I would not like to be on the receiving end of any gun. No Thanks
Yeah, but with just about any other machine gun you can be pretty confident if you're inside a tank. That sucker, on the other hand, will punch right through one.

Here we go:



Sorry its a bit blurred it was done in a rush will post better ones in a few but this is the A-10 shell on the left, in the middle is a bog standard machine gun round and note to the right is the shell of the AK47S above.




To give a look on size i placed the A-10 round next to my foot, and its bigger than my foot.

Im a size 10 wich is about 29cm long i think my foot.

But there you have it.

Heres another two using a pepsi bottle to show how big the shell realy is, the bottle is the 1.5litre version so not the biggest one they do but certainly big enough.



A clearer picture than the one before showing just how big these rounds realy are.

Left the green shell is the one from the A-10
Middle is a round from a machine gun
Right is the round from the AK47S and is a standard 7.62





Here that A-10 shell is again note the Hunt for red october DVD Case is the smallest item there, followed by the AK47 magasine and then the round itself.

The pepsi bottle is only around 3 inches taller !

@ Kaptain,
I take it that you have the relevent FAC ticket for the AK, or is it a replica?
The old bill generally takes a fairly dimm view of that kind of hardware...
There's even talk of requiring air rifles to have a license ...pft stupid country.

Look at the size of that thing!

Talk about poisoning the enviroment, you go duck hunting with that thing, hit an H5N1-carrying target, the duck explodes into a cloud of bloody vapour, the depleted Uranium mutates the virus and infects everything within a 50 yard radius, bird, man, plant, earth, anything.

The AK in the pictures is acctualy real, if i adapted it it can become live firing how ever British law prevents me from doing that.

My ticket aknowlages that this weapon is a deactivated fire arm which the inside is but the barrel of the weapon is not plugged so i can buy a re-activation kit and have that weapon firing again.

I bought the AK for conversion this is of around £25-£30 when i was in Macedonia, ive had it for a while now.

The reactivation kit costs around £120 roughly and i can buy that from the check rep. (easier said than done)

In all i have no plans to re activate the weapon, i have no need to seeing as ive got a very powerful and accurate air rifle that can do the job just as well.

Among other weapons i have also.

If you walked into a bank with that AK you may get a few looks.
