Jesus! How did he get an AK-47 in the first place? And why take it to your wedding? Only an idiot would try to fire it rambo style in real life.

...and I thought MY toilet functions were complicated...

i was so constipated in basic it might have taken the Big Cat Thunderbolt to loosen it
in many 3rd world countries an AK-47 is like an american having a TV set. in the boonies there are no cops to call. disputes are settled the "old fashioned way"

In my service it was the number one golden rule never to point a weapon at anyone, even if you know the safety is on or it isn't loaded: and these guys take loaded automatic weapons to a wedding and fire it on full auto in the close proximity of families and children, it beggars belief.

 

[mikewint]

yup, here too, yet accidents still happened and if you are unfamiliar with the barrel rise on full auto it's like loosing control of a fire hose. i doubt if he deliberately pointed at anyone, most likely up in the air and one handed and i am very sure goodly amounts of alcohol were involved
