Take a moment to remember that its cheaper to buy a real AK than a high quality replica/prop
I mean yeah, you can get them for almost nothing in Africa/ME.
Just don't try bringing it back home.
@Nathan Brown i don't think they would be scared of the AK any more than other weapons of the same type.

*This man uses words like weapons*
Fun fact: while the stg was an influence to the design of the ak47, the main influence was an m1 garand, while they don’t look similar, their mechanics are very similar
I was gonna say; while the Sturmgewehr influenced the basic layout and intermediate rifle cartridge concept, the gas system and action of the AK has a lot more in common with the Garand. (Long stroke piston with a rotating bolt that has 2 locking lugs)
As a side note, look at the safety lever on a Remington Model 8 and tell me that doesn’t look a little familiar lol
How many Garands did the Russians even SEE? They had their own effective self-loading rifle with the SVT-40.

Kalashnikov: Yes.
Hah true.
АК-47 это Автомат, АК, так и расшифруется Автомат Калашникова.
more like:
Kalashinkov: "This is the AK-47."
World: "What it it? A *Submachine Gun?* A rifle? A Machine Gun?"
Kalashnikov: "Yes."
People have made DMR variants of the AK, notably in Yugoslavia and Iraq.
A well-made AK can be a quite effective gun.

"Any faults that do occur, could probably be fixed with a hammer"
The weapon equivalent of a volvo 240
asgsg gasfs I remember seeing a video of a man firing an AK until the wood on it caught on fire and it completely burned away. He then kept firing it until the bolt stopped working. To fix this issue he let the weapon cool. Took it apart saw the barrel was slightly bent. Repeatedly banged it against a table, until fixed and fired a drum mag through it, and it was completely fixed.

The “Lord of war” references are so abundant, just play the scene where Nick Cage is talking about the ak
It is one of its most famous depictions
"Of all the weapons in the Soviet arsenal nothing was as profitable as the Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947, better known as the AK-47 or Kalashnikov.
Its the world's most popular assault rifle, a weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood.
It doesn't break, jam, or overheat, it will shoot if it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy a child could use it...... and they do.
The Soviets put the gun on a coin, Mozambique put the gun on their flag.
Since the end of the cold war the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's number 1 export, after that comes vodka, caviar and suicidal novelists.
One things for sure though, no one was lining up to buy their cars."

@Lukas Engel This video is mostly wrong
@@swietoslaw no it isn't? It's pretty accurate to what the russians went through with their AKs. the original AK-47 was very much a flawed weapon that needed improvements to some very important parts (like the early m16s). It was just mass produced until they could make a better version of it which became the AKM, then they went to the AK74, and now to the 100 brand of AKs with whatever they're testing to replace that next. Unless you're talking about very specific things he never even touched on, what he has said about the AK and it's variants is almost all correct
@@D00000T In fact dude in this video say something thing quiet opposite, ;), or about how its cheap and easy to manufacture or how its super reliable etc I even wanted write a long post about all wrong statments buts its just to much work :P
That and the M1911
So my high school in Vietnam sends us to a military training center for one week every year, and in my 2nd year we got to study and tinker with these. As students in a country where firearms are illegal to civillians, we were understandably excited when we got to hold these with our own hands. The AK has this sort of allure and ominousness to it. We were holding a real weapon of war in our hands, we were supposed to fear it, yet here we stood, admiring how oddly beautiful it looked and how satisfyingly hefty it felt on our hands. The gun was incredibly easy to work on as well. Us inexperienced high school students could dissasemble then reassembled it in under 30 seconds. It truly is such a wonderful weapon that I'm a bit dissapointed that I may never get to hold it in my hands again
If you travel to ukraine after this covid thing is over, you can shoot one of these in some tours. Just make sure to learn the language and have friends there that can tell who you can trust.
Ukraine has many other cool stuff to do though, they just don't hype themselves up or spend much money encouraging tourism.

Funny thing about the AK47 is that actual AK47s are pretty rare today. If you were to find an actual, honest to Kalashnikov himself factory-"new" AK47, you could get rich selling that off.
Majority of the 7.62mm AKs you find in the hands of irregulars and really elsewhere, are AKMs, which was the variant of the AK that was mass produced at absurdly high numbers for the Soviet armed forces.
Good enough.
@Duck Go Quacks No it was really just milling receivers was really pricey
@Old Liquid 7.62x39mm of the original AK-47 was used in the AKM until about 1974.

LOL
+shinarit Knives belong there too.
asdfghjkl is the knife a typically Soviet tool?
shinarit A knife is a typical everywhere tool, like hammers, sickles and AKs.
asdfghjkl then I don't think you understood the reference.
As an owner I can say it’s got some kick. The accuracy you see in video games on full auto is optimistic at best.
The penetration and stopping power of the 7.62 isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Not all enemies stand in front of you. Most people hide behind stuff when you shoot at them. The ak74 allowed for a much higher ammo capacity to be carried per soldier due to the smaller size and weight. This increasing their fighting effectiveness.
If you have jelly arms, yes. Holding a rifle that's pushed away one meter from your body because you're fat is a real first world problem lol.
At least it's cushioned lmao 😂
Full auto AKs are almost impossible to get so there's really no need to worry about full auto accuracy.
Bro you cant shoot any rifle fully automatic and expect to hit your targets 30/30 of the times.
It has kick, but you got jelly arms
AK on full auto really doesn't have that much recoil at all. I have shot them. Granted you aren't going to be hammering a 10cm target at 400 yards on full auto, but it's absolutely stable enough in closer distances. AK-74 on the other hand with the muzzle brake is incredible, less recoil than a AR, that thing is a laserbeam even full auto.

