[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 434339, member: 15748"] I don't recall for certain whether that was NBC or not, but I do remember the segment you're referring to. The same network also ran video of watermelons exploding violently while supposedly being shot with AK-47s during one of CAs many anti-gun jihads. You couldn't turn on the news without seeing watermelons blowing up. It was Col. Marty Fackler, MD, then head of the army's wound ballistics lab that forced them to admit that the watermelons didn't explode like they wanted them to when actually shot with an AK-47s, so they reshot them with something that was more dramatic. What they finally did to get their point across was to film watermelons being shot with 7mm Rem Mags using varmint bullets, and THAT was the footage they were showing on the news. All the while (deliberately) giving the impression that those violent explosions were the result of 7.62x39mm FMJs out of an AK. Is it just me, or does anyone else think that it's just wrong for a news outlet to have a special effects department? Kevin Thomas Lapua USA [/QUOTE]
