As I said before, my understanding was that the Russians could not afford to issue the AN-94 despite some of its advantages, it being issued to the Army is the first I have heard of it really even being manufactured in large numbers, not that I am anywhere near an expert on the subject or even talk of it much.

With greater knowledge comes a greater chance of survival. And how does that happen, by knowing what my possible enemy has. I can disable it if the need arises.

How the hell do you think I make money. Jane is my author name.

This is still on topic, sort of, but I was told, never have found any reference to it, about a device to place into an enemy weapon which would wedge in the barrel when fired, disabling the weapon without having to crush it while in the field. Luis, or anyone, ever hear of such a device used by the US Military. The info came from a Veteran who was an MP back in the `60s.

Sounds like somthing out of Sci-Fi or 1945 German Weapon programs. I'll do some research on it and see if it's true.
