7.62X39 and Iraq

[Bling Bling 2.0]

Would you bet your life on captured ammo and munitions that may have dubious QA / QC and may or may not function, and could possibly be overcharged / undercharged, boobytrapped or rigged to explode on use? or would you rather have ammo and munitions that you know will work?

Didnt US forces in Vietnam boobytrap and leave some munitions that we "captured / found" so that the owners would try to use them and have a nasty surprise?

never bet your life on the other mans weapon or munitions, use yours first and his as a last resort.

I dunno... Betting my life on an AK sounds better than betting my life on a vietnam era AR. In combat I'd take reliability over accuracy any day. Newer AR's are much better but it took a good 6 months before my bushmaster would cycle an entire magazine. My MAK-90 has only had 1 jam in over 5k rounds. Scoreboard doesn't lie.

But your point about boobytrapped cache's is a very good point.
