the terrorist, the guerrilla, the child soldier, the dictator, the drug
trafficker, and the thug as much as the professional soldier.
THE GUN by C. J. Chivers
THE GUN is a well-organized and fast-moving narrative that operates
at several levels. At the most basic level, Chivers focuses on the original
AK-47 and its many derivatives and companion firearms that have
flooded armories and arms bazaars around the world. He examines their
origins, design, production, distribution, stockpiling, export, and use as
one of the predominant instruments of war of the past half-century – a
status they are likely to retain for at least a half- century more. But he
seeks a larger context, and to equip the reader with a full understanding
of how war has evolved and where the assault rifle fits, he traces the
development of automatic weapons from the American Civil War
through two world wars, the Cold War, and Vietnam to the present day.
Chivers shows how the Kalashnikov became the product of evolutionary
processes in firearms and ammunition development and changes in
military and economic thinking that accompanied an industrializing and
polarizing world. But this is not merely the story of a weapon and where
it came from. It is a chronicle of how war has changed, a rich work of
history and a journey populated by geniuses and fools, ruthless villains
and naïve idealists, self-promoting salesmen and incorrigible profiteers,
a pantheon of killers of all stripes and, now and then, people who wanted
the killing to stop. The book‘s vivid and rigorously reported character
sketches – of expeditionary military leaders in the lopsided colonial
fighting in nineteenth-century Africa; of a famed arms designer who was
a trigamist and apparent draft dodger; of Winston Churchill reacting in
horror to industrialized war along the Nile; of the treacherous lives of
officials in Stalin‘s Soviet Union; of the first known guerrilla to carry a
Kalashnikov in an uprising, in Hungary in 1956; of an enraged young
Marine officer who stakes his name and his career in an act of
conscience; of a bodyguard shot by Iraqi assassins 23 times at close
range – make THE GUN a feat of storytelling, and elevate the story of
the AK-47 to an engaging history.
What is this rifle? At first glance, the new AK-47 was an oddity, a rifle

