The scary thing is, journos are as clueless about *everything* as they are about guns.

What in the hell do they DO at Columbia for 4 years?

Cute. I'm going to post it.

Dude, that's not an M-16, it's a 223mm sniper rifle!

It's incomplete.
I don't see the AK-47 Super-Soaker there.

Jay G. says:

There's also no 38mm revolver.

What about the AK-47 version of the Star Trek Phasor. Or how about the AK-47 assault blaster that the smuggler Han Solo was so fond of.

Stan says:

Dude you're so wrong, those pistols are OBVIOUSLY Glocks, they're made out of materials that can pass through a metal detector and cost more than you make in a month.

PeterT says:

Stan,

You forgot the part where the Glocks fire teflon coated glass bullets that can penetrate tank armor at two miles!

That's damn handy. Is there a chart like this for bullets somewhere? You know, cop killer versus armor piercing?

This is perfect. Saw a horrible display of this in a National Geographic Explorer article a few months back. The author kept using AK-47 and SKS interchangeably and saying both were fully automatic assault rifles. He had a few other horrible gun errors which I can't remember at the moment. About all I can say is I nearly tore the magazine up.

The bottom right corner isn't an AK-47, its a WMD.

Robb Allen says:

Robert, I'm afraid with Kennedy's passing, that classification no longer holds true.

Robert says:

You are gonna have to add the Halo Sniper Rifle to the list...

"The reason for the police response to Bungie was a person on their way to a local farmers market spotting someone carrying an AK-47 near the studios"

Wasn't the AK-47 called an "Uzi" about 30 years ago? IIRC the name change was an effort at image improvement or some such.

DRUGS.

PDB, what they do for 4-years is listen to Marxist Professors lecture on the evils of Freedom and Liberty.

you should put some sort of ray gun in there.
