Are the Rooskies the only people who can or do put out that model of gun?
"The AK-47 has made it into the Guinness Book of Records as the most widely spread weapon in the world, with 100 million Kalashnikov rifles currently in use. "
The AK is and has been produced many, many places, with a spectrum of quality. I understand that East German-built variants are thought by some to be some of the higher-quality versions.
I personally prefer the much higher quality and greater accuracy of AR variants, but if you wanna start a revolution somewhere, the AK is your gun.
