The SMGs/ARs used by a hardcore criminal element of around ~200 critters who rob banks, or more often, money transports.<BR/><BR/>Well, there was one army cadet who went on a killing spree with his AR about oh 15 years ago or so, but that's the sole exception.<BR/><BR/>Oh and to legally acquire a gun here, you need to either: a) be a part of a gun club for at least two years(only way to get a licence for a pistol), or b) get a hunting permit and have land to hunt on. Then you need to apply for a gun licence on the gun you intend to buy, which takes about a month.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-74031808702682079432008-02-08T20:45:00.000-05:002008-02-08T20:45:00.000-05:00.....longest kill...... at 1,800 meters.......10 T........longest kill...... at 1,800 meters.......10 TIMES THE MAX EFFECTIVE RANGE OF DEER HUNTERS!<BR/><BR/>..... 180 meters is the max effective range of deer hunters?
