Attention! There has been an influx of scammer signups!

The method of operation is to private message you and tell you that you should contact such 'n such person at a given email address.

Please report the private messages. Staff will ban the offender, and I will implement an IP ban. Unfortunately these scammers are using VPN/proxy services, which may mean your VPN/proxy may be blocked.
Attention! About VPN's and foreign IP addresses.

When signing up, do so from a US based Internet Service Provider. Turn off any VPN/safe-browsing feature. Failure to do so will result with your new account denied.

If you run into a IP ban afterwards as a member, again - turn off your VPN or switch servers. We do not ban legit Internet Service Providers from the USA(exception for certain individual IP addresses). Free VPN's tend to get banned too. We try not to ban legit subscription VPN services, but they rarely label their IP blocks correctly.

If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.

AK 47 MG Question

Awhile back I was watching a TV program about the age old question of AK vs M16. They went into the design of each, rate of fire, cartridge size and what not. Being an engineer myself (don't know anything about full auto) my interest was peaked by the difference in rpm. Why does the ak shoot at 600 rpm vs the M16 at 800 rpm? They also mentioned some ak's have a rate reducer and some don't. What is the rpm with a rate reducer vs without. Does the M16 have a rate reducer?

My brother was in a rifle platoon in Vietnam. He told me that the M16 was so fast on full auto that carrying enough mags was a big problem and therefore was used on full auto only in certain situations. The fast M16 with a 20rd mag vs a slower ak with a 30rd mag. Seems the commies out thought us. Just wondering....thanks.
