  I guess to drive a car, a few innocent people will have to die. It's not like everyone is going to give up driving.

  AK-47 is an iconic gun. Used the world over. I hope Santa brings me one for Christmas.

  Seems like everyone agrees about the advantages. Never wears out. Keeps working even under the care of poorly-trained soldiers or guerrilla fighters, and under the harshest of conditions.
  
  NATO assault rifles are supposed to be more effective when fired on full auto, due to the smaller rounds and recoil control. Assault rifles are supposed to be effective when fired on full auto. But full auto fire is mostly for large infantry engagements. There have been relatively few of those in post-WWII conflicts.

  I'm not sure that the most recent versions of the M-16 even have a full auto mode any more but instead do a three-round burst or a single shot. Full auto tends to be a serious ammo waster. Full auto could empty a 30 round clip in about three seconds.

  If he lived in Russia his whole life; I wonder if he ever got to make serious $$$ from his invention or if the gov kept it all?
