You are saying that the effective range is 3.6km?! The M4 hasn't got an effective range of even 1km, which is why I asked if you know what you are saying?! In a previous life, I was in the military, so I should know a bit of this really. I'm guessing that after a few years of my exit, weapon systems designed for an effective range of 500m have automatically acquired an effective range of 3.6km? I'm not very conversant with the American military weapon systems, but I know damn well that the bog-standard military rifle has an effective range of no more than 500m.
An AR 15 doesn't have a 3.6km effective range. I would say about 700 meters but that depends on the grains used in the caliber. That changes the velocity and ballistics. Most ammo vendors provide such info on their website. I have friends that have consistently hit targets at 800 meters with an AR 15.

Then there is the .338 Lapua's which goes about 1500 meters and a .50 calibre which goes over a mile. There is a new calibre that can hit close to 2 miles. As technology improves, so does killing machines

Lies!!! Ak 47 effective range is 200m, maximum range is 500m
Tavour has effective range of 1km,maximum range 1.5km,dats the new guns the military is using against boko haram
Catapult has effective range of 200 meters as well, that doesn't mean it is accurate. For example, if you point an AK 74 at a person standing at the end of a 200 meters field, you most likely won't be able to hit them. So, it can have an effective range of 10,000 meters, it doesn't help if you can't hit the target

This is incorrect. There is no military school that teaches people that the accuracy of the AK-47 is 100 yards, neither can the shotgun be effective for 300-400 yards like you said. I don't think you know anything about weapons, I'm keen to know where you read up these statistics from?
Have you shot an AK 47 at 150 yards before? If yes, can you produce the results?

yjgm:
AK47 effective range is 400m not 100 pls. Correct that assertion
Which one be effective? The guys is talking about accuracy. The reason is simple, the AK47 is made up of very few simple metal parts. It is very easy to assemble and disassemble. Because of these simple metal parts, it loses accuracy with recoil and it's harmonics are disturbed when it rides the railings and hit the back of the rifle.

Also, the hand rail is mostly made of wood which affects it during the heat and even in winter. Same reason it is harder for your door to open during the dry season and summer.

If the argument was that it is durable, then yes - the AK 47 is simple, durable and reliable simply because it has fewer parts. It has a decent calibre in the 7.62 by 39 which can pass through concrete blocks at close range. However, it is not an accurate weapon. The AR15 platform is a much better accurate weapon.

Simple put, I would prefer my enemies all have AK 47 at a long distance fight. At close quarters, they are deadly smiley

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.
Slugs with longer shotgun barrels will go well beyond 50 yards with lethal effects. It most likely will kill anything within a hundred yards. I have shot federal one ounce slugs with a smooth bore shotgun over 100 yards with very good results. Others have claimed good results over 200 yards hitting their targets. I am not a shotgun fan but they are pretty deadly with slugs over 100 yards. I turkey, boar and dear hunt all year round so that is my two cents smiley

These are good videos breaking down shotgun shells over different distances:

GBTYO:
A shotgun having more effective range than an assault rifle?

An AK has an effective range of 800m. That means it can kill you at 800m.

Shotgun is meant for close quarters and has a much lower effective range.

Other than buck shots, cartridge shells have very limited damage from 20yards.

Guy delete this nonsense now.
He was trying to say the AK is not an accurate weapon in a gun fight at long distances. Yes, it was kill at 800 meters but the general wood stock and lack of scoping accessories makes it a poor range shooting weapon. It has to be heavily customized for hit anything over 200 meters accurately. However, the 7.62 X 39 calibre is very effective in combat.

This is the one question you won't receive from a JW-many of us have asked-in all different ways-do they believe in Christ well enough to accept Him-No is the Answer. JW's don't worship Jesus.
Their publications prior to 1954 confirm that they worshiped Him. I know they changed their doctrine now and claim they don't worship Him but then it conflicts with what JW believes.

But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone" 1 cor 15:28
It is a simple question isn't it. Is Jesus a lesser god than Jehovah?

did I mention Abraham in my post?
Cha - you were referring to God Himself going to minister to who-so-ever and you gave an example of Moses. I had raised the question earlier about why Jesus; why did God bring Jesus in the picture if He is everything and can do everything Himself. You then gave an example of God sending Moses as He sent Jesus. I then went ahead to give example about God ministering Himself in Genesis to Abraham showing that God can go Himself as He had done in the past.

So, stop deflecting the question - why Jesus? If God is the creator, why did He create the everything through Jesus and by Jesus? Why? Why did Jesus claim that He was God? Why Jesus, that is my question Bros. Please do justice and answer the question and stop running away.

don't forget that God send moses as the God of pharaoh, why bring in moses if he can do everything Himself ? ask that too
Malu - moses was a man; Moses didn't create the universe, moses isn't and wasn't the WORD. God didn't tell angels to worship Moses. God didn't call moses God. All those attributes are only related to Jesus. Hence the reason I asked you why Jesus. If you don't have an answer, please say so and stop ranting

John 4:23 True worshippers will worship the Father
Since you want to play pretend, let me quote your own JW publications:

Russell taught that we should worship Jesus and the initial Watchtower Charter's specified that establishment of the Watchtower Society was to promote the worship of Jehovah and Jesus. Yet since the 1950's, worshipping Jesus became regarded as wrongful idolatry. Russell promoted the worship of Jesus and prayer to him because he is our God.

