Re: Fishing in Afghanistan - RPG Style

We did an experiment once,trying to find out which type of gun produces the most fish.
The experiment started with throwing a piece of bread in the water of a pond in a mountain stream.We stood about 20 feet above the water.
We used an M16,an AK47 and an Uzi.
The AK 47 won hands down,the M16 was second and the Uzi was a distant third.
The impact of the bullet on the water creates a shock wave that stuns the fish
There are two important factors in this game.First is the caliber and second is velocity.
The russian bullet is roughly a 7.65 mm with a 1100 yards per second speed.
The M16 has a 5.56 mm but it is faster.
The Uzi is 9 mm but you can almost catch it with your hand as the bullet leaves the barrel.

I'll have to take my SKS with me to Seneca. First I'll have to come up with a good story for the Sheriff.
What about an 8mm Mauser? Hmmm...

Re: Fishing in Afghanistan - RPG Style

I owned one of those things, I ordered 1000 rounds of ammo for it and set out behind the camp to shoot up some stuff. It was still in its original ammo belt for the soldiers who would have worn it.

I shot 4 rounds and my arm was numb. I threw the remaining ammo back in the box and went home.

Which one? SKS? Mauser? M16? Uzi? AK-47?
