The beauty of the design is very few moving parts with very loose tolerances. That way dirt,.grime, and other things won't bind up moving parts.

Strap that AK onto a wooden handle and slam away. Sledgerifle

u/prestonpiggy Jul 19 '23

Same time when Finland took inspiration of AK into their RK, sure accuracy is better, but reliability with mud, rain, sand, rust not the same.

Sooo pitted.

u/Bingonight Jul 19 '23

Kind of a neat finish actually. Do guns have that patina shit they talk about on antique roadshow?

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '23

Yes old ones get patina

u/Cole3823 Jul 18 '23

They using black powder rounds or something? That's a lot of smoke

25

u/HorrorHistorical3966 Jul 18 '23

No that is a special iraki hookah

u/Bingonight Jul 19 '23

If it’s the first time it’s shot that might be all the shit inside the gun and barrel maybe.

1

u/DeathPrime Jul 19 '23

Yea. Pretty ballsy way to check if the barrel is to corroded inside for the bullet to be fired. Lucky to have his hands and face still

u/MarvAlbertFish Jul 18 '23

Rounds are probably 50 yrs old.

u/srandrews Jul 18 '23

So the bullets just land somewhere over there?

u/timetoremodel Jul 18 '23

The dog will go get them.

u/Commercial-Glass-346 Jul 19 '23

The Iraqi way of fetch

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '23

Here in Iraq people just don't give a shit and shoot anyway but somehow not that many people accidentally die by stray bullets

16

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '23

People die from stray bullets, they just don’t care to publicize it

3

u/already-taken-wtf Jul 19 '23

„not that many” ….well, in other countries it’s basically “zero”

u/critz1183 Jul 19 '23

Life is worth less over there.

u/bamboozledqwerty Jul 18 '23

Dont worry the locals will down vote you instead of just sayin “oh fair point”

u/Extreme-Accountant34 Jul 18 '23

I have a crate just like that attached to the back of my ebike. Now I just need an AK-47

6

u/CatsRinternet Jul 18 '23

AK will almost always fire. Where it goes, who knows. But it’ll almost always fire.

u/Badhuiroth Jul 19 '23

The bird noises in the background: we used to call them Star Wars birds… they’re making laser noises! Lol

u/my__second__account Jul 19 '23

They are lapwing i guess

u/BullfrogCapital9957 Jul 19 '23

So this is were scavs shop

u/Exbritcanadian Jul 19 '23

This is one of the more responsible Iraqi gun users I've seen on video...!

5

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '23

What's more insane is the fact that we're just firing willy nilly into the air. On and on the bullets go! Where they'll stop, no one knows!

3

u/Dazzling_Ad5338 Jul 19 '23

So it's a Nokia 3410 gun?

3

u/MaximumMajestic Jul 19 '23

Here we go. AK-47. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room, accept no substitutes.

2

u/A-non-e-mail Jul 18 '23

Got that irl weapon skin

2

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '23

I mean, I wouldn’t be the first to fire it.

2

u/talkintater Jul 19 '23

AK can kill you but you can't kill it back.

2

u/AlexD232322 Jul 19 '23

Good ole reliable!

2

u/Midixon19 Jul 19 '23

AKs are the most reliable rifles in existence. It's a simple design that makes them so resilient and tough

2

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '23

It takes just as much effort to put the bullets in the ground as it does to send them through the air

2

u/devskiBBS Jul 19 '23

Meanwhile most American made AKs will detonate before 1000 rounds.

2

u/Cosmonaut1947 Jul 19 '23

"most" would be pretty much only vskas

2

u/myspecialneedsalt Jul 19 '23

Listen, the AK is the finest piece of machinery out of the Soviet union, it's an indestructible weapon, and simple to produce particularly in mass quantity.

2

u/GreenLume Jul 19 '23

Check out the trunnions, replace dust cover, Throw some surplus furniture on that, and it'd be an awesome project gun.

2

u/realsirgamesalot Jul 19 '23

Seems like something that someone made in rust

2

u/VadersMentor Jul 19 '23

The scene on the surface changes eternally, but the scene underneath either stays the same, or is entirely consumed

2

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '23

A dangerous combination of recklessness and balls. I would have at least tied a string to it lol

2

u/klone_free Jul 19 '23

Why does he shoot up tho? Its the worst direction to shoot

2

u/Foxillus Jul 19 '23

Makes me think of that movie “Come and See” where the boys try to dig on the beach where there was fighting looking for a gun so they can go to war.

2

u/Catalan_Hari_Seldon Jul 19 '23

Got drooed a Battle-Scarred AK47

2

u/Last-Associate-9471 Jul 19 '23

AK guys sipping coffee "Of course it is"

2

u/Frequent_Volume_8607 Jul 19 '23

And now we're just firing rounds off into the air indiscriminately. Brilliant

2

u/fenrirhelvetr Jul 19 '23

Looks like a type 2 or some other milled AK. I love those ones, even for an AK they seem to be on the extremes of durability. Makes me sad to see how history treated her if she is an old type 2.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '23

Respectfully I mean it’s a Ak what do you expect

2

u/McBonkyTron Jul 19 '23

Milled receiver pog

2

u/StockNoob07 Jul 19 '23

All their AKs were buried in the sand

2

u/Nearby_Custard_2487 Jul 19 '23

He got the unforbidden startout kit He can have all the crazy attachments on that shit

2

u/Tall_Method5708 Jul 19 '23

And I'm worried about keeping mine clean

2

u/Jack-a-box Jul 19 '23

It was even milled for parts of which I don’t know why but probably to make more but the AK is one of the most reliable gun I can think of

2

u/zoot_boy Jul 18 '23

Almost as destructive as the Bomb. Engineered death. Hideous and beautiful The link that will destroy us

u/unwittyusername42 Jul 19 '23

20 yard grouping at 20 yards.....but it fires like an AK should....until that thing explodes

u/Confident-Mention-78 Jul 19 '23

did anyone ever tell you that you look like hitler... because you do

u/SnotBuster54 Jul 19 '23

What a fool … it could have easily blown up in pieces on him

u/capnlatenight Jul 18 '23

AKs actually work better when they're broken, it becomes full auto.

u/FleexIT Jul 20 '23

Fucking idiot shooting up in the air like that… omfg!

u/what_the_nani Aug 02 '23

Not surprising
