The AK-47 was designed by a tank commander in &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;WWII&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and put in production in 1947. It was designed to replace the old 98&amp;#8217;s the Russians were using, and it was also meant to be easily produced, easily cleaned and very simple. The M-16 and the AK-47 were both meant to be used as a multi-purpose assault rifle for all occasions. The M-4 is far better at urban combat than the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AKM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;-47.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;m-16 better in urban than ak-47?? how so? last i checked with an ak you can kill on the other side of a brick wall without special ammo. m-16 nope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
as far as jamming about equal an ak can fire more rounds before having to be cleaned compared to an m-16 but aks will stove pipe jam for no real apparent reason it just happens not the highest quality gun but its easily fixed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;as far as the m14 goes its superior to both really. m14 = battle rifle&amp;#8212;&amp;#8212;- m16/ak47 = assault rifles not exactly a fair comparison&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;all the guns are great and far superior to the others under certain environmental or situational conditions. there is no easy way to say ones better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;however if i could only have one gun for a lifetime id pick the AK b/c it can go long periods without maintenance and still function normally in more adverse conditions than an m14 or m16&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are a fool. That is simple as that. The &lt;strong&gt;M-4&lt;/strong&gt; is the carbine version of the M-16, and is far superior in urban combat than either one. And you play to much Halo. Battle rifles are an obsolete technology. An assault rifle is the perfect hybrid of range and rounds a minute.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

im just wondering where you get m4? seems irrelevant to the topic you have not even demonstrated a reasoning behind your logic other than saying m4 carbine version and presto its better. why is it better in urban compared to the ak-47?</body>

&lt;p&gt;m-16 better in urban than ak-47?? how so? last i checked with an ak you can kill on the other side of a brick wall without special ammo. m-16 nope.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The AK-47 has a muzzle velocity of 715 m/s.  The M16 has a muzzle velocity of 975 m/s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
ok? the bullets a bit slower it still remains its not as frangible and has more ENERGY
7.62x39 = 1500 ft/lbs         AK-47,SKS

5.56x45 = 1300ft/lbs          M-16,M-4,AUG,C7,FAMAS,L85

7.62x51 = 2400ft/lbs          M-14,M-60,M240,G3A3,HK91,FNFAL

yea so it goes like this bigger bullets that do not break into tiny pieces can go through bricks and kill where as less powerful and smaller rounds cannot.

obviously the M-14 fires a superior round in terms of sheer power and range.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;as far as the m14 goes its superior to both really. m14 = battle rifle&#8212;&#8212;- m16/ak47 = assault rifles not exactly a fair comparison&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which is totally why the US Military replaced the M14 with M16&amp;#8217;s in 1970, right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
true but they are still used today mainly by special forces and or specialty squad roles. the M-14 has been steadily upgraded i believe the latest version being the Mark 14 Mod 0 Enhanced Battle Rifle (EBR) which was completed in 2003.
its not like the military just up and said bah these are useless heres your m-16. as i stated before its a whole different class of small arm. now last i checked battle rifles were more powerful weapons compared to assault rifles, and in that regard the the M-14 is vastly superior.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sadly I am a wuss and know little of guns&#8230;. I will say simply &#8220;Whatever Darkninja said&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following expert opinion can be a good thing, if you can figure out who the experts are.  Sadly, you&amp;#8217;ve chosen to listen to an idiot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
so this is what you have come down to. truly i thought you were better than this.</body>

The AK-47 was designed by a tank commander in &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;WWII&lt;/span&gt; and put in production in 1947. It was designed to replace the old 98&amp;#8217;s the Russians were using, and it was also meant to be easily produced, easily cleaned and very simple. The M-16 and the AK-47 were both meant to be used as a multi-purpose assault rifle for all occasions. The M-4 is far better at urban combat than the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AKM&lt;/span&gt;-47.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
m-16 better in urban than ak-47?? how so? last i checked with an ak you can kill on the other side of a brick wall without special ammo. m-16 nope.
as far as jamming about equal an ak can fire more rounds before having to be cleaned compared to an m-16 but aks will stove pipe jam for no real apparent reason it just happens not the highest quality gun but its easily fixed.

as far as the m14 goes its superior to both really. m14 = battle rifle----- m16/ak47 = assault rifles not exactly a fair comparison 

all the guns are great and far superior to the others under certain environmental or situational conditions. there is no easy way to say ones better. 

however if i could only have one gun for a lifetime id pick the AK b/c it can go long periods without maintenance and still function normally in more adverse conditions than an m14 or m16</body>

    <body>a little touchy there, aye darkruler.

Im not seeing how other religions could even be brought down by this. It seems to me that the &quot;fraud&quot; was in the pushy business practices and the questionable financial gain......last i checked most churches don't push their zealots to give money.the church just tells them its the right thing to do, and so they do. also im sure other religious organizations do not ask for the same amounts of money as scientology would.

So if you can show that say a cardinal payed his way up the ladder to pope while other members gained questionable amounts of money. you could use the scientology case to show that a fraud had been committed. otherwise this is pretty null to other religions.</body>

yes that was my idea and thank you. being an american and atheist im deeply upset about my encounters with the faithful in my area. i live in bible belt tennessee. i think taking off in god we trust and putting up in freedom we trust would upset a few but in time might instill some memory of what america is all about, freedom.  the people i see could definitely think less about god and more about tolerance and freedom.</body>

&lt;p&gt;It would be difficult to stop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yea. Maybe you could limit the overall supply.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
im just curious why do you want to limit overall supply? it seems its something you want to do often. id argue that you would actually create a black market and cause the price of the drug to sky rocket. plus limiting or &quot;banning&quot; doesnt work, has never worked, and will never work, ever.</body>

Whey would anyone care? Is this really something that matters to people?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
theres a greek goddess on the cali seal!?!??!?! BLASPHEMY and off with their heads.
 quite frankly yes it should be removed. the government should not endorse a religion of any kind. lets take for instance you love mcdonalds and the state seal incorporates an burger king logo is that right? its free advertising for religion which sounds like a government endorsement to me.



Will9831:
god is a relative term as well. my point is that using the word god can be alot more confusing than just using freedom.

what if we had a tradition that included sacrificing the first born of winter. is that something that should really matter to people?</body>

Whey would anyone care? Is this really something that matters to people?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;theres a greek goddess on the cali seal!?!??!?! &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;BLASPHEMY&lt;/span&gt; and off with their heads.&lt;br /&gt;
 quite frankly yes it should be removed. the government should not endorse a religion of any kind. lets take for instance you love mcdonalds and the state seal incorporates an burger king logo is that right? its free advertising for religion which sounds like a government endorsement to me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;interesting thought but wouldnt &amp;#8220;in &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;FREEDOM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; we trust&amp;#8221; be a 10 fold improvement&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can&amp;#8217;t really &amp;#8220;trust&amp;#8221; freedom, because it&amp;#8217;s not a person.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
so i guess you cant trust your senses either as they are not people ??</body>
