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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
