This write up is a fascinating work of fiction that is totally incorrect, from the standpoint of ballistic reality. Clearly the writer of this factually erroneous description has never owned a real gun in his life, but hopes to impress similarly unenlightened readers by baffling them with bullchit accumulated from playing video games and watching old war movies.

A pump action SHOTGUN unleashes a horrific flesh-mangling blast at point-blank ranges within 20 yards, BUT, those pellets only possess a MAXIMUM lethal range of 50 yards at best. Any target beyond 50 yards that is hit by shotgun pellets has a very good chance of escaping with small pellet wounds, and at ranges beyond 100 yards, shotgun pellets may not even retain sufficient energy to penetrate clothing. As a hunter who has used a pump action shotgun to down quarry ranging from fast-flying birds to sprinting deer, I happen to know what I am talking about, from personal experience over many, many years.

A rifle projectile, on the other hand, is capable of blasting gaping holes in flesh, and shattering bone, all the way out to 1 kilometer downrange, depending on the caliber of the projectile fired. The venerable AK47, chambered with the 7.62x39mm cartridge, is a devastating weapon capable of precision fire out to ranges in the region of 80 yards, beyond which accuracy drops off significantly, unless of course the rifle is fitted with a telescopic sight that improves accuracy, such that 200 yard shots can be attempted by steady-handed shooters. My .308 caliber deer rifle, fitted with a high magnification telescopic sight, will make clean deer kills well out beyond 350 yards, when fired from a stable resting position.

Having thoroughly tested the accuracy of an AK47 rifle at the firing range where many crates of ammo were expended at paper targets, I can lay claim to a very deep familiarity with the AK, going beyond mere shooting, and into the realm of complete disassembly and reassembly, which I perform blindfolded with ease, meaning that my observations about this weapon ALSO derive from EXTENSIVE hands-on experience, and not wild, uninformed speculation.

Before taking to the internet to make outlandish claims about subjects one does not truly understand, it would be prudent to bear in mind that not everyone in the targeted audience is guaranteed to be as profoundly ignorant as the pontificating writer.

Where in Nigeria can one acquire this machine legally.

GBTYO:
The law states you can only own a licenced double barrel shotgun.

The firearm is restricted to cartridge shells only and not buck shots.

It is not to be carried in public and is restricted to hunting and home defense.

Pistols, semi automatic and full automatic rifles are completely haram.

Dane guns firing shells are allowed since you don't stand a chance in hell with that crap.

But that doesn't stop the fulanis from getting Ak-47 assault rifles.

papaejima1:


Clap clap.
Rambo talking.
I love the assembly and disassembly blindfolded part.

planetx:
Only someone that doesn't know the amount of damage done in a country like the US where almost every Tom dick and harry owns a gun will be advocating that sort of madness in Nigeria. I see people exchanging hot words on the streets of Lagos on a daily basis and you want to put firearms in that equation ? All we need is to empower the police and make them effective, American gun culture is nothing to emulate.

It's illegal to own a pump.

I will prefer buck shots fired from this monster

azpekuliar:


Madam abeg comot for road if U no get wetin to talk. People who come to Nairaland with very serious issues deserve better than all these clowns who rush to the front page with asnine comments just to garner likes.

How do fulani headers carry Ak 47 all over the country

That's all you know: fun, as evidenced by your writing skills (or lack thereof). A little knowledge doesn't hurt. Good job Jakumo!

vickylala239:


Okkk.....Wat is d knowledge u Hv gained so far abt guns...
Tell us..

JuanDeDios:

Add to that the fact that we have no effective police to monitor the firearms. Our police don't even know what fingerprints are. If kill someone in street A, all you have to do is to leave street A and you're free. The police will invade street A and arrest anyone they see. And that is it.

Not everybody be coward like una

I think you should take a break from NL and read up some gossip on Linda Ikeji's blog. That's where your ilk are.

I am also done writing exams and have been for years now. I am already enjoying the fruits of my labor and deserve to be allowed the means to protect it when the need arises.

After being accosted by hoodlums while driving back home with my side glass wound down in traffic, I have been looking into acquiring non lethal weapons for purposes of self-defence e.g pepper spray, tasers etc.. This post naturally catches my interest because I not only intend to take up shooting as a hobby when outside these shores, but would also want a firearm for self-defence.

vickylala239:



And u beliv ur pepper spray will do d wrk in Nigeria......

Hw does it connect to a kind of gun Wich is Nt legal in Nigeria?

how will pepper spray help in traffic,Cuz hoodlums cuts in number ,Hw mny will u spray before traffic finally release u....

If u intend to take shooting as ur hobby outside diz shores,den learn abt it outside d shores....

Cuz I see no reason Why illegal equipment, shuld b ur area of interest

azpekuliar:


Is the direction of the thread lost on you? There is a procedure for acquiring a firearm legally for self-defense.

kaeforum:
This is Nigeria not America, the only thing you are entitled to is cutlass.
