Full metal jacketed death, moving easily over a thousand feet per second, faster than the ear can comfortably hear. It positively exhales devastation like a hurricane blows water

[Baby Ricochet]

You usually heard the rounds flying past you before you heard the AK's popping. Less than a second apart but when it's your head exposed you noti

[Baby Ricochet]

You notice those little nuances

I meant firing the saw--rate of fire is so fast it's almost one solid roar.

[Baby Ricochet]

You had to fire the weapon in short controlled bursts other wise you'd damage it by over heating. It would jam before that though which they did do in the heat of the moment. Warping the barrel was the usual culprit. They had changeable barrels and the gunner always had a spare. Our guy on the saw was a 20 year old kid named Cody who was a little on the trigger happy side and easily embarrassed when we talked about sex and we talked about sex constantly. Cody survived his deployments same as I did
