He was offered an older AK47 along with an extra clip of ammunition.   Looking a bit tentative he was given a crash course introduction to it.   Target practice included a capybara that had the misfortune of swimming near some taller weeds on the opposite side of the river.   Diego was surprised how little kickback there was from the rifle becoming fairly adjusted to its recoil.   Satisf...
