[quote=“Artyom177, post:45, topic:10035”]God damn I love it!
I love that AK but one problem… Its an AK, they don’t jam… Ever. I’ve seen an AK-47 in one of those old bomb shelters back in the day during the cold war. The entire shelter collapsed and took everything inside with it (it was 50 feet below the ground) and the only thing that came out was an AK-47. I don’t know how the guy who had the shelter got one, but he did. And I went along with some people to the range for some target practice, and brought the AK with me. No one thought it would shoot. It had no stock, the release catch was busted, No front site, the wood on it (whats left of it) was rotten and about to fall apart.
Next thing I know i’m blowing through box after box of 7.62x39 surplus that’s all being spewed out by this AK…
After all that I fell in love with the damn thing. I replaced the broken and rotten parts and added a skeletal stock to it. Its now part of my BOB (Bug out Bag) so when shit hits the fan I have a vintage AK that survived over 50 years underground… Russia might be a cold, retarded country filled with drunkards but they sure do know how to make a gun…
I also might make that GTR… Never know.[/quote]
It’s surprising how reliable AKs IRL are, considering the fact that they were made to be cheap and easily manufactured. One would expect a 50 year old AK to break, but it just… Doesn’t.
[Quote=Wikipedia]The AK-47 was designed to be a cheap, simple, easy to manufacture assault rifle, perfectly matching Soviet military doctrine that treats equipment and weapons as disposable items. As units are often deployed without adequate logistical support and dependent on “battlefield cannibalization” for resupply, it is actually more cost-effective to replace rather than repair weapons.[/Quote]
