Though i do not have much experiance with AK's i do know that with a mag. inserted in the weapon there is no way to tell if it is loaded or not. That is why you need to clear a weapon by bring the bolt back and looking up the barrel. So a weapon with a mag could be completly loaded or have 1 round or none and the only way to tell is to drop the mag and look.
I am not sure on the safty though. I do not think it can be seen from the front (i.e. if it was aimed at you)

Thanks for confirming what I thought.

Sure there is, shoot him and then check it...
