this culture is weird
thats kimjong uns little sister in the back row
the political culture obsesses with the need to repel invaders, yet to my knowledge there isnt anything in north korea that anybody wants
could bevwrong, i suppise
I'll wager that the Norwegian bowman who just killed 5 people (who knows why) can take care of these brick buster types. Who needs AK47s when you have a skilled archer who is sufficiently stealthy?
koreans have a history of archery as well
but tbe whole idea of macho martial arts soldiers is surreal. modern battles arent won with hand to hand combat.

I could hide in some shrubbery and take a lot of people out with my .22 rifle if I were so inclined (I'm not). I can put 10 rounds into a quarter-coin sized area at 50 yards, if it isn't moving. Doesn't take an AK to do the job.
Also, I showed one of my sons that video. He pointed out that some of those blocks of alleged concrete were really just foam. We also noticed that the sticks that were used to strike the guys broke at intervals which indicate that they had been sawn. Completely phony shit, in my book.
what kind of 22 does that?
22 Hornet. A good marksman can do some considerable harm with an an ordinary 22 rifle using standard LR ammunition.
My wife can use our High Standard 22 pistol to kill some paper targets, with eight inch rings, at 20 yards. My father was a marksman. His game was to fasten a bottle cap to a log with a nail. At 50 feet, the object was to drive the nail with the 22 . The cap would fall off if the nail was hit. He was really good at it. Me, never as good. I could hit a barn door at 20 feet then lie about the small size of the door

Mine is a Ruger k1022t, which is a carbine with a 20" bull barrel. I have a (cheap) BSA scope with parallax adjustment and an aftermarket trigger assembly that has cnc-machined components for crisp, reliable firing. I have an aftermarket Hogue thumb hole stock for better ergonomics for my old hands.
As currently configured-

Here's a pic of some of my better shooting. I'm actually not all that good. I've seen guys shoot single bull's eyes that take out the "x" in the center without tearing the ring.

considering that i m lucky not to hit myself when i shoot a gun, id say those are pretty good patterns
I'll admit to being pleased, but I'm striving to do better. One of my younger brothers was quite the marksman and could shoot a lot of times into the same hole. I can do it once in a great while. One more improvement might be made by having specs made that place the focal "sweet spot" near the top inside corner of the lens on my glasses, to reduce aberration. Of course, I haven't shot in over a year due to the exorbitant price of ammunition. I think the prices are coming down, but at one point .22 Long Rifle had quintupled in price.

How much does ammo cost?
Anywhere from $.12 to $.40 per round, depending on quality. Here's a site that sells a lot of ammo. Can't ship to California, though.

I generally use CCI Mini-Mag 40 grain plated lead round nose, which is down to $.12 a round. I was buying it for $.09 a round, but it went way up. You can find it on page 5 at the url I posted. There are 6 pages of ammo listed. Only the stuff on the first page is available. Our local gun stores have empty shelves. That ammo is not available. Everybody started hoarding it starting with the 2016 election, and it got worse in 2020. I see online where people have upwards of 100k rounds of it, and bragging about it. That's a lot of money...and they're being pigs about it.

I followed the link and have undoubtedly flagged up on a watch list somewhere :)

for rimfire???? why???
:o
who in hell is going to overthrow the government with a 22?
wait, i'm sorry. the trumpers might think that a 22 is a military grade caliber.
^ Nobody with a brain, that's for sure. It isn't just .22 ammo, though. There is little of anything left. I think my son said that there were a few boxes of some unusual rounds that probably only a handful of people use.

Don't worry, your entries on that watch list were so numerous that the database crashed long ago.

Nah, Midway is pretty tame. Check out ammoseek.com, the ammo search engine. Things have leveled off as far as availability, and prices may come down over time but things were crazy last year. Finding ammo was like eBay sniping. You couldn't fill in your payment information fast enough some days where stocks of 100 boxes of fifty rounds would sell out in minutes. Bulk shipments of 1,000 rounds were priced higher than single boxes. Nobody had any on a shelf that they would sell if you weren't also buying a gun chambered in it. Lots of stores were selling guns chambered in cartridges that simply could not be bought, even online.
Even now things have skewed so far towards NATO cartridges and defensive rounds that some things are extremely difficult to get. Last year you couldn't find buckshot to feed a twelve gauge but today you can't find anything but buckshot, to the point that one retailer listed five different makes of buckshot in their fall waterfowl special.
