AK47

The famous Avtomat Klashnikova Model 1947 (AK47) is, along with it's scores of variants, the most widely used and manufacutured assault rifle in the world. Developed orginally for mobile units of the Russian Army, the AK rifles have found their way into the hands from hundreds of other militaries, as well as terrorist groups. Caliber of the orginal AK47/AKM was 7.62x39mm. The 7.62mm caliber has been phased out in Russia, which now favors the 5.45x39mm, chambered in the AK74.

In the days of the Cold War, the USSR made and distributed countless AK47 assault rifles.

Heckler & Koch USP

A double action, polymer framed, semi automatic pistol manufactured by Heckler & Koch GmbH of Germany. Availible in .40 Smith & Wesson, 9x19mm Parabellum, and .45 ACP. There are many variants, including: The USP Compact (which, in addition to the three calibers mentioned above, is availible in .357 SIG), the USP Expert, USP Match, and USP Tactical. The USP was also the basis for the Mk23 Mod 0 SOCOM .45 ACP pistol. Many seem to think the only availible USP is the .45 ACP Tactical model, probably due to the fact that they know little or nothing about ANY guns not featured in some game called Counterstrike, if they even know that there are guns that EXIST outside those used in Counterstrike.

The Heckler & Koch USP is a rugged, reliable service pistol very well suited for military and police applications, as well as recreational shooting.

.44 Magnum

A handgun cartrige orignially developed for the Smith & Wesson. Model 29 double action revolver. The .44 Mag is the brainchild of pistolero Elmer Keith.
The .44 Magnum was forever immortalized when it was first seen in the Clint Eastwood movie, 'Dirty Harry.' It has become a popular handgun hunting round, and can be found chambered in various handguns, including the Smith & Wesson 629 (and variants), Ruger's Blackhawk, Redhawk, and Super Red Hawk revolvers, and of course the ever popular Israeli Desert Eagle autoloading pistol. While no longer the reining heavyweight champion, it is far more practical than cartridges such as the .454 Casull, .475 Linebaugh, (.50 Action Express), and .500 Smith & Wesson.

Do you feel lucky punk?
