  1. Yes but for any fully automatic you still need a Class III license, even for C&R.

    Full auto is stupid tactically anyway. I'm talking about the semi auto versions. You can currently purchase SKS under the curio and relics.

    And C&R also has some limitations and exclusions, it also adds a bunch of paperwork to ownership. It's real benifit is only for allowing you to receive a firearm directly shipped to you rather than having to pay for a local shop to receive it with their FFL then pick it up them. A number of firearms that qualify for C&R would be worth only 2-4 times the shipping and FFL transfer fees so it is a nice thing to have if you buy and sell often but not enough to justify a full FFL for yourself or business.

    In armored jägers we weren't allowed to use full auto, ever. Our rifle was RK-95, a quality boost upgrade of AK-47.
    I suppose it had something to do with full auto not being useful in situations you can likely survive. I suppose it also has to do with that any situation we were likely to end up in would have us pinned down by numerically superior enemy so it would make more sense to mostly drop enemies when you fire rather than try to suppress a larger enemy force and reveal your location.

    In the marines each lance had a gunner that had a SAW instead of a m16. They would be the one to lay heavy cover fire but even then they would never just go full auto, just 3 to 5 round bursts. Semi auto single shoot is far more accurate and deadly. So many hours of single and double tap shooting practice along with so many other drill like mag changing.

    burst fire all the way, just don't forget to grab ammo from anyone who falls... you may need it.

    My favorite guns related memory is having two RK-95's with the stocks folded, essentially dual wielding them without the stock and firing full auto. It would be very deadly up to 3 meters forward. Definitely need those ammo pickups, I'd prefer to have a designated ammo truck.

    Those estonian names are silly. Estonian is really close to finnish so it makes for funny situations. When finns compliment estonians "wow, this is really cheap", 'cheap' means "awful" in estonian. Etc.

    You do not know you work in IT until you look at something like this and get warm feelings inside for the tech who did it.

    I always feel sort of empty once I get something like that done. It is a reasonable effort and it is incredibly elegant, sure.

    But what's what really gets me interested is seeing how that thing blows up!

    I've always loved above all making stuff that makes OCD people go green and then blow them up.

    For this thing, I'd use a fire axe, every now and then between swings I'd use the hook on the other side to rip stuff apart. Whenever there's a chance to go berzerk I don't stop to ask, I just seize the moment.

    I suppose that is why I sort of disliked minecraft. There's nothing that gives me the true satisfaction of blowing everything apart and the sense of ripping stuff to pieces. It's a lot more boring than legos. At least you can use real explosives and fire and a hammer with legos.

    Majestic, but pray you never need to physically trace a pair. I hate zip ties. Too permanent. Too easy to damage solid core cable when removing them.

    You'd pretty much have to use a cable tester. If the tech was really on the ball, he labeled everything too.
