For some reason the thread title reminded of “Heartbreak Ridge” with Clint Eastwood using an AK 47 with live rounds to whip a ragtag recon group into a solid unit.
Any marines here see that movie and how realistic/far from realistic was it? :)
Love the movie, but I know Hollywood takes license, to say the least!
Too bad IO makes the worst quality AKs. THE WORST. I’m talking real trash. Rivets not sunk right, gas blocks walk out, seen one try to explode after its 4th round. One would be much better off buying a WASR10
Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It’s the world’s most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn’t break, jam, or overheat. It’ll shoot whether it’s covered in mud or filled with sand. It’s so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people’s greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars.
IO’s are for people that enjoy feeling their receiver breath like a lung when firing.
