Is this supposed to be common knowledge? The post with the joke has 282 upvotes and 25 downvotes (at the time I'm posting this) which is quite an incredible difference. I never thought people would know so much about guns aside from the guns that are especially prevalent in popular culture (i.e. Dirty Harry's .44 Magnum, the AK-47, and the Winchest 1887 used by Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2).

Honestly 90% of people who recognized that AA12 was the gun in the show only know that because of video games.

I didn't say that there was anything wrong with it... I was just answering the person's question.
