That round is used in a lot of guns though. I see what your saying The AK holds the majority of kills.

The angles as well as the material used to "coat" the outside. It absorbs most of the radar. Making a jet look like a flock of birds.

yeah I believe it was the History channel or something, they were saying the AK is responsible for more deaths then any other gun.

The angles deflect the originating radar waves to another direction along with the Top Secret radar observing paint it can reduce the footprint to the size of a bird on a radar.
The stealth bomber works a different way. While it still makes a low radar/heat footprint.
Not all stealth technology works the same. The stealth bomber knows the effective range of active radar so it moves around those holes.

I won't say ALOT because the actual caliber and size is the 7.62MM X 39. even though it fits the pre-ak-47, the SKS, the AK-47 was specially built around that round. The most common weapons that use this round are the SKS, AK, AKS, AKM series rifles.

awsome gun

that H&K is amazing. That is one rifle that can be fired upside down in water...and keep on going. Normally bad things can happen! That one weapon that can go trough hell and back.
The M-4 can tend to piss you off at times, but with so many options it is pretty nice. You just have to constantly clean it.
I myself want to get an MP-5.

i'd have to go with the arpanet/internet
and possibly
radar, which has seen many applications and derivations since its invention

correction to my last post. I got confused with this the new HK-416
Think of it as the M4 on steroids! I just saw the discovery channel did a thing on it. Found it on youtube.

Now you have it down to a specific size. 7.62 is kinda generic. The springfield uses a 7.62 but a x30.06. Thats why I was saying a lot. There are sooo many springfields and were used in some long wars and were issued for a long time. I was just getting at the caliber of 7.62 is a popular caliber and used by most countrys at one time or another.

Greatest or Worst military achievement...depending on how you see it. So simple and reliable anybody can copy it. And they do.

Best and worst. Even Kalashnikov regrets that he designed it now, given what it has become.
