This rifle firing its original cartridge is not as lethal as its supporters like to think. It has plenty of ballistic energy for an assault-rifle type cartridge but the fat, short and typically hard slugs are known to pass right through soft tissue like a high-powered knitting needle.
If you have to shoot somebody with this rifle try to hit a vital organ and be prepared to keep shooting. A soft-point .30-30 which has about the same ballistic energy as the AK round produces terrible wounds.

Most of the weapon's downfalls have been taken out with the AK-100/103 and AK-74M series.

Iconic weapon Must be iconic, if it can be used as sculpture. Most symbolic of rifles.

I'll take one of these over an AK anyday.
