Ak47 bullets travel in such a way that when they hit the body, they don't just go through you, the spin, back over front, thus making your meaty parts ground beef.
The images are truly terrifing if I wasnt on my phone and trying to sleep.
theres a reason that gun is so popular even today
...that reason being there are like a billion of them out there and they are pretty much immune to abuse.
that but the round also carries a lot of punch
i am basing this opinion on a documentary i watched about the worlds greatest weapons where they covered the AK-47 in detail and compared it to modern rifles
the nuts and bolts is like you said it's dependable as anything, the round carries more kinetic energy than most but the accuracy sucks compared to most
but yeah people don’t make 100 million of something unless it’s pretty good
The firearm death rate (per capita) according to Echo's link, is roughly 200 times higher there than here.
Thats... suboptimal.
10 times what it is in Sweden.
Which, really, tells me that it's flawed data because it's gathered in different ways from different countries.
There was an article a bit back about how Sweden, in statistics, has a whole lot more cases of rape than other European countries.
That's all about how the data is gathered. An abusive relationship of two people where one gets raped daily? 365 cases of rape in the statistics. Other countries may or may not count the same way.

to be fair, accuracy isn't a high priority for a significant subset of people who use AK-47s either

Whenever someone labels a ticket in our system as a "fire" (production stoppage..meaning it is affecting multiple people or entire departments) but then the content of the ticket is "Need Google Earth on my computer"
I lower the urgency to 1 and tell my coworkers to do anything other than that person until there is no other work left to do because fuck them.
The worst part is that it actually is probably a legit ticket. And I could probably fix it pretty quickly. But I can't do shit if I can't get the info I need from the user. Though I will admit some of this is due to sub par training for the first level guys who take the calls on exactly what questions to ask.

Ok, I went back to the code blog and some of the posts are good. This is what I want:
In episode 3 of series 2 of Airwolf, computer expert Dr. Karen Hanson has to deal with a “Logic Bomb” in Airwolf. This is first depicted by a screen full of hexadecimal numbers.
Subsequently she is seen listing with the LIST command an Apple BASIC program that produces a screen full of… random hexadecimal numbers.
Debugging note: notice that the screen of hexadecimal does not contain the digit F at any point. This is because the code used to generate the random hexadecimal contains a bug. The INT(RND(1) * 15) + 1 will produce an integer from 1 to 15 and can never output 16 and hence the F from the string A$ is never chosen.

it really isn't
when it was designed the idea was a bunch of soviet troops would spill out the back of an APC, hit full auto and spray a wall of lead at the target
that's what the gun was designed for, you don't need pin point accuracy for that

Blegh, I need to figure out a way to talk to the shy girl I have a crush on.
But I am also shy and super self-conscious and i have all these issues...
Step 1: Just talk to her.
Step 2: Oh no she wasn't looking at you and only caught the last two words.
Step 3: Oh no wait you opened with a joke and gave a little laugh NOW YOU HAVE TO DO THE JOKE AND THE LAUGH AGAIN.
Step 4: Quick, turn it into a cough and pretend you said nothing.
Step 5: She's not buying it. Run.
Step 6: Die alone.

You're thinking 5.56.
The AK47 fires 7.62, which generally doesn't tumble.
It has more to do with penetration if I understand things correctly. You just kind of fire and don't worry about being accurate.
Once you hit that caliber of weaponry people start getting a little chunky from time to time.

Well, according to CW shows, you guys should show up at the same place. Then you'll shuffle your feet at each other and kind of briefly look up shyly and smile once and awhile. You may say some awkward phrases and laugh. But then.. the moment comes when you finally make real eye contact. You'll stare deeply into each other's eyes and and immediately Imagine Dragons will start playing in the background. Then the camera will pan back as you start tearing each other's clothes off as the chorus reaches its height. RADIOACTIVE RADIOACTIVE.

7.62 is pretty scary in person, but not practical for a military since it's bigger, heavier, and you can carry less of it. Modern automatics were developed on the observation from WW2 that the winner of a given firefight was whoever could put more rounds in the general direction of the enemy, since pin-point shooting is out of the question in a big firefight and it's all about suppression mostly.
This has led to divergent ideas though, since the US's problem with firearms has been that they're unwilling to abandon marksmanship as a quality, but tighter tolerances mean it's way less forgiving of dirt and you know, the various things which happen in an actual war.

open your mouth and make noises at her
that is normally how talking works
The biggest secret to success is treating them like a person.
Because they are.
Introduce yourself, ask their name, ask about them, move on if it appears it's awkward. It helps to know a little bit about them before you do a cold introduction in a public setting though. Knowing their routine or likes/dislikes so you can suggest a thing to get to know them better, even as a friend.

How do you know that you have nothing in common if you've never talked to her? Heck, if those classes include electives and/or major requirements, then you've got some evidence that you're both interested in some of the same stuff.You have no grounds for that suspicion, dude. Just do itTM.

most modern rifle bullets are designed to tumble and fragment. this isn't just an AK-47 thing
then again it's not something that people should really wring their hands about because most gun crime in the US is committed with handguns