deviating from the classic forms in many ways. A midsized weapon that
fired a medium-sized cartridge, it was not powerful enough for long-
range sniping duty, but it could push out blistering automatic fire for the
length of two or three football fields. As American Marines found in
Vietnam, a single guerrilla with a Kalashnikov could slow an entire
company‘s advance. It was so reliable, even when soaked in water and
coated with sand, that its Soviet testers had trouble making it jam. It was
so simple that it could be disassembled and reassembled by schoolboys
in less than thirty seconds flat. Weighing less than ten pounds and easily
concealed, it was an eminently well-conceived killing tool, which could
be easily wielded with efficiency even by the small of stature, the
mechanically disinclined, the dimwitted, or the untrained.
Stalin’s Contest: The Invention of the AK-47
Drawing on years of research, a trove of exclusive sources, and
declassified documents from both the West and the East – as well as on
battlefield reportage and interviews with revolutionaries, terrorists, child
soldiers, arms dealers, conventional grunts, and Mikhail Timofeyovich
Kalashnikov, the man credited with the weapon‘s design – Chivers
travels the world, establishes a firm historical record, and demolishes
many myths about the AK-47. Legend claims that it was born out of an
epiphany at the workbench of a Russian sergeant, Mikhail Kalashnikov,
who was competing in a weapon design contest in Stalin‘s Soviet Union.
In fact, the acronym AK-47 abbreviates two Russian words, avtomat
kalashnikova (Kalashnikov‘s automatic), which pays tribute to this
proletarian hero of Soviet propaganda. The numerals signify the year the
Soviet army accepted the prototype for mass production.
But as Chivers shows, the political, military, and industrial system of the
Soviet state was the real inventor – both of the AK-47 and its fables.
Chivers also reveals how the United States, the incubator for rapid-fire
arms in the nineteenth century, repeatedly misread the path of
automatic arms development in the twentieth, leaving American soldiers
and Marines badly outgunned by the 1960s. The Vietnam chapter is
rooted in ground-breaking reporting and research that reveals the fullest
story ever documented of the debacle of the Pentagon‘s introduction of
the M-16 (a hurried reaction to the AK-47). The chapter uncovers sham
science and official embarrassment and folly, including secret U.S. Army
–lethality? tests against decapitated human heads and severed human
legs from India. The tests had been covered up for almost five decades.
The chapter also reveals internal memos and correspondence from the
manufacturer, as well as secret Pentagon correspondence, showing that
the men who pushed the early M-16 into service knew it was a faulty
weapon that needed to be reworked, and yet sent the rifles to Vietnam
nonetheless and kept quiet about their choices as the rifles failed in the
hands of G.I.s.
Chivers rejects all myths, and resists repeating the received wisdom
surrounding the world‘s most visible and abundant firearm. He explains
how the Kalashnikov became the most important line of firearms in
history not simply because they work well and are easy to handle, but
because Warsaw Pact military standardization mandates and their
production in planned economies assured they were manufactured in
outsized quantities. As its numbers grew and reputation spread, and as
the Kremlin and the White House realized that their stockpiles of nuclear
Today’s Tabbloid PERSONAL NEWS FOR news@ammoland.com
weapons had made total war unwinnable, Stalin‘s rifle became the
defining weapon of the Cold War. Small wars and proxies would be the
means through which the Cold War would be fought – and the automatic
Kalashnikov would be the perfect weapon with which to fight it. –The
Kalashnikov Era had arrived,? Chivers writes. –We are living in it still.?
Everyman’s Gun
With its stubby black barrel, dull brown stock, and distinctive banana
clip, the Kalashnikov is the most recognized weapon in the world. It has
been used prolifically not only in armed clashes but also in political art
and ritual displays. More than a weapon, it has also become a symbol –
first of the industrial success of Stalin‘s Soviet Union and the socialist
way, later of popular insurrection, armed liberation, gangland stature,
and most recently of jihad. Kalashnikovs guard South American coca
plantations, serve urban gangs in Los Angeles, are hoarded by
survivalists in the northwestern United States, and have been used by
ivory poachers to nearly exterminate elephant herds in Africa.
As Chivers observes, in the aftermath of the Cold War, the
overabundance of AK-47s has remained a persistent factor in terrorism,
crime, ethnic cleansing, and local and regional destabilization. The
weapon‘s ubiquitous presence empowers undisciplined forces to commit
human rights abuses on a grander scale, raises the costs and exacerbates
the dangers of peacekeeping missions, emboldens criminals of many
sorts, stalls economic development, and increases the social burdens of
caring for the wounded, the orphaned, and the displaced. Shipped by the
millions to regions rife with the tensions of poverty, poor government,
and high ethnic, religious, or nationalist sentiment, the AK-47 has
helped to instigate and expand conflicts.
Ominously, specialists in armed conflict look to the price of Kalashnikovs
in a nation‘s open-market arms bazaars to determine the state of risk.
When prices rise, public anxiety is considered high. When they sink, the
decline can indicate a conflict is ebbing. Chivers, a veteran of combat
zones around the globe as both reporter and Marine, writes, –Anywhere
large numbers of young men in civilian clothes or mismatched uniforms
are carrying Kalashnikovs is a very good place not to go; when
Kalashnikovs turn up in the hands of mobs, it is time to leave.? The
Twenty-first Century’s Rifle
The AK-47 is a Cold War weapon with a legacy as yet unresolved, a
legacy that continues to threaten people and security across much of the
world. Chivers proposes that because governments have focused
elsewhere, Kalashnikovs and the people who have put them to ill use
have killed and maimed more people, and dragged many regions deeper
into disarray, than they might have otherwise. He looks at certain
programs that have met with limited success in ameliorating the effects
of assault rifle proliferation. But, unaligned with any interest group or
side, he leaves the question of the best means of relief and abatement –
of methods that might bring a degree of peace and stability to many
troubled lands – to other hands.
With THE GUN, award-winning reporter C. J. Chivers gives us a
gripping, exhaustively researched, and far- reaching assessment of the
most important weapon of our time. It is sure to be of intense interest to
3

readers fascinated by military and international affairs, the history of
firearms, the legacy of the Soviet Union, the evolution of modern
warfare, or of a well-told tale that furthers an understanding of the world
today. And with its probing historical analysis, vivid reportage, and
provocative moral dimension, it will be equally compelling to those
concerned with the origins, dynamics, and resolution of global conflict.
–Far too many people regard the study of weapons as an illiberal art,?
Chivers writes. –The chronicle of automatic firepower, viewed through
the AK-47 and its infiltration across the world, suggests otherwise.?

