    Soviet specialty.
    Kill reporters, suppress news.

    I'm very wary of this. That's a very superficial would that could faked very easy. It's a leap of faith to think that the round was off just enough to draw blood but not really injure. I thing the famous Green helmet Man is behind this.

    I guess I will be alive to see a historically disastrous World War.

    This going to be... Fascinating.


    Keep dreaming. WW3 isn't about to be started over Georgia.

    Can anyone take a guess at the caliber?

    Based on what? The terminal ballistics?
    I's say it's 416 Rigby... Rimed of course. :roll:

    Although it could have been a pinfire, or perhaps some variation of the square puckle gun...

    Refer to the movie "wanted" for more details

    Probably 5.45x39 mm or 7.62 x 39 mm
    The two most popular Russian calibers for the AK variations

    WARNING RUDE ANSWER

    Aww. Piss off. I don't go down to the docks, pull salors dicks out of you're mouth and tell you how to do your'e job!


    I agree and I'm more worried about who's holding the camera and pushing the story.
