Why is the SA80a2 rifle only a right-handed weapon?
829887
--Simply because of the costs involved in producing two different variations and the fact that certain parts won't be exchangable between the right and left handed version.\nIf you try firing an SA80 A1/A2 left handed then not only will you have hot brass casings flying into your face (unlike most rifles, the SA80 ejects the casings rearwards as opposed to sidewards) but the cocking handle will most likely break your jaw since the ejection port is so far back on the rifle.\nIt just makes more sense to tech left handed people to shoot right handed than go through all the above problems.\n\nHope to have cleared that up for you.

It's a very good question. But it would be even better if you asked other way around. \n\nBecause, people who are left-handed are right. cz left side of the brain controls the muscles and also it is a bit faster than left.\n\nBut if you ask the other way around, that why many of us do it wrong? I really don't know. But can guess that its more cultural thing than anything else.\n\nhttp://www.coolquiz.com/trivia/explain/docs/lefthand.asp

I dont know why you would want a scope on a M4 it is short barreled, and its use is mainly used from inside vehicles with short bursts, Having been there I can say the preferred weapon of the PSDs and military is the AK having seen the failure rate of the M4 if you want to come home alive use an AK

Yes. The M16A1 had a "fully automatic" setting. One difference when the new M16A2 came out was that fully auto setting had been replaced by "burst", which will let the weapon fire a three-round burst at a time.

By far the most common mauser rifle is the mod. 98, in 8mm\nThe serial #s are stamped into almost all parts on WW2 german guns.... But that doesn't mean that they all will be matching.

Are you sure?\nI have no information suggesting that Yugo SKS rifles, or any SKS rifles for that matter, were EVER produced in a Full-auto configuration. \nBesides, Since the May 81 ruling, and subsequent increases in restriction of the importation of full auto(class 3) weaponsThe BATFE would never allow the importation of Full auto Rifles without the complete removal or destruction by torch-cutting of the recievers.\nI suspect that whoever told you that the rifles were full auto was misinformed or just full of it.\nIf in doubt, contact the BATFE (bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms, and have an agent inspect the guns and make a ruling as to their status. It would be in your best interests to do so yourself, as the posession of an unliscensed machinegun carries a ten year prison sentance and a 20,000$ fine for EACH machinegun! If they somehow ARE machineguns (which I doubt, as a machinegun with a FIXED TEN ROUND MAGAZINE, would be nearly useless), you should be able to avoid serious prision time and financial ruin by bringing these to the BATF's attention YOURSELF, VOLUNTARALLY.\n\nThere is another possibility. If  An SKS is BROKEN, it can inadvertantly go full-auto or completely empty its magazine in a "runaway" full auto burst! This is an extremely dangerous malfunction, which must be addressed by a gunsmith.

The person above me has one of the main reasons.  Another key reason is because most goaltenders have their catching glove on their right hand.  Shooting right-handed would allow more shots to go on the blocker side.  It is harder for a goalie to get the blocker in the way of the shot because, not only does that glove weigh more, but it's hard to move that hand with the stick in hand.  I am right-handed, but I shoot left-handed for this sole reason.

because in older days. the knights, which belonged mainly to England and the u.k, had swords on their left as most of them were right handed men. and if someone challenged them to a fight at the time they were on the road, it was easier to pull out the sword with their right hand if the scabbard was in the left. also during the medieval ages, their was something like the cast system.so the nobles rode on their left and the peasants on their right of the road.\nbut in the u.s the people who travelled on the roads were mainly those who transported stuff in the big waggons driven by a team of horses, with the best horse on the left as that made it easier for the other 5 horses to pull. so the owner sat on the left of the waggon in the front, and they found that it was easier to travel on the right of the road so that they pass face to face with the other waggon owners. This is why people travel on the left of the road in th U.k and The commonwealth and on the left in th U.S.

The Ak47 was used by th soviets, and most breakaway contries in that region were the old soviet union. It is also the most widly produced, durable, inexpensive weapon there is. Just look at it like this, i have used one. i poured a handful of sand right into the chamber with it open. fired, no problem.

One of my son's is right handed and left eyed. He still shoots right handed and is extremely accurate.  My son even uses a scope on a rifle shooting right handed and using his left eye. There shouldn't be a problem with this unless your son just can't get the adjustment down. Let him start practicing this way and I'll bet he can do it too.

Assault rifles have selective fire (semi-auto, three round burst, and full-auto). The military M-16, AK-47, M-4.  Magazine fed\n\nSub-machine guns are full auto weapons that fire pistol ammo. Thompson or Tommie gun, MP-5\n\nThen there is the machine pistol which is a full auto pistol.  The Glock 18, \n\nThere are light machine guns such as the Squad automatic weapon (the gun that Zarqawi was trying to fire in that video) and the M-60.  They are full auto, belt fed.\n\nMachine guns are generally considered to heavy to shoot with out a tripod or being mounted on a vehicle the browning .50 cal for instance.\n\n"Long guns" are mainly deer rifles, the Barrett's .50 cal, and shot guns.  Long guns is really a slang tern rather than a classification.  The civilian versions of M-16 (AR-15) ect would fall under this category because with out the BATF stamp civilians can only own the semi-auto versions

AK-47's are nice weapons. So are Air to Air missiles! America does it too, so don't complain.
