In the vernacular, the difference between a rife round and a pistol round.My trauma docs loved us when we managed to find that out. It did determine some of the care and x-rays...all to do with pen value and cavitation potential. The .223 is among the worst...the AK round is actually worst than the .223So yes, it does matter.Here is how they were called in Mexico, due do the looks, Cuervo de Chivo, ram's horn.Incidentally, they also wanted to know the details in a car crash, photos were even better. It's called mechanism of injury.That is the real world reality check.En route I wanted to know as well...things like how fast they travel, effective and potential ranges, were like essential to deploy my people.

What you are missing is that there were two weapons involved.View profileRifles come with pistol grips, especially this family of assault weapons.This matters to the detectives right now. If, for the sake of argument, the kid died from a fully automatic AK...it will add decades to the sentence since those are illegal. If this was a semi type, civilian model... Well it s still murder (and it is in the family that should be banned)The round is the same though.Of course...they need to find it first, and this ain't a movie script.It sounds like...a gang hit.
Response to nadinbrzezinski (Reply #22)Sun Dec 30, 2012, 12:20 AMfarminator3000 (598 posts)30. those are two different links, by the way. slow down.View profileand obviously that isn't the ACTUAL gun used in the picture.yep.from the linkThe two gunmen opened fire around 12:30 a.m. as Granville was headed for home, according to the witness. The second shooter was armed with a .45-caliber pistol, and the two masked men began spraying gunfire on Beach 15th St. near Heyson Road.maybe they both shot him. what difference does that make?from the OP, end of article. did you make it past the picture? did you even click the link?Police in Queens found AK-47 assault rifle shell casings as well as evidence a .45 pistol was used during the gunfire. No arrests have yet been made in the teen’s murder.
Response to farminator3000 (Original post)Sat Dec 29, 2012, 11:41 PMnadinbrzezinski (114,275 posts)12. No, an AK is not a pistolView profileIt came out in 1947... Why the 47.It is an assault rife and fires rife ammunition, known as Warsaw Pact ammo.It is slightly smaller than the .223... But not by much.It is still the most popular riffle in the developing world and you can find it at markets all over Africa, as well as emblazoned in a few national flags.It was designed with very lose tolerances and yes, you can put it in a pool of mud, shake it and it will fire.In recent years, irony alert, the sks, a licensed semi auto copy of it, and the Saiga, a civilian version of this, have become very popular in the US. Ironic, since this is what we faced throughout the Cold War. If we have an executive order forbidding the importation of assault rifles, it will be a very real blow to the Russian Weapons industry. We are the main market these days.

Response to nadinbrzezinski (Reply #21)Sun Dec 30, 2012, 12:12 AMStar Member Kaleva (10,950 posts)27. The SKS preceded the AK-47 so it couldn't be a licensed copy of the AK-47...View profileis all I'm saying.

Good God she is an idiot.It takes a half second to find out a SKS is an entirely different gun yet she won`t do it.
http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/us_politics/2012/12/obama_hikes_pay_select_officialsYou will note that Nads was just a lowly EMT. Ten years and she never even attempted to make ranks of paramedic - a paramedic of course having rank over a lowly EMT. A paramedic being the one who would have the position to "deploy my people." A paramedic being qualified to triage victims of serious car accidents and "shootouts." You know what happens when there is a 911 call involving a serious life threatening medical issue, and the only staff available are EMTs? They call for mutual support from neighboring community for paramedics.Ah Nads, I wish I didn't know the shit I do. Now I ask you - how did she lose for 2012 DOTY?? It just isn't possible.
It is slightly smaller than the .223... But not by much.
I don't know how true this is, but just last week my uncle, whose wife is an ER nurse, told me that around here the EMTs drive the ambulance and the paramedics work on the patient.As for nadin's post, I've never heard any of the medical people around here, from EMTs to physicians, refer to people they work on as customers.
Partially true. A Paramedic is only as strong as the EMT (Basic) you work with. Sometimes I go so caught up in advanced procedures, I missed something basic that my EMT partner caught. Some calls were basic enough for them to take. Helped keep their skills up.All the trauma docs I knew wanted to know caliber and handgun/rifle for GSWs, and appriximate MPH of car involved for MVA. Pictures were an added bonus, but we were more concerned about triaging and treating that all the extraneous stuff. BTW, I would NEVER call the people I cared for (or whose heart rates I now watch) customers. They are patients.
It is an assault rife and fires rife ammunition, known as Warsaw Pact ammo.It is slightly smaller than the .223... But not by much.It is still the most popular riffle
Going out maybe on a bit of a limb here but the visual difference of a wound in a human caused by a .22 short and a .22 long if they are both solid points is probably nil.A hot,hollow point .22 long riffle round will probably be different but have no idea if any or all .22 caliber handguns will accept the round.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
In what up is down, down is up, water is dry world is a 7.62 x 39 round "slightly smaller" than a 5.56/.223 round?