"It's not the most accurate weapon, nor the most elegant - but it simply doesn't have to be. It's good enough. It excels where fighters need it most. It's reliable: stoppages are rare, and any faults that do occur can probably be fixed with a hammer. It's simple to use: there's no need to pore over a manual. The AK is point and shoot. It's so simple a child could use it - and in some parts of the world, they often do."
Where did this design philosophy go for weapons? Simplicity and reliability.
The ak has a piston driven system similar to the STG but the way the bolt unlocks is more in line to the M1 Garand. the ak has a tilting bolt for unlock whereas the STG has a "claw pick up" style system. The only thing that is "taken" from the STG is the viability of an intermediate cartridge.

Based on what it's good at, I think it would mean fighting for 12 hours straight in an urban environment with heavy winds and freezing temperature, which does sound like a shitty day.
Then again I don't know the original quote but either way makes sense in different ways.
today i didn't even have to use my ak today was a good day....
+Joseph White You don't get it. It's a reference to Ice Cube's song "Today Was A Good Day"
The StG 44 is similar to the AK only in appearances. The gas system and lock-up of the AK-47 is much more akin to that of the M1 Garand. In fact, the gas system of an M1 Garand is basically the same as an AK, except it's upside down. Kalashnikov even talks about the inspiration in his book, and most of the inspiration for the AK came from the Garand.
Not a diss to the StG 44, it basically reinvented the rifle, and it is the first "assault rifle" ever made, and it's probably untrue to say that the AK isn't partially inspired from the StG. But people have a tendency to say that the AK is nearly a carbon copy of the StG. It was mostly inspired by the Garand.
8 years later, this video is still great
"If your day doesn't need an ak, then it's a good day"
‐ice cube
If ur day needs an ak, it will be the best day.
By that metric, I have never had a bad day in my life.
@@eazy8579 WTF
Don't buy an AK, Buy at least two...
+konfederate6277144 SO FUCKING TRUE
And sell them to buy an AR-15.
Voxle and then shoot in the head with it
Voxle and than sell it to buy a golden ak47
and use one on each hand
One of the best videos of guns on the internet. Absolute amazing.
I can never get enough of your "Iconic Weapons" videos.🥰
Your contents are "Iconic". 😎👍
Funny story about the end of the video my grandfather has an ak pattern rifle (Not fully automatic) and there was a problem and... we hit it with a hammer and got it to work (The bolt wouldn't go back all the way)
RWBY Lover couple things, in the future take a piece of Paracord tie two loops big enough to get your feet through. Remove the magazine and set the rifle on its stock pointed upward. Step into the first loop with non dominant leg. Wrap cord around bolt handle and slip foot into other loop. Stomp down. With leverage this will open the bolt.
Also RWBY is a trash cartoon
John Beauvais In my AK a casing got stuck between the bolt and the receiver. I had to pop it out with a sickle. ;)
@@johnbeauvais3159 RWBY is an amazing anime
I've never had any problems with my century arms AK-74, but thats just a testament to it's amazing reliability
@@chaosXP3RT The Century Arms guns are notorious for having weak barrel trunnions and having chambers that wear out after 500 or so rounds.
I'll not critique your taste in firearms as I can respect the AK platform. However RWBY post Volume 3 is complete trash and Miles has managed to piss away every good lead he had in that show
My country has been a part of NATO for 14 years and the army still uses the good ol' Soviet work horse.
What country is that

"It's so simple, a child could use it. But in some parts of the world, they often do."
Deepest fucking quote I have ever heard.
I believe it's been used in "Lord of War" movie
Too bad he ripped it off of Lord of War. Goddamit Nick Cage
kitty!
Not that deep
@Flarez it didn't originate from this video either? So where?
Angry Mob from C&C:Generals agrees

"Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomát Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars."
- Yuri Orlov, Lord of War
I love how the Fedorov Avtomat is subtly seen at 1:34 I love it because it was basically the AK-47 of WWI.
“Gold-plated AK47”
Wait, that’s illegal.
Dr. Bright, you're one to say!
You only see them in game in the hands of warlords
And cod players with bad taste
So yep
@@saigonrider in the golden age of cod (modern warfare 1 - black ops 1) you had to earn gold guns and there were no micro transactions in them either
Gulag for anyone who wastes space ship and computer gold on AK 47!

"and any faults that do occur can probabbly be fixed by a hammer"

Lord of war huh?
No he is Bob the builder
Imagine the work that is put into these videos,we don't deserve this
Fun fact: it's oftentimes cheaper to buy a real AK-47 than a replica.
This certainly gives me hope as I wanna buy a Type 3 AK
When they made the movie Lord of War that’s exactly what the filmmakers did. They found it cheaper to buy legit Kalashnikovs for this Nic Cage movie
All russian weapons are AK's
Makarov: pocket AK
Dragunow: AK with a scope
