Show me a picture of an AK that looks like the one on the ground — shortened silver barrel air tube and all — that part of the gun that he said he saw pointing at him.
I won’t hold my breath.
lulz, wut?!
You don't know what you're talking about.
There's no silver barrel; you're looking at the bolt carrier through the ejection port. Bolt carriers on AKs are left "in the white" and look "silver."
The "air (gas) tube" is the shorter "second barrel" on top. It has not been shortened.
The barrel has, like I said, to get rid of the orange tip.
You don't think anyone, including any criminals have ever cut down an AK barrel? That's idiotic.
Please, don't try to sound smart when you are talking out of your ass.
Do an image search on “AK-47 stock” and you will find a hundred variations of stocks and there are lots of aftermarket barrels for them too.
