Gotta laugh at the people pumping what a great gun the AK47
is / was!
The AK47 is a pray and spray firearm, except 98% of those spraying don’t believe in the Christian God or any God.
The AK47 is a simple machine, so simple even the uneducated masses that buy it can keep it operating by cannibalizing parts off the thousands laying around.
That is what the Russians wanted: a firearm that was as cheap to produce as it was to train their soldiers. The whole idea was that the Soviet soldier was expendable and ignorant, therefore don’t arm him with anything that is expensive or hard to repair.
Seems the ignorant still think they are fine guns...
I guess that depends upon what your definition of 'fine' is, doesn't it?
You are welcome to your opinion, however don't be surprised if I think of you as a nimrod of sorts.
The ak-47 has stood the test of time. If I had to pick one weapon to keep me alive in bad times, the ak is my choice.
