Which gun for the Chinese Space Hero?

[BerettaNut92]

Sergeant: "Comlad Yang, come heeah, all this fah you."
Cosmonaut: "What all this?"
Sergeant: "SUPPLIES!!!"

Many of us can be blown over at the mere sight of a Chinaman falling from the sky.

Some of us actually 'Chinaman' to be offensive and archaic













... when 'Chinaperson' is a much more acceptable alternative

Is the 5.8mm unique to the T97 or whatever that thing is?

 

[jonny wong]

chinaman on board?

When this jonny wong was there. They used K54 for handgun and Ak 47 .

 

[Bowlcut]

[Carlos]

Glad somebody could figure that one out.

Johnny Wong from Vancouver, WA, Johnny Wong, who drives German white car, who we met at "the Dump" once???

 

[keederdag]

What the heck is a K54?

 

[BerettaNut92]

What you say?

 

[ed dixon]

Ah, Wong, my old nemesis. Paddling confusion upriver past Arcane Inlet to the tiny Island of Inscrutability. Your move, Wong. As always, your move.

I just wonder how long it would have taken China to get into space if good ol' Billy Clinton hadn't authorized the release of the classified technology

 

[Scarface]

Dung Lai, Dinkydau. Chieu hoi.

 

[uglymofo]

Aiya. Wu are you?

 

[C.R.Sam]

Do y'all want to get this thread steered back to guns n like stuff , or do I close it as being OT and you can start over ????

Next post determines it.

The Chinese have been launching satellites for years. This is the first time, though, that they've had a guy in there.

In reality, this is probably little more than a publicity stunt. I mean, other than some scientific research, there isn't much reason to send people into space right now, espeically if you're going to send a guy up, have him orbit the earth like twice then come back down.

 

[Triad]

Maybe he means Type 54?

I have a feeling jonny pressed the 'New Thread' button instead of the 'Post Reply' button. Perhaps when viewing this thread? http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44957

jonny - please explain.

 

[jonny wong]

Thanx Mal H. I did messed up on that part! I hoped I hit the reply button this time. It was a type 54. We over there called them K54s... !

Skunk -- AFAIK the 5.8 X 42 is unique to the new rifle system (there are other variants of the 95 including a SAW-type rifle). It's actually pretty analagous the the AUG in that you can slap on different bbls to fill different roles. I know Norinco *does* export them (where I do not know, It's certainly not here, and even if they were 922r compliant, Norinco got hit with an embargo here for copying Sigs or something), but the export version is chambered in .223 Rem.

Oddly enough a friend of mine loaned me 'Splinter Cell' a few months ago and I remember being blown away that they got the rifles right...

Skunk, you did the crintfah-eestwood again... thanks for making my day.

Sending big rockets into space is about the same whether you're sending people or warheads.
Aside from the feel-good, patriotic aspect of it, the launch supposed to tell American intelligence that China is comfortable launching a rocket big enough to deliver XXX-ton bombs to a target XXX kilometers away.

Two Wongs do not make a right but 3 Refts do


is a k54 better or worse than a cz52






Is this the 9mm vs 45/AR vs AK/223vs308/ColtvsS&W all over again thread now

Now THAT was FUNNY!!!

I'm going to sip a gin and tonic when I get home and ponder on how this substantiates the rumor that the English sense of humor is drier than the Texas sand.

Do you reckon ol' Wong likes Jerry Jeff?

Worse.

 

[keederdag]

No way dude; I own e'm both. The Tok is a waaaay superior desighn than they CZ52. Essentaily a modified browning, with a removable hammer/sear group. Quite accurate and very reliable. The CZ52= prone to break, lot's of small parts, overly complicated hk like roller system, and not particularly accurate. You ever field strip a CZ52? It's a farkin nightmare. The CZ is neat, but it aint the worlds greatist combat pistol. I'll take a norinco any day.
