The white goopy part of standard bird droppings is the bird equivalent of urine. Birds convert urea into a white insoluble solid, due to the impracticalities of urinating during flight. I think that's right anyway.... Also: 1 = 1 + 0

The AK47 is, in fact, a fairly rare weapon. The AKM, on the other hand, is very common.

It seems to me that these little-known facts have an unnerving tendency to be false.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;18391637][url]http://www-wds.worldbank.org/servlet/WDSContentServer/WDSP/IB/2007/04/13/000016406_20070413145045/Rendered/PDF/wps4202.pdf[/url][/QUOTE] That paper uses AK47 for AK47s and pretty much all other 7.62x39 variants of it, excluding the more radical redesigns like the Valmet and Galil. The only thing it states is that 75% of all AK pattern rifles are chambered for 7.62x39 and not 5.45 or 5.56. [editline]11:19PM[/editline] How do I know? Cause a good half of "AK47"s are made in China and are in fact AKMs with fixed bayonets and hooded front sights. [editline]11:19PM[/editline] Called Type 56s.

An AK47 is a Soviet manufacture assault rifle chambered for 7.62x39 Soviet. It features a milled receiver, smooth wooden furniture and a smooth dust cover, a open front sight and a detachable bayonet (A lot more, but this is the stuff i will use to inform you of the difference). An AKM is a Soviet and Russian manufacture assault rifle, chambered for 7.62x39 Soviet. It mainly (said due to varieties from factories and stuff) features a stamped receiver, Bakelite grips and a bulged front handguard and a ribbed dust cover, a rate of fire limiter, a open front sight and a detachable bayonet. A Type 56 is a Chinese manufacture assault rifle, chambered for 7.62x39 Soviet. It features a stamped reciever, a rate of fire limiter, smooth wooden furniture and a smooth dust cover, a closed front sight and a fixed bayonet. The AK47 was produced from 1948 to 195-. The AKM is produced from 195- to now. The Type 56 is produced from 1956 to now. All of the three above are in your little report thingy on guns. The AK74 is a 5.45x39 Soviet assault rifle, produced in the Soviet Union and The Russian Federation. It features all the same things as the AKM, plus a large muzzle brake. It is not included in your little report thingy on guns. The AK47 is (relatively) rare. The AKM is common as shit. The Type 56 is common as shit. The AK74 is common as shit.
