Luckily the author never handled or used a Spanish FR8.

Any satire by him would seriously upset my superficial, fragile ego (which is closely connected to my choice of guns), and cause a serious "loss of face".
Hasta luego, auf wiederschauen...

It seems that some folks won't be happy unless they have a pocket-sized, silenced handgun that shoots a round as powerful as a .30-06, the recoil of a .22 Short and a magazine capacity of a belt-fed machine gun.

Everything else is compromise.

The MINI-14:

Could be a good rifle, but it’s not black.
It's available in black too....

interesting silly little satire, but have to give respect to "dan" that resopnded to it, because like he said he used some of the weponds and trusted them with his life in combat.
