Thank you and God bless you.
Good show with the Canadian.
I have had several debates (clip vs. magazine), here, over the years on this semmingly trivial, and yet, I think, importamt distinction.
While I am in agreement with you, the majority of our fellow freepers think I am being too pedantic, if not outright anal.
75 round drum magazines are fairly common for 7.62x39R AK variants... I have six of them myself. China, Russia, Yugoslavia and Romania all built them. The Chinese were imported in large numbers in the 80s and early 90s until Klinton banned further Chinese weapons importation. The Romanians are currently being imported in numbers. The Russian and especially the Yugo drums are rarer and were only brought in small quantities.

Everything you want to know about AKs before you purchase... I'm a mod over there and use the same handle.
"Group" and "pattern" are other confused terms novices use. Group is the extreme spread of rifle or pistol bullets, pattern is what shotgun pellets make on a target.
I hate being at a gun range shooting my rifle and some joker comes up and asks me what kind of pattern I am getting.
The same place they get 30 round AK-47 "clips."
I know what you mean.
Correct terminology does have a bearing on determining someone else's knowledge and competency, and I do like to know how much of both other people have when they around me with weaponry.
"Assault Rifle" seems to be the most misunderstood term of them all.
Well, I've got a select-fire Finnish AK, a Valmet M-76F in 5.56/.223. Very controllable in full auto, and very accurate in semi-auto. Absolutely love it.
You mean a selective fire, magazine fed, rifle or carbine chambered for a medium powered round?
(Damn! I forgot the bayonet! damn, damn, damn, Oh! Sh!t! and the dreaded flash suppressor!)
I'm assuming you mean the term is misunderstood by the non-shooting public, media, etc which probably covers about 98% of us.
Exactly what I mean. Lot's of folks think an M14 or an FAL is an assault rifle. Or an M1A. Or a semi-auto CETME G3.
Actually, an M2 .30 carbine would meet the definition.
