Everyone who works and pays taxes is middle class. There has been no such thing as "working class" since the 1970s with the end of mass labour industries such as coal mining and steel.
The other classes are underclass/scum (long term unemployable) and upper class (too rich to need to work).

Kevin empties bins for the council and his wife Sharon is a school dinner lady. They own their own house, take two foreign holidays per year (sun and skiing) and own two cars. They are middle class who work, not working class.

Get the MCRmug. As stated, the AK-47 and FN-FAL/SLR both have barrels of calibre 7.62mm. However, the 2 weapons fire totally incompatible cartridges. The FN-FAL/SLR used the 7.62x51 NATO cartridge whereas the AK-47 used the shorter 7.62x39 Soviet cartridge.
The NATO cartidge is more powerful and has greater range (hence it has often been used in machine guns such as the BREN and GPMG/FN-MAG, and in sniper rifles sucn as the SR-25), however the less powerful Soviet cartridge is more effective at wounding/killing a human at typical combat ranges (less than 400m).

A shot from a 7.62x51 SLR at close range would typically go straight through the target and out the other side, doing minimal damage and transferring little monentum to the target. A shot from an 7.62x39 AK-47 will tumble inside the target, doing considerable damage and transferring all of its monentum to the target.

Get the 7.62mug. A form of armchair expert who gains all their knowledge from the internet and then enlightens others on social media. The accuracy of their source information may be suspect, their analysis and conclusions are likely flawed, but they will shout down anyone who dares to challenge their expertise in the field.
In an online discussion of tractors on a newspaper website I posted that a problem with modern tractors was that a fault with the electronics could stop them dead and require a technician with a laptop to fix. An Internet Expert informed me that it was always possible for a modern tractor to "limp home" however bad the failure "in his experience".
I pointed out that I was a farmer and that for example on a Massey 5465 with Dyna 4 the gear selection is electronic, the rear hydraulics are electronic and a fault in either could strand a tractor in the middle of a field (no power or stuck anchored to the ground by a harrow or plough). The Internet Expert went very quiet!

Get the internet expertmug. A good idea, in theory, like socialism, christianity and democracy. However, like those others, it falls down in practice, because it ignores human nature. Human nature is not to be nice to each other, it is to get a big stick, whack the other person over the head and take all his stuff as that is easier than getting your own stuff.
Terence is an anarchist and wears black clothes and big boots so as to not conform to the stereotype of all anarchists wearing black clothes and big boots. We felt obliged to teach him about human nature, so beat 7 bells out of him. Why? Because we can!

Get the anarchistmug. The crap like spoilers, body kits, bolted fuel caps and stick-on window tinting that boy racers (see also pond scum and chavs) attach to their beaten up Vauxhall Novas to impress their friends.
The end result is a sheep in wolf's clothing.

Rather than buy a proper sports car, I will take this beaten up wreck and make it look like one for almost as much money.
