=by the BATF. However, I was contemplating offshore delivery and
=use. As with
=machine guns,
I recall an article and I think a chapter in his book There Be Dragons where
Reese Paley for some reason had an AK47 aboard a delivery in the Red Sea.
Something happened, probably popped a shroud, and the top of the mast above
the spreaders broke and folded over. To save his crew from going aloft in a
seaway, Reese says he detached the broken stub with a burst from the AK47.
Guess Belt & Braces sailor ought to stick one in their bosun's bag ;->
(emoticon added for the humor impaired).
Later, if I remember right, he tried to flag down some Arab guards in a
dinghy along the coast by firing a burst in the air. For some reason, they
didn't come to assist. I've met him at a couple of boat shows. Interesting
dude.
