Question:

Only 2 smoke detectors and 1 is broken, landlord absent?

Long story short:We have 2 bedrooms, eat in kitchen and a living room. We have only 1 smoke detector currently working at the end of the living room/hallway leaving out of the apartment. 2 rooms are missing a fire detector (each). We recently had an incident where the entire spiral area of the building outside of the apartments had filled up with heavily gassed smell. It literally reeked of gas.I was thinking of adding a few carbon monoxide detectors too, what do you think?I have no choice but to live in this building for at least another 1.5 - 2 years. I have absolutely nowhere else to go. PLEASE offer some advice, should I call 311 and have the state check this out? Can anyone offer a step by step procedure? Walk me through it and I'll do it.As a final note, the 1 broken smoke detector in the apartment has been PROMISED to be fixed for a full year now. We had a broken window that the landlord promised to fix and it took a year also. The landlord is a useless piece of $h!t.Thanks in advance.

In the first place, we aren't the YAMMERS as referred. We are just contributors of Yahoo! Answers Malaysia, which logically kind the phrase YAM. To be a member, you're logically known as YAMmer (agree?) So, that explains why we aren't poor losers. We're just winners in each case. Supply me three loud cheers!!! _
You can't spray rounds full auto during CQB - you need better accuracy than that. That only happens on computer games. In reality if someone did it? That guy would geat beat up and kicked out of his team for endangering them. So rate of fire is irrelevant - as MR 357 said, one shot per pull is it. The traits needed are - reliablity, versatility, able to accept optics/night fighting equipment etc, range flexibility - not all rooms are tiny and you might get hit on the approach. Clearing a warehouse with an MP5 is not ideal. The rifle needs to be a suitable caliber - for example the 5.7 is useless for CQB. It is slow to kill and likely to penetrate too deep into the building. It also needs to be ergonomic. The AK is terrible for instance - even with a ton of training, the mag change on an AK will always be slower than an M4 - you need to be able to easily work the safety in gloves without taking a hand off the weapon. Stock MP5's also fail at that - after market safeties can fix it, but it is a design flaw. Lastly but not leastly, the length is important. Too long a rifle is a disaster waiting to happen.
