First of all, let's not curse excessively. It doesn't make you sound grown-up.

Anyway, coming from a guy who thinks we should still be arming our troops with .308 battle rifles, I find that comment to be rather...ironic.

[S&Wshooter]

When did I say that? The .308 is way too large for use in urban combat. It's more likely to kill rather than wound your target, but it's alot more heavy and expensive than the 5.56. Also, don't censor me. You are not the FCC and no one cares if I use a "bad" word.

We don't need to swear so unnecessarily. It's also usually a bad sign in topics like thi.s

Anyway, I forget...what do you like (since there doesn't seem to be a lot)?

[S&Wshooter]

Winchester, Browning, Smith & Wesson (duh), FN, AK type rifles (no Chinese made, please), RC Cola, coffee, Uzi's, Galil's, double barrel shotgun (not under/over though), M1911's, Colt rifles and revolvers, Sabaton(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rErIR...eature=related), deer hunting, video games, Ford, Levi's, Bates, Texas, Micheal Mann's movies and women. I'm picky, ain't I?

I meant in terms of military-style rifles, only.

Oh, yeah, and...

I own a Chinese-made AK, and I can state with confidence that mine is vastly superior to 99% of the AK clones sold in the U.S. today.

At the same time, while I am an AK aficionado, I also think the AR is an overall superior system.

I like both. As for Chinese AK's, I don't really trust Chinese made anything as a rule. I'd much rather have a Russian or East German AK, but that's not ever going to happen

Who knows, they could secretly be painting their AKs with lead paint, right?

I have no problem with you liking Russian AKs (the original) or East German MPi-K series (some of the first AKs to incorporate plastics).

But in the U.S., the Chinese Poly Tech AKs (especially the B-West) were some of the very best semi-auto AKs available to American consumers. I'll take mine over the current crop of clones any day.
