No you're right, the SLR has never been fired in anger.

That rolling-eye's smiley sometimes denotes sardonic humour. IOW, he's taking the pish out of the post above.

Lets ignore the fact that 7.62 soviet is a totally different round to 7.62 NATO shall we.

It isn't even 7.62mm. In fact the bullet diameter of 7.62 NATO isn't for that matter! :D

please see my previous thread on throwing cylumes as tracer!

At the risk of being repetitive - or controversial - if you're going to suggest bringing back the SLR why not go the whole hog and revive the Lee-Enfield Mk4 .303?
I was out-gunned in Aden, by at least 250 yards, when using the SLR by the locals using WWII .303s. :(
The 5.56 Armalites we used in Borneo were OK (I've never seen a human/5.56 collision but they certainly worked on crocs, pigs and water buffalo), but most of the time the 12 bore Remington was preferred...
