The AK47 is a good weapon and a marvel of design and manufacturing engineering. It is normally issued to people who can't hit anything at over 250 yards anyway. The range from the tank commander's hatch on my last M48A3 to the back deck where the fuel fillers were is only about 8 feet. For serious shooting at that distance, an AK does just fine, but power and reliability are also absolute must-haves, and the AK47 and AKM have those attributes as well.

Im no tanker, but picture looks like Viet Nam. I was there for a while, pretty rear echelon as I wasn't even killed. I am glad you got them before they got you. The AK47 is a good reliable and effective weapon.
