tools to do their jobs. Appreciation of good tools is a noble thing.<BR/><BR/>I look at it this way, some aspects of life are unpleasant. Being a gentleman isn't about avoiding them. It's about handling them with grace. Sure, it's about gentility, but it's about manliness too.John Patrick Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184882727993226321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752024279607773479.post-6394139144216964192009-02-26T12:30:00.000-05:002009-02-26T12:30:00.000-05:00Weapons, no matter how well crafted, are still mea...Weapons, no matter how well crafted, are still means to cause harm to others, to kill. They enable bullying and unchecked cruelty. A true gentleman does not need force to express himself. I'd expect this from our brother, but not from you.<BR/>-Kid SisterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
