Comparing M4 And Ak 47

However, not all guns should be aloud and open to the public. In most cases assault weapons are used in mass shootings. In California it is illegal to own any gun with with an AK/AK15. Assault weapons are unnecessary to defend yourself. Sometimes all it takes to defend yourself is just revealing your fire arm. For example Appalachian School was being targeted by a shooter when a few brave students showed enough courage to run out to their cars and grab their fire arms. These students were lucky to prevent any deaths from happening.

IntroI am doing this report on the M1 Garand for Mr.Walker 182's History Class. The Garand is a fascinating World War II semi-automatic rifle. In the sub-sections below I will describe the developement history of the gun, the service history, and info on different versions. I wanted to add diagrams of the M1 rifle but the pictures are copyrighted and I was not able to download but the diagrams could be found at <a href="http://www.chestnutridge.com/gchart.asp">http://www.chestnutridge.com/gchart.aspDevelopment HistoryThe origins of the United States Rifle, Caliber .30, M1 begin around August, 1900, when Captain O.B.

I’m sure that you have heard all the ramble about “assault weapons” (these weapons are actually called AR-15s) and how they should be banned from use of the public. Well I disagree; there’s much for politicians to learn about these weapons, which is one of the biggest problems. These weapons are actually not dangerous tools for murderers and psychopaths, as they are made out to be. They are sporting and hunting rifles that can be outfitted for a variety of jobs for the public. AR-15s should absolutely remain legal in the United States as the are more than just weapons of mass destruction: they can be used for safety and defence, they actually aren’t assault weapons at all, they are surprisingly good for hunting applications, most of the people

Furthermore, weapons such as the AR-15 and AK-47 were developed for war. Developed to inflict maximum amount of casualties in little amount of time. Something that is overkill for protection or hunting. As Ronald Reagan states “An AK-47 in not a sporting weapon, nor needed for defense of a home (Snopes, Arms Talks)”. Reagan didn’t want to take the 2nd Amendment away from people, but to make the purchase of a weapon harder. An AR-15 fires 45 rounds a minute, which is way too excessive for hunting and protection. As well the AR-15 hold 30 rounds of ammunition, which is way too much for hunting or protection. A trained marksman only needs one bullet..

Assault weapons are the newest and the most popular type of firearm. When most people hear the term ‘assault weapon’, they think of an unnecessary weapon and their connections to mass shootings. That type of thinking is necessary when it comes to these types of weapons, and too many those disagree with people who think this way. There arguments are, “This is America,” and “It’s guaranteed in the second amendment,” but the issue is assault weapons have no place in American society outside the military and police use. The Second Amendment states, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This sentence written by our forefathers says nothing about which weapons are allowed in this country. So it is up to our government to decide which guns are legal and which guns are illegal. From a logical and educated perspective all assault weapons should be banned from public distribution and possession, and be restricted to use by our police and armed forces. This can easily be proven by why the 1994 gun ban was not successful, assault weapon capabilities in the hands of citizens, and solutions to assault weapon control.

In an article written by Charles Blow he states, “[in my youth,] a rifle wasn 't a weapon as much as a tool. People hunted…And they were a guard against intruders -though those intruders were more an idea than a reality in those parts - who might threaten life of property” (Blow). According to Blow, when he was a child, guns weren 't such a big threat to kill humans as they are today, although many citizens owned them back then. Throughout the last few decades the only thing that has changed are the weapons that are available and the society in which all kinds of people who, for some reason, decide to hurt others. The gun industry has produced more powerful weapons and not all are specifically for hunting. Many of those guns end up in the hands of children, mentally unstable people and others who just want to cause harm. Blow states, “And there wasn 't the fetish for military-style weapons and armor-piercing bullets” (Blow). In today 's world, one can go out and purchase a .50 caliber Barrett rifle. It 's one of the most powerful weapon a civilian can purchase. It 's not legal to hunt with these rifles, so why are they made available to the public? It does not make sense that such a powerful weapon is available to the public. These military style weapons should be banned because they often turn murder into mass murder. The only

