The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

When you have a weapon in
When you have a weapon in hand and are being fired upon there is an overwhelming sense of urgency to put rounds downrange, no matter how well aimed. The one situation when I took sustained fire on my position proved this to me. I could not positively ID the shooter but felt an overwhelming need to fire at the rooftops of buildings in front of me, since that was the most likely position for the enemy that I could see. It would have been wrong by our ROE, so I fought it and didn't return fire, but tried to maneuver for a view of the shooter. I'm glad I fought it because I was wrong, and I would have put rounds into a civilian's house. The machinegun fire was coming from a car on the road, not the houses behind the road.
To cut to the chase, I disagree that having plenty of ammo is a bad thing. If I'm rattled I'm likely to miss, possibly miss repeatedly, and I'm a fairly decent marksman.
Trigger, there are many semi-auto versions of the AK-47 that are 100% legal. AKs aren't my cup of tea (I like to hit what I aim at) but they're a blast to shoot, and they don't require much cleaning.
