WTF is wrong with some people?

12. I might add, the analogy actually works

Both the AR family and AK family of weapons were designed primarily for combat...so was the M-1 and M-14, as well as the ones designed by Springfield Arms going back to mid 19th century.

That any of them are used for hunting, sorry, primary design of these weapons was military, to be used by the line infantry in combat. And unless I missed my beat, deer are not joining the infantry, for that matter chimps. (They have a capable hand for that)

In fact, they all met military specs as to the size of the round, and even grain count. Once we understood cavitation, they also met military standards for both cavitation and tumbling. Hell, recent testing of the next infantry rifle includes extensive testing with ballistic gel and human analogues. (Read pigs)

What is funny is what you said about the police. The old venerable 38 was developed primarily for target shooting and adopted by police forces since it was cheap. These days they use side arms that once again were developed for military forces...meeting military specifications. These include the Beretta 9mm, originally developed for the Italian carabinieri, who wanted a gun with same ammo as the MP-5 SMG. Now it has been adopted by the Armed Services and multiple police forces.

The Glock family was developed for the German military again, under mail spec.

What boggles the mind is the insistence that these are just hunting weapons and never ever had a thing to do with the military, or that is just a coincidence...that is what boggles the mind.
