Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am reading this wikepedia thing on the AK-47: [link]
In general, to produce a big wound, a bullet should either tumble (yaw) or break apart upon entering a body. The round fired by the AK-47 doesn't always do this:
Depending on where the bullet impacts and at what depth it yaws, the AK-47 is capable of producing a range of wounding effects. In the absence of yaw, the M43 load can pencil through lung tissue with relatively little injury.[27] On a direct hit to the cranium, hydrostatic shock can cause the head to explode.[28] Even in the absence of yaw and a large temporary cavity, a hit to the shoulder can produce significant lung hemorrhaging attributed to stress wave transmission.
So, aim for the head, not the lungs.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
whoot! sold a book. I also just packed a box. kinda silly, I know, but it was all lightweight bulky kitchen stuff that I don't need out.
dinner used up some frozen sausage, a little flour and perishables. not the best I could have done, but at least not buying anything.
11.5 weeks to go.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Our wings are not tired.
You guys! We're starting to get in patient reports and it's so incredibly thrilling to hear about people's pain scores going from a "8 or 9" to a "1 or 2" within days of treatment. I am so fucking psyched. My grandfather would be so proud. What kills me is that some of them say their Shingles pain is so bad that they're not even *bothering* with the lidocaine topical anesthetic beforehand - they say that *nothing* could be worse than the pain they've already got! That is an incomprehensible amount of pain (to me).
(I have to be careful about what I divulge in public, but this is all being written about for public use anyway.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
javachik, that's so wonderful. Pain reduction for the win!

It's not like you can really aim an AK. You can only point in a general direction.

I am literally bouncing on my office chair as I type this, I am that excited.
All of the stuff I've worked on in biotechs before this one was more abstract, it was hard to get too excited. But pain? I can relate to pain! And the patients are so thankful. One brought a fruit basket to her doctor the next day!
