The AK47 is really a good gun:
1. Simple structure: In the Soviet era, a trained high school student could complete the disassembly and installation of the AK. At the same time, due to the simple structure, production and even copycats are easier.
2. Reliable performance: It is unbelievable that AK is very simple in structure, but no matter whether it is high temperature or low temperature, river or desert, ice and snow or tropical jungle, AK can operate almost without any obstacles. Even when continuous shooting causes the metal to heat and expand or foreign matter, especially dust, enters the gun, the AK rarely jams. A related story is that during the Vietnam War, the Vietnamese guerrillas had a tactic of throwing AKs into paddy fields while farming, and then taking the guns out of the paddy fields when a small US military patrol passed by from behind the enemy. A cold shot. Another story is that during the Gulf War, a British general inspected the troops and lectured his men: "When your weapon malfunctions, the first step in standard procedure is to pick up the captured AK and continue fighting."
3. Strong universality: AK can fire many other bullets with slight improvements. In addition, after a scope is installed on the AK, its shooting accuracy will be fully unleashed, and its potential is simply unlimited.
An unrelated piece of gossip: It is said that Soviet gun king Kalashnikov met Stoner, the designer of the American gun king M16, and saw that the latter lived in a villa and even had a private jet. Lao Ka Tou was still very sad. When Lao Ka designed the AK47, he was only a low-ranking officer in the Red Army. Of course, he personally would not receive any patent fees from the design. Since then, the Soviet Union has manufactured and exported weapons manufacturing technology in large quantities, and has never paid any patent fees to Lao Ka. For every M16 produced in the United States, Stoner will receive a US$1 patent fee. Comparing the two, the old and poor Lao Ka naturally feels sad.
About 10 years ago, Lao Ka accepted an invitation from a German daily necessities company to endorse its umbrellas. The 85-year-old old gun king finally walked out of his test gun factory. Some people say that he accepted the invitation from his former enemy, but who can tell the right and wrong?
