NorfolkBoy Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I felt that was a pretty well balanced articled from the Beeb for a change, though why the need for comparisons to the American NRA and the AK47? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I think they do that to put it into "real terms" people who have no idea about guns can understand. Joe public in the street won't know about different rounds and things like that, but he will have seen some nutter in the middle east brandishing an AK on the news. On the whole a fair article considering all the bad press recently, I was pleasantly suprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 A "Swing" target rifle uses 7.62 NATO. (7.62X51) An AK47 uses 7.62 Russian (7.62X39) They are a different round altogether, but this reporter just had to put them into the same group in order to make them look as though they were both capable of being used by terrorists. It was still an unexpected article from the BBC though, because they normally try to make it look as though Bisley is a training camp for terrorist snipers G.M.
