Making false assumptions

Haha, I remember making that poor assumption for Rambo (2008) way back when.

How do you mistake a P5 to a P38?

My bad, my mistake was assuming a P38 was a P1. I'm curious if that's what MPM meant, as that makes more sense.

Arghhh! See? GM45 is right. My bad typos, bad fingers bad fingers!!!! And it wasn't even MT2008 who corrected me. But seriously, I didn't want to pick on GM, but I felt I had to bring up an old example so that some of the other members didn't feel like I was targeting THEM only.

And to think, GM, no one would have remembered nor known that, until you reminded them! LOL

I'm gunna change it so that people don't think I'm completely retarded!

Well, I used to think all AKs are alike and I still have trouble telling the difference between some.

There's a difference between that and boldly claiming, "This is a AK-47, not a Chinese Type 56 because the freedom fighters historically used the original AK-47" when the pics show an obvious Chinese version.

Per my original post, I must clarify that in the early days of film, some armorers (NOT MOST) would try to fix their Chinese guns to look more Russian. I replaced a lot of my smooth sided foregrips with AKM forearms and even popped the .75" front sight off and temporarily replaced them (with roll pins) with the .5" AKM style front sights. When the AK74s were hot, I took a Type 84S and replaced the entire front sight end with the cut parts from an AK74. Back in the 1980s, the muzzle brake alone was over $100.00.

Are AK74s and blanks for them expensive?
