AK-47: An Assault Rifle for Everyman - Gallery

The real flaw is in humans. If it wasn't the AK-47 then the killers would be using some other model of gun to kill.

Peace will come when people (including governments) decide to stop killing.

Although I understand and mostly agree with the proverbial "guns don't kill people, people kill people", there is something to be said about a weapon that was designed to kill people, be easy to maintain, cheap to mass produce , and easy to learn. All of the factors have contrubted to the ak-47's wide ranging use in every rebellion, conflict, freedom fight, etc in the last 50 years. There was no was that Kalashnakov could have known that his rifle would have been used for more than defending his motherland, the party saw to that by exporting it to every soviet satellite nation, but I don't think it would be out of the question for him to feel a tinge of guilt when he hears of child soldiers being handed the weapon to kill their fellow country man.

I think you need to take a good hard long look at the world. The Kalashnakov series of rifles have nothing to do with what people do too each other. It is political ideology and simple economics that put those rifles into the hands of every tinpot dictator and communist ####tard on the planet, aswell as "child" soldiers. If the M16 was the less expensive rifle you'd be seeing it on the news every night instead of the AK/AKM.
 
I don't know...I'm pretty happy with my 2 SKS's. They are non restricted/prohibited, and they are a damn site more accurate than the AK, from what I have seen and heard....
 
comparing an SKS to an AK47 is like comparing an AR180 to a M16. Different beasts altogether.

But nothing compares to the real deal. regardless of SA variant or not, the piston design is still a GOOD DESIGN ...
 
The AK-47/AKM will always be my favorite Firearm. Its so ugly and rugged that its ###y, its simple, and it goes bang a very good percentage of the time.

I understand why everyone and their dog "excluding firearm owners and soldiers" hate them. Simple, its been used by alot of BAD people around the world.

I wish the world would just wake the F up and realise that it does not matter what the gun or missle or bomb does or looks like. It's all about the people pointing and pulling the triggers.

People will be killing each other until the end of time.
Weather it's with a rock or with a Scud does not matter, Dead is dead.

I couldn't agree more, I do not think that Ak's should be prohibited in anyway. Hell, I don't see any reason why a law abiding citizen with no criminal record shouldn't be able to have a full auto.

If the m16 was in the place of the ak and I was eugene stoner I would feel a twinge of guilt when I saw news clips of someone using my invention for evil instead of the good I intended. No different some of the scientists who worked on the Manhattan project regretting inventing the atomic bomb.
 
Figures the two rifles I like the most are both impossible for everyday Joe Canuck to own.

The AK-47 and the Dragunov... the first the grandaddy of all Assault Rifles and tougher than a box full of nails, and the second a drop-dead ###y sharpshooter's rifle...

Iron and wood; it's the only way to go.

Actually, the grandfather of assault rifles would be the StG 44.
 
Having to carry AK in the army for 2 years, I think I am turned off by that gun forever. Nothing wrong with it, I think I just got sick of it. Actually I think I got sick of it before the army. We had to practice with them in school for 2 years. You were given 15 seconds to strip it and 40 seconds to put it back to get a good grade. When I was a kid, I always thought that M-16 was much more elegant looking rifle.

You poor baby.:( *cue violin music*

I might have gotten better grades in school if our curriculum was as interesting.:D

I seem to recall falling asleep while they were busy teaching us how not to offend anyone, and how as a white male I was responsible for all that was wrong with the World.:rolleyes:
 
MapleSugar,
Taking an AK apart was only a small part of that class. Most of it was marching, digging trenches, crawling in the mud, running with gas mask on and listening to a retired military officer lecturing us on how to protect yourself against American nuclear attack. We did some shooting too. Mostly .22. It was not that much fun. We mainly wanted to play soccer at that age. Actually throwing a grenade was for some reason a part of our physical education class. I remember every time someone would not throw far enough our teacher would scream: " You are going to Afghanistan next year. Throw a grenade like this there and you are going to die !!!". That was kind of funny.
