What sort of sniper uses an AK-47, anyway?

They're just that good. They have eyes like hawks, and can hit a target at a thousand yards by just staring down the sights. Scope? Scopes are for pussies, and every other sniper!

Hey, when you look like a pile of lawn clippings, you can easily sneak into assault rifle range.

I have a sneaking suspicion that I should feel insulted by that remark, but anyone who disses PBS is OK in my book!

Oh, dear! It appears I was being inflamatory with my PBS jokes. Drat, you'll just have to use the View Edits to see them now.

hm, that could result in a new game: guess the wookie in the squad.

solution: draw a religious caricature and wait who goes screaming in some awkward language and berzerk.

that said, those things look pretty nasty, don't want to be their target. not that you'd see a good sniper anyway, but ...

I actually like PBS.   My initial comment was aimed at our Iranian friends. I figured that a cheerful, "PBS-style" outro would be ironic, given that the photo was from a military parade.

and no, you shouldn't feel insluted by it. By "stupid people", i was refering to whoever thought forest camoflauge would work in the desert.

Yet another sentence to add to my "Never Under any Circumstances Email this to My Muslim Friends" list.

Best finnish sniper in ww2 didn't use a scope with 500 kills or something.  Enemy snipers would see the glint and kill you

AK47 isnt' all that accurate though.. or long range.