When is a Rifle a Pistol?
OCT 29, 2010 01:40P.M.
When is a Rifle a Pistol?
Mini-14/30 Folding Stock Style Rifle
Michigan Coalition For Responsible Gun Owners
Michigan - -(Ammoland.com)- Q: I have a rifle with a folding stock. I
understand that it is legal under federal law since the so-called “Assault
Rifle Ban” expired in 2004. But, I’ve been told that I should register the
gun as a pistol in Michigan. Is this true?
A: The answer to the question of legality under federal law depends
solely on barrel length. The answer to whether a given gun is legal in
Michigan is a bit more complicated.
At the federal level, the National Firearms Act (NFA), which has been
around since the 1930′s, arbitrarily set the limits at 16 inches for a rifle
and 18 inches for a shotgun. The reasons are lost in the mists of time.
But, the law remains.
So, you are in violation of federal law if you are in possession of a rifle
(with any type of shoulder stock) that has a barrel of less than 16 inches,
unless you’ve applied for, and received, an appropriate tax document.
(The length measurement has been construed by ATF to include any
flash suppressor or muzzle brake that is permanently attached.) The
same is true of any shotgun with a barrel of less than 18″.
Under the more-restrictive Michigan law, any gun with an overall length
of less than 30 inches is a pistol, and must be licensed and registered (the

so-called “safety inspection”). Back in 1985, then Attorney General AMMOLAND.COM SHOOTING SPORTS NEWS

MCL 28.421 et seq, as well as MCL 750.224b et seq) It states that if a Mexico Mayors & CNN Blame
folding-stock weapon is capable of functioning at a length less than 30
inches, it is a pistol. This applies even though the gun may have a stock American Guns First
attached, and therefore would not be considered a pistol under federal OCT 29, 2010 12:33P.M.
law.
Mexico Mayors & CNN Blame American Guns First
Furthermore, if the gun is capable of functioning at a length less than 26
inches, it is considered a “short-barreled” rifle or shotgun, even if the
barrel itself meets the minimum federal length requirements under
federal law as noted above. “Short-barreled” rifles and “short-barreled”
shotguns are illegal in Michigan. Manufacturing, selling or possessing
them is a felony punishable by imprisonment of up to 5 years and/or a
fine of up to $2,500.

To sum up: The magic numbers under federal law are minimum barrel
lengths of 16 inches for a rifle and 18 inches for a shotgun. The magic
numbers for Michigan are overall length requirements: Under 30 inches
folded, and still able to shoot, register it as a pistol. But, under no
circumstances can your gun be able to operate at a length of less than 26
inches if it has any kind of shoulder stock attached to it, folded or not.

Of course, there is no minimum size for a pistol that has no shoulder

stock and is properly registered as a pistol.

Charlotte, NC --(Ammoland.com)- Well, just when you think you have
heard just about everything.
Fox News reports that “A coalition of Mexican mayors has asked the
United States to stop deporting illegal immigrants who have been
convicted of serious crimes in the U.S. to Mexican border cities, saying
the deportations are contributing to Mexican border violence.”
Apparently, the mayor of Juarez — the world’s most murder-plagued
city, across the border from low-crime El Paso where Americans are able
to buy and carry guns for protection — said “that of the 80,000 people
deported to Juarez in the past three years, 28,000 had U.S. criminal
records — including 7,000 convicted rapists and 2,000 convicted
murderers.”
This, on the heels of a CNN story noting that Mexico’s foreign minister,
Patricia Espinosa, has claimed that violence in the United States is not
related to illegal Mexican immigrants, but that Mexico’s violence is
caused by guns smuggled into Mexico from the United States.

Sporting Classics Magazine
Columbia, SC --(AmmoLand.com)- The city of London is big. Really

big.
Over seven million residents. Nearly 12,000 folks per square mile.
Like New York City, it’s wide-open, sizzling, rocking and rolling around-
the-clock. On the other hand, Kathy and I are not big-city types.
Got a stoplight and a Wal-Mart? That’s big enough city for us.
After a couple of days visiting midtown gunshops, watching The Queen’s
Cavalry, staring at Buckingham Palace, shopping at Harrod’s and
dodging vehicles driving on the wrong side of the road (I was hit by a
bicycle and was called several names), we were ready for some fresh
scenery. So when Andrew Harvison, owner of Holloway & Naughton and
Premier English Shotguns Ltd., invited us out to the English countryside
for the day, we were happy to oblige.
Tuesday morning, after a quick bite at the Cartref House Bed and
Breakfast in London, we grabbed a cab to Marylebone Station to catch
the train out to High Wycombe about 30 miles northwest of the city.
Along the way we watched the landscape change from urban sprawl to
quaint hamlets, rolling pastures, forests, hedgerows and classic English-
style farmhouses. This was more our cup of tea.
When the train stopped at High Wycombe station, our host greeted us
warmly before driving us out to West Wycombe Park where his gun-
finishing work is done.
Well-dressed, well-spoken and well-mannered, Andrew Harvison is the
classic English gentleman, but with an even more relaxed demeanor.
That’s attributable to his preference for the country life as opposed to the
fast pace of “The Square Mile.” In fact, no portion of the Holloway and
Naughton operation is located in London, but every gun is 100-percent
English made. That was one of Harvison’s goals when he rekindled the
firm’s trademark.
“We made up our mind to design our own products and then
take them to the market,” he said as we rode through the
countryside toward West Wycombe,” rather than jumping on
the bandwagon of copying someone else’s design, or indeed,
using somebody else’s components.
“We employ twelve people total,” Harvison added. “Our
engineering base is in Leicestershire, where we employ four
craftsmen who design and build components. The parts are
then sent to outworkers. Barrels are put together with actions
at one place, then on to stockers and engravers.
“The outworkers then send the components back to us, and
after all the bearing surfaces and other fine details are
inspected, the guns are assembled and we add the finishing
touches. The entire process can take up to two years per gun,
though we are seeking ways to shorten that time-frame.”
One of Andrew’s favorite workshops is the one tucked away at West

