How many rounds can an AK fire before it breaks down?

Via commander_zero

 

Ron from the Las Vegas gun range Battlefield Vegas, where, like many Vegas range’s they only allow their rental guns to be used,  shared some thoughts on how different AK rifles fail after tens after thousands of rounds (the above photo shows 30 days worth of 7.62x39mm steel shot at their range, of which 80% would have been fired by AKs). Ron writes at AR15.com …
 
– The one thing I can say about the AK’s is that they hold up MUCH BETTER than the RPD’s. I thought for sure that RPD’s would last so much longer because of the milled receivers but the receivers only last about half the life (if that) of a Romanian WASR.

 – Every single stamped receiver has suffered from a cracked trunion. This includes Saiga, Arsenal (Bulgarian), Norinco (Chinese), Arsenal (Russian stamped), WASR, Hungarian, Polish (vintage kits), Yugo (vintage and PAP-series) and new Polish (from Royal Tiger imports).

 – We have every type of AK available to shoot except for Cuban, Vietnamese or North Korean.
 
 – US (Century), Bulgarian and Chinese milled receivers have yet to fail.

Labor Day 2015: 93.7 million American adults aren’t working & aren’t trying

Via avordvet

 

Besides the officially “unemployed,” 93 million other Americans aren’t working and aren’t looking for jobs
 
If it seems like you’re running into more people who aren’t working and don’t appear to be trying to find jobs…it’s not your imagination.

According to the U.S. government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, the labor participation rate has hit 62.6 percent. That’s the worst in 38 years, since the dog days of 1977. The “labor participation rate” measures the percentage of people age 16 or older who are working or actively looking for a job.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat - 13 Miles, Supercharged 6.2/707 HP

 

Once upon a time, any 200 MPH car powered by a blown Hemi engine had a single, rudimentary aluminum seat, a roll cage and a parachute, and was designed only to go in a straight line. Not so today, thanks to the Street and Racing Technology team at Chrysler-Fiat, who doubled down on their third generation Dodge Challenger to produce the Hellcat, a supercharged 707 HP bomb that the company claims is the fastest, most powerful muscle car ever.

The Hellcat backs up that claim with some astonishing numbers: zero to 60 in 3.5 launch-controlled seconds, a quarter mile time of 11.2 on factory tires and a top speed of 200 MPH.

WATCH: The End Of America: “We Are All Witnessing The Death Of A Country”

Via Skynet

With Europe’s immigrant crisis coming to a head and similar events having played out in the United States last summer, it should be clear that what’s happening is an orchestrated detonation of First World nations.

A new must-see micro documentary from Future Money Trends highlights the insane policies behind the mass migrations and how, as millions of undocumented illegal aliens enter our country through the southern border, we are seeing the very death of a once great nation right before our eyes.

Trump BLASTS #BlackLivesMatter – Says Democrats Who Support Them “Are Not Fit to Run for Office” (VIDEO)

Via Billy

“I think they’re trouble. I think they’re looking for trouble. I looked at a couple of the people who were interviewed from the group. I saw them with hate coming down the street last week talking about cops and police and what should be done to them. I think that it’s a disgrace that they’re getting away with it. I think it’s disgraceful how they are being catered to by the Democrats.

Via Billy

 

(Common sense will get you nowhere these days.)

 

New Zealand First political leader Winston Peters suggested his country accept only women and children refugees from Syria and send the men back to fight ISIS.
 

Peters said if New Zealand was going to fight for their freedom then some of the men ought to go back home and fight for their own country’s freedom too.

Black Man Suffers Another Racist Beating & The Rest Of The Story

Via comment by Sioux on Police: 'Anarchists' (Useful Fools) beat Air Force...

 

Another black man is the victim of another racist beating — for no reason whatsoever. Or so the media would have us believe.

This time in Oakland. And we know that because of what the CBS affiliate called an “unprovoked violent beatdown” was witnessed by one of the world’s top authorities on black victimization, Dr. Zoe Marks.      

And she is spreading this story around the globe.

The violent encounter happened last Thursday. CBS news in San Francisco started the tsunami of coverage by calling for the arrest of the security guard who administered the beating on a black man who was doing nothing more than just trying to buy a few groceries.

Soon hundreds of news sites around the world picked up the story:

The 5 Awkward Questions They Won’t Answer About The Drowned Boy, Syria And Our ‘Moral Duty’

Via comment by Quartermain  on Merkel finally admits that pseudo-refugees will ch...

 

1. What’s the truth behind the story of the drowned boy Aylan Kurdi?

There’s just so much that doesn’t add up. Starting with the fact that the boy’s name is actually Alan Shenu. His father Abdullah claims he and his family were fleeing the fighting in his ‘home town’ Kobani.

Yet according to the Guardian they have been living in Turkey for three years – long before the fighting in Kobani started or indeed ISIS really existed – and before that in Damascus.

In Turkey, their rent appears to have been paid for by a sister in Canada and they had over $4,400 in cash so they were in no immediate danger. Abdullah’s accounts of his motives, of his intentions and what actually happened are wildly inconsistent. In some versions he was heading for Sweden.

The Phoney Refugee Crisis

Via comment by Quartermain  on Merkel finally admits that pseudo-refugees will ch...

A wave of brutal emotion suddenly submerged the populations of the NATO countries. 

People suddenly realised the drama of the refugees in the Mediterranean – a tragedy that has been going on for years to their complete indifference.

This change of attitude is due to the publication of a photograph showing a drowned child washed up on a Turkish beach. It doesn’t matter that this photo is staged – the sea washes up bodies parallel to the waves, never perpendicular. It doesn’t matter that in less than two days, it was instantly reproduced on the front pages of almost all the newspapers in the NATO zone You have already been advised that the Western Press is free and pluralist.

Continuing in the same vein, television channels multiplied reports on the exodus of thousands of Syrians who were crossing the Balkans on foot. Particular attention was given to the crossing of Hungary, which first of all built a completely pointless barbed-wire fence, then made a number of contradictory decisions which allowed the filming of crowds walking along the railway lines and mobbing their way onto trains.