"It seems clear that His Divinity was retained in humanity because He repeatedly spoke of Himself as having come down from heaven, and because He, though passing through trial and sorrow as a man, was yet possessed of the authority and exercised the prerogatives of a God. He was the object of unreproved worship even when a babe, by the wise men who came to see the new-born King. Matt. 2:2-11. Even the angels delighted to do Him honor. "When He bringeth the first-begotten into the world, He saith, "And let all the angels of God worship Him." Heb. 1:6. He never reproved any one for acts of worship offered to Himself, but when Cornelius offered such service to Peter--the leading apostle-- "he took him up, saying, stand up; I myself also am a man." .... Had Christ not been more than a man the same reason would have prevented from receiving worship...." Zion's Watch Tower 1880 Oct pp.2-3

And again:

"Question. The fact that our Lord received worship is claimed by some to be an evidence that while on earth he was God the Father disguised in a body of flesh and not really a man. Was he really worshiped, or is the translation faulty? Answer. Yes, we believe our Lord Jesus while on earth was really worshiped, and properly so. It was proper for our Lord to receive worship in view of his having been the only begotten of the Father and his agent in the creation of all things, including man." Zion's Watch Tower 1898 Jul 15 p.216

Rutherford continued:

"Jehovah God commands all to worship Christ Jesus because Christ Jesus is the express image of his Father, Jehovah, and because he is the Executive Officer of Jehovah always carrying out Jehovah's purpose (Heb.:3-6)." Watchtower 1939 Nov 15 p.339

Some more for you:

"Now, at Christ's coming to reign as king in Jehovah's capital organization Zion, to bring in a righteous new world, Jehovah makes him infinitely higher than the godly angels or messengers and accordingly commands them to worship him. Since Jehovah God now reigns as King by means of his capital organization Zion, then whosoever would worship Him must also worship and bow down to Jehovah's Chief One in that capital organization, namely, Christ Jesus, his Co-regent on the throne of The Theocracy." Watchtower 1945 Oct 15 p.313

There are many many more publications before 1950's where JW doctrine stated clearly that Jehovah and Jesus should be worshiped. I tried to ask you if it was true and you ignored me. So I am asking again, from the watch-tower magazines and articles; did JW worship Jesus at any time?

Not only that, the Bible is clear:

Matthew 14:2-33:

25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshiped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.


Again, I will ask, do JW worship Jesus?

the scriptural point is clear, Jesus is not called the creator. now, you switch to excuses
I am following your line of thought, if Jesus is not the creator then he is a lesser god than Almighty God, is that right?

if God alone is Supreme and Almighty, why send moses as a God to pharaoh, why not go himself ?
Didn't God appear Himself to Abraham in Genesis 18:1, 12:7, 17:1–3, 22) . The text is clear that God Himself appeared to Abraham and spoke with him. Can you explain this?

you are asking a baseless, sentimental , irrational question. Hebrews 1:2 says God made the universe through his son . stick with that !
It is not baseless and irrational, it is simply using your own logic. Why bring in Jesus if God can do everything Himself?

Jehovah's Witnesses worship only the person Jesus worships , do u know him ?
That is not true - in John 1:1, JW claims the WORD is a god?. In John 1:3 = JW claims that everything that exist, made and created was created by this "a god".

Again, it's the uneducated and uninformed that you can deceive. JW history teaches from your texts and archives that you worshiped Jesus and your history clearly stated so. In the 50's, you guys changed doctrine on worshiping Jesus. So the facts are clear, you worship God and you worship Jesus which is guys call "a god". Are you denying these facts?

Dude, I am not going to argue with you. You can selectively decide to use interpretation one place if it's fit your heretical views and deny it elsewhere.

We know that BMW make cars. We know that Apple Computers makes ipads, we know that Microsoft makes the Xbox. These products are "made by" these manufacturers. In the same way - these products are created by these manufacturers. So, selectively choosing words and giving them implied meaning shows the true nature of JW.

John 1:10 made it clear. Romans 11:36 even clearer but heretics and cults no matter now much they mix truth with lies have one thing in common - they deny the deity of Jesus Christ.

So let me ask this question - how many God/gods do you believe in and do you worship?

If you're an erudite scholar, like you want be to believe, I think you should know that the bold part is more of political and economic than religion, believe me. Even the issue of the Shia and Sunnies, right from inception, as far as I'm concerned, is more of political, it was a battle of leadership - who takes over the leadership of the Humma after the death of the Prophet? In any case, I think one finds it difficult defending the actions of my northern brothers in faith. You can hardly hear of something like this in the south.
If you understand Islam, you will understand that there is no division between politics and religion in Islam. The Sharia is a typical example, Sharia legislate every single aspect of muslim life down to how one have sex. Policies are defined by the Koran and the Sunnah of prophet Mohammad and not by civil law. Places like Saudi or Iran are states based on Sharia.