Mass shootings are a controversial subject because many do not want to rush into gun control because they could because anxious from any recent mass shootings. Supporters of gun control believe that taking away “assault weapons” would solve this but that word was made up in the wake of these shootings . “Assault Weapons” are made up assault rifles are standard practice for the military as they are fully automatic and have big capacity magazines and are made specifically to do major damage. The “Assault Weapons” many supporters want to ban are known as semi-automatic rifles and have been around since the early days of the war with vietnam. In fact the AR-15 the most popular rifle in America and it was originally developed 60 years ago as defensive weapon and the company that developed it sold the rights to Colt to make fully automatic versions for the military called the M16 but also sold

There is currently an ongoing debate in the U.S whether or not the government should ban assault weapons. An assault weapon is a semi-automatic weapon that has a larger magazine that is capable of holding more bullets, and fires a bullet every time the trigger is pulled. There are also assault weapons categorized as machine guns that fire bullets as long as the trigger is held down in a constant state. What differentiates assault weapons from other guns is that assault weapons are deadlier for they have semi-automatic capability, larger ammunition and military like features. It makes the weapons more appealing to people who want to kill large amounts of people. The likelihood or ability to obtain an assault weapon in the United States are

This design lead to greater and more powerful weapons to be used in the First and Second World War. The weapons used in the World Wars were by far the most advanced of their time. The new weapons produced three times the amount of firepower either sides of the Civil War could produce at any given time. These weapons were feared by the citizens of the time. These new weapons consisted of the Thompson, a submachine gun, which fired a .45 caliber bullet at high velocities. This rifle became the standard fully automatic rifle for the United States Armed Forces. Though this weapon had a very important role in winning the war, it was also used in various crimes throughout the United States in the early nineteenth century. Does this make this rifle a bad thing to own? While some would argue that the weapon was a threat to the public’s safety, and while the others would say it was not, it still fired at a high velocity which makes the possibility of multiple deaths more possible. This caused a large concern to erupt among the public in large cities where mobs were becoming popular. It was obvious that these new found guns would be great for protecting the public, however, it would also come to harm them since they were falling into the hands of criminals. These weapons would never stop evolving with years to come weapons would become more deadly and even more common than the thompson would ever be.

In my opinion assult weapons aren't really that different from the weapons that they were using when they made up the Second Amendment. They are just improve by technology and to help us protect ourselves from the improve threats. The 2nd Amendment should give citizens the right to own assault weapons because they have already given us the right to own most weapons. The 2nd Amendment should give us the right for citizens to have assault rifles because it is there to protect us and our family if needed.

A smooth-bore musket is a type of gun that is smooth on the inside. The bullet is pushed through the smooth barrel and can be launched about eighty yards. A rifled musket has a groove and is spiraled in the inside. The actually bullet is closer to the trigger and can shoot four hundred yards. These two different guns bring their own importance to the war because of the new, easy way killing someone became. The rifled musket seemed more effective in the long run, but the smooth-bore musket was just as useful. 620,000 Americans died (although a majority of the death was caused by disease) during this tragic war.

Another very powerful gun that was used in World War II was the Submarine guns. The submarine guns are much stronger and better than normal guns due to the fact that they have better firing distances (Military History 7). The submarine gun was built mainly for endurance and for accuracy. This gun had the accuracy to fire from 800 to at least 1,000 yards away and delivers a powerful blow to its victims. One problem which the gun had was the fact that it could dislocate a soldiers arm whenever it was fired. But finally the submarine gun was improved and is now less powerful which makes it easier for firing full automatic rounds along with pistol rounds (8).

The musket is a two-handed weapon which means that it can not be shot from a vehicle and unable to be concealed on a person. What this would prevent is people driving away from their opponents and taking their engines out and also unable to whip it out. Second, the musket only has a clip of 1 with a time in between shot 4.56 seconds. Compared to the revolver with a clip of 6 with a time in between shots of 1.833. This all means that its a more risk to using, you can be rushed when reloading causing you to get killed.

The M4 was developed and produced for the United States government by Colt Firearms, which has an exclusive contract to produce the M4 family of weapons

The AK-47 is not just simply another gun, it is much, much more. It is an ongoing legacy of one mans innovation to the small arms market and a national symbol. In a time of changing warfare, a weapon was needed to work efficiently at and within a range of 300 meters. This weapon needed the accuracy and control of the longer barreled rifles but also the power and automatic fire of a sub machine gun. This lead to a hybrid being created, in the form of the assault rifle (Poyer, Joe 2004).
