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.