Regarding why it happens more in the North than in the South is question of Sharia. Sharia is implemented in the north than in the south. So, it is not an economics problem. Saudi is a very reach country and so are other countries that implement Sharia. The south of Nigeria is also not without such issues - if you want to see them, I have multiple cases

You are claiming Creator and maker are different here but in explaining the meaning of the Greek word of CREATE, you said that CREATE and MADE are the same.

In Hebrews 1:2: God the Father acknowledges it was through God the Son that the universe was created. In John 1:3, John confirmed that God the Son is the maker and creator of ALL things.

You can't selectively choose CREATOR means something one place and MAKER doesn't or CREATE and MADE are not the same when you defended it was the same elsewhere.

Not only that, Islam is dualistic in nature - it has one set of laws for muslims and others for non muslims. It divides the world into two house-holds; I am sure you know what I mean.

I learned Islam from the Koran, the Hadith, the Sunnah and Siri of prophet Mohammad. While I can say it was at times peaceful, it has multiple teachings that is causing the killings of Shias against Sunnis and vice versa. Look at Syria, look at Iraq, look at Thailand, look at the Middle East. But most importantly, look at the life and teachings of prophet Mohammed; it will tell you all about Islam

The facts are simple. A non muslim woman was murdered because it was claimed that she "blasphemed" Islam prophet. While I wouldn't want to get into Islamic theology, it is a standing Islamic jurisprudence for both Sunni and Shia that blaspheming Islam prophet carries the capital punishment which is in most cases death.

Take your protest to the street . Mind you I don't support the killing of the innocent woman in any way irrespective of what ever she must have said about our humble prophet . Those people that perpetrated the evil against that woman can only be classified as pure illiterate . And i think they should be made to face the full wrath of their unguided action in court of law . from what the president has said . . He only said that for future reference. Hence We ought to learn how to respect other people faith . You know the chaos would have been avoided if only the woman and her murderers had listen to the Quranic and Biblical quotations about love . . . If Your Bible guided you to love your neighbour as yourself and my Quran also instructed us to love other people according to how we love ourselves. Then why are we still not at peace with ourselves . Don't you think that make us an unbeliever ? Since most of us has choose to succumbed to the voice of the devil, rather than the peaceful way of the holy books?
Dude - where you there? Did you hear the woman "insult" your prophet? The lady asked the muslim man after his prayer in the future to please not use the front of her shop so it will not affect her business - that was all she said. The people who didn't know the meaning of peace here where the "illiterates" as you call them and they are on your side of the fence.

Taking my protest to the street will not stop the "blaspheming" laws in the mainly sharia north of Nigeria. Today it might be a 70 year old woman, years ago it was a Yoruba teacher who was murdered because a muslim student was cheating and used the Koran to hide his cheat-paper, when the lady went to take the paper, the student claimed an "infidel" touched the Koran and she was lynched. Perhaps you should do well to teach the "illiterates" as you call them the "peace" you are talking about.

My Bible guides me to love and that is why we don't don't murder anyone for "blaspheming" Jesus Christ, something the Islamic world can learn from. It is not me to preach peace to Muslims, that is why you have your Imams and Mullahs. My approach is simple - be tough with tough people and soft with soft people.

Can you please tell me the difference there? grin. Your doctrine of creator and master maker is what is confusing you. Jesus Christ created/made everything; the Bible has made that clear in John 1:3. You heretics deny John 1:1 so I don't want to debate you on that

Some more education for you. Jesus is known as our everlasting Father in the Bible.

Isaiah 9:6: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

Here Jesus is called Everlasting Father. While I am not claiming Jesus is Jehovah, Jesus is God. Please read

John 1:3 = Through him ALL things were made; without him NOTHING was made that has been made.. As if that is not enough, read Hebrews 1:3 as well.

You are the same idiots that claim Jesus is Michael and Michael is Jesus when the Bible made it VERY clear that Jesus is not an angel. But NO - your publishers who don't publish their names for us to critic them and debate them drills your brain with such stupidity.

I guess Proverbs 8:5 was written for a reason smiley

Am a Christian, but I still respect all other religion either Islam,Judaism,Buddhism etc
because they all call on God and he answers them so why should I insult others belief,. And when u insult other religion huh who are you to fight for Godhuh who r you to condemn a religion.

I repeat!! am from a Christian home but I know how to recite little Arabic verses, am not optimistic am not foolish,, God made all religion on purpose.

I still look at some poo on nairaland making ridicule of islam,hmm take note on the judgement day God will deal with you.

Your unnecessary and constant hate on the president is a life time disease . Only God can safe you . . . . What is wrong for a president to educate his subjects on respect peoples faith irrespective of who or what they are ?
Who "disrespected" who's faith that it caused a brutal murder of an innocent woman?
