(Stupid Pointless Vanity)Question for Gun Lovers(Vanity)
me | 2/17/06 | me

Posted on 02/17/2006 1:30:11 PM PST by birbear

I'm working on a piece of fiction and I can't seem to find this using Google. I'm sure some our gun enthusiasts would know.

What's the standard rifle of the North Korean Army?

Thanks.

I "think" ...at least right now, it's the Kalishnikov AK-47, or at least a N. Korean version of it.

Don't know but Chicom AK-47's would be my guess, same as the North Vietnamese used.

I'm only guessing, but it's probably the Chinese version (copy) of the AK-47, unless they carry a semi-auto of some kind as standard issue.

>>South Korean intelligence originally thought the eleven had died in a suicide pact, but now believe they were murdered by their fellow commandos. The AK-47 rifles, standard equipment in North Korea, were found on the scene.<<

Yes, could be the AK-74!

Doesn't the Chinese rip-off of the AK-47 start with an "S"?

Well, NK is so broke that their rifle might involve rubber bands. /humor

I'm sure, given the nature of the Chinese and how they do things, they have SEVERAL versions with multiple different designations.........
