        Well hopefully its not that bad…

        …but yes, its the one thats been doing a whole lot of uncommanded discharges.

        I’m uncertain of the ‘precise’ cause of this, but basically it isn’t drop safe, and it appears to not even be ‘stored in certain kinds of holsters’ safe.

        Even worse, sometimes, it’ll go after… basically a random amount of time after its been jostled in the wrong way.

        At least that’s what I remember from when this was a whole big thing in guntube some months back.

    The Israelis had a similar joke with the Uzi, being open bolt and prone to the sear slipping if dropped (or thrown into a room with Palestinian children bad guys).

    No no no!! You don’t understand! The four-man stack of flesh as a battering ram pressed through a narrow openning has been around since cave-man days! Those cave men knew what’s up!

    Just … ignore the cave paintings of mammoths getting chased into ambushes. Different discipline, all that “hunting” stuff.
