An AK 47, AR 15, HK MP5 or a Bazooka.

Might even be a 155m self propelled mortar gun. The options you lucky guys have in the US are almost endless!

Sorry, my bad MoA!

But still, I am sure you have more options that what we deprived souls have here in India.

Your STGW 57 has landed??

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

We have a winner... :cheers:

Arrived this morning... took just about 5 months to get everything in order. It really is an overengineered piece of work.
Diopter sights, integral Bipod, never use less than four times the metal required for a part. A polyutherane stock, integral muzzle brake and no recoil to speak of. It recoils less than my Vz 58.

The STG is home (note the sights folded down)
Image

On the bipod, with sights deployed
Image

Partizan and GP -11 7.5x55 Swiss Ammo. Seems to love the latter and hate the former. Need a lot more GP-11.

Image

Brother In Law shooting without the Bipod

Brother in Law shooting the STG off the Bipod (note the case being ejected, unlike other SA's it doesnt throw them across international lines)
Image

The K-31 that the STG 57 Replaced and my 6 BR
Image

Luger and Erma .22. The Erma is essentially a copy of the US M1 carbine in .22 lr.