many sold in the U.S., India, Australia as well as Britain.

During the war, production ceased as the workforce was called to war.
The factory was annihilated in a bombing raid on Birmingham, and all
plans, blueprints, machinery and records were lost. During the following
40 years only a few boxlock guns were made.

In the early 1990s Harvison resurrected not only the brand, but also the
high standards set by the early Holloway & Naughton craftsmen. Today,
with his unwavering attention to every detail, be it a shotgun or rifle,
Andrew Harvison is being taken very seriously in the gun world.

“Would you care to shoot some sporting clays with the Britannia?” he
asked. I thought about it for roughly one-thousandth of a second before
answering in the affirmative. Andrew broke the sidelock over-and-under,
looked down the glistening barrels, then passed it to me. I studied the

Soon, Harvison, Max Jellicoe, one of Churchill’s many shooting

instructors, Kathy and I were walking along lush green pathways to the
course to give the Britannia a try. Jellicoe and Harvison had previously
run several rounds through the gun, and had no doubts about its
performance. They wanted to see how this American, who swore he was
only an average shooter, would handle it.

The first thing I noticed was the Britannia’s balance and how it mounted
perfectly to my shoulder and eye. With a few tips from the two
instructors nearby, my shooting was, well, simply smashing! If I could

OCT 29, 2010 09:44A.M.
Direct Components Announces the First & Only Black Tactical
Light
Direct Components UVGS7 Black Tactical Light
Direct Components
Lake Forest, CA --(Ammoland.com)- The highly anticipated UVGS7
has made its launch September 7th. UVGS7 is the first and only Black
Tactical Light on the market.
Released earlier this month by Direct Components, the UVGS7 is the
latest in a new concept of aiming light technology which provides
maximum safety and flexibility in critical situations, rapid target
acquisition and all the benefits of IR lasers without the use of optics.
“Based on our proprietary laser design technology, this new
ultraviolet diode laser operates with low amplitude noise,
higher target fluorescence, tight focal length, shorter Rayleigh
length and extremely low power consumption in a compact
laser housing” says Steve Mencanin Direct Components
President and CEO.
15
30 October 2010
The laser is nearly invisible to the naked eye until the beam hits the
target; due to higher energetic frequency target materials fluoresce to
user, and not the target. Designed to improve range and visibility in day
and night conditions, UVGS7 offers faster target acquisition, zero beam
track back, no effect on night vision and is fifty times more visible than
any green laser aiming light on the market.
Direct Components UVGS7 Black Tactical Light
Due the unique properties of the UVGS7 UV spectrum laser, users will be
able to recognize the beam faster, in day or night settings, than a red or
green laser, never lose track of the beam in a heavy action situation and
the target will not be able to track the beam back to the user.
Mencanin says” These unique UV properties make the
UVGS7 the safest and most effective aiming light in the
world.”
Mencanin also boasts, “That in conjunctions with all of the
safety and accuracy features the rugged devices remains
light-weight and meets the MIL-STD-810G requirements for
reliability under harsh conditions.”
Available for handguns, M-4, M-16, AR-15 and other weapon confirming
to the MIL- SPEC 1913 rail. UVGS7 comes in four versions the 5mW,
50mW, 100mW and 150mW.
Features include: rugged aerospace aluminum housing (MIL-SPEC
Type III hard coat anodized), power warning indicator, multiple user
modes, light weight, no rail equipped fore grip required, “Bread Crumb”
capability, and ultralow parallax. Manufactured in the U.S.A. this patent
pending device comes with mounting hardware, battery & 7 inches
remote cable switch.
