Kick ass gun made by a russian weapons designer by the name of Kalashnikov. It's the
weapon of choice of the third world, dictator militias in developing countries, coup d'etats, gangs, and just about anyone who wants an inexpensive, durable, SMG
performance rifle that's feared by every law enforcement group in the world (except for russian police, AK's are a standard issue there).
They fire the mid-sized but powerful 7.62x39 mm round at a mid-range fire rate, but
the shiznit they punch out makes an american m-4 look like it's airsoft counterpart. This advantage is even complimented with the ease of use of the gun, easy found ammo, and durability of the carbine. You can literally throw a kalashnikov in the mud and stuff it with sand and fire it after without any jamming or messing of the barrel.
However, the AK isn't much of of a long range advocate. With open iron sights and warping wood stocks, you can't really trust the aim of the gun at any moment. But hell, that's where the phrase "spray and sweep" gets it's name from. Unload a 30 clip in
the general direction of your target and your bound to put at least 5 rounds into em.
1) ...Oh, shit, it's Wayne Brady! The man's gotta AK! run for it-Kak! kak! kak!... (gets shot thrice
in the back from the drive by)
2) hah,
look at this, just got this new AK-47 from Don Jose in Monterrey. He buys 'em
straight cash from Cuba: $150 a piece. Can't beat it...
