The AK-47 is favourite weapon of them bastards in the IRA!
RTE, Ireland's state owned (cringe) broadcaster, likes to think that Hibernofascists are different from Islamofascists, so they call the gun 'AK-47' when the Provos use it, and 'Kalashnikov' when the Muzzies use it!!
Note to RTE: AK means Automatic Kalashnikov.
Geez, I feel so parochial.
Who are the Hibernofascists and the Provos?
