I can't imagine why you would want to. After the round got done with the flesh of the animal, there wouldn't be much to butcher. The rounds are designed to start tumbling and bounce of bone to cause as much damage as possible internally. Not a pretty sight. But yeah...they are super accurate and reliable. I almost bought an AKS, which is the paratroopers version with the foldable stock back when I was in the Army. Beautiful rifle...the AK's were definitely a work of art. 7.62 is a pretty big round though for hunting. The 5.56 (almost identical to a .22) is smaller but just not designed for hunting as it also tumbles and bounces off bone causing all sorts of damage. I dont know if you could use a more appropriate bullet in them...not sure if that is possible. I suppose you could probably machine it to use different ammo...
I am not familiar with civilian ammo, so I dont know if that would relate with common ammo used in hunting...I just don't see it, other than someone doing to say that people hunt with them. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Munn [mailto:cfmuns...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, July 12, 2010 1:29 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Daily Kos: Why liberals should love the Second Amendment On Sun, Jul 11, 2010 at 9:23 PM, Eric Roberts <ow...@threeravensconsulting.com> wrote: > > I think something is going to happen as a result of the nonsensical complete > resistance to every bit of gun control...there is absolutely no compromise. > Like with the assault gun ban...the NRA advertised it as the government > taking away your hunting rifles.

From what I see, apparently there are people who hunt with these guns. Take the AK47. It's cheap, extremely reliable in all conditions, and accurate up to 100 yards. In single shot mode it sounds like a good hunting gun to me. > I just think that eventually law enforcement and other groups are going to > finally push for something that will ban guns completely. The only way to ban guns would be through a Constitutional amendment. The Supreme Court has just made that very clear. There is no way to get a gun ban amendment through Congress, let alone the states, so it's pointless to even discuss i ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:322871 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
