October 11, 201214 yr Man, those are some gritty AK's....(pictures of weapons used by captured Somali Pirates): More at (original page is in Russian, link goes to google translation): http://translate.goo...m%2F885168.html
October 11, 201214 yr Author Read the link at the end of the post. Some of them at least functioned, they were shooting them at the crew of the tanker.
October 11, 201214 yr In most parts of the world you can get an AK for 100-150 bucks easily. Full auto too. Waaaaa
October 11, 201214 yr Using one of those would make me feel like I was in the video game Fallout. ...Actually, the AKs in Fallout were in better shape, despite being over 300 years old (FO3 takes place in 2277), and surviving in a post-nuclear war wasteland...
October 11, 201214 yr Pulling the trigger on one of these gets you classified as an optimist in my book...
October 11, 201214 yr I would love to show up at the range with one of those I thought the same thing, and then pop off 15 rounds! (It would be 30, but not here)
October 12, 201214 yr Author Reading the poor translation from Russian: Weapons seized from the pirates. Despite appearances, it is working, inside lubricated some used oil. Our sailors then tried to shoot out of it. In the hands of anyone to take it, of course not, but to pull the strings, fasten the trigger. it sounds like they're talking about the bottom rifle in this pic, the operator pulls the string to actuate the trigger since the pistol grip is a bit "mis-aligned":
October 12, 201214 yr Reading the poor translation from Russian: it sounds like they're talking about the bottom rifle in this pic, the operator pulls the string to actuate the trigger since the pistol grip is a bit "mis-aligned": String fire model.
October 12, 201214 yr In most parts of the world you can get an AK for 100-150 bucks easily. Full auto too. Waaaaa True, but would you want to live in Somalia, Pakistan, or one of those places?
October 12, 201214 yr True, but would you want to live in Somalia, Pakistan, or one of those places? We already live in a place that's much, much worse... New Jersey!
October 12, 201214 yr Ko We already live in a place that's much, much worse... New Jersey! Oh come on, man. Worse than Pennsylvania, yes. Somalia, no.
October 14, 201214 yr Been a few years but I believe that's an RPG not a rifle...... looks like a model 7 but without seeing the exhaust end hard to tell.Plus the exhaust tube actually looks like it burst, fire it left handed you'll toast your face .
October 15, 201214 yr Author Been a few years but I believe that's an RPG not a rifle.... Yeah yeah, I wrote 'bottom rifle', not 'bottom weapon'. 2nd to bottom weapon. Sheesh.
October 15, 201214 yr DD makes a BIG difference when they fire the RPG at you PS Was not meant as any kind of negative comment sorry if taken that way.
September 17, 201313 yr wonder how much range time they spend with those things... Tons of range time. Not much to do when sitting in the middle of the ocean on a dingy with holes in it powered by rusty evinrude you scored on somali craigslist Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4
September 17, 201313 yr still it's amazing didn't they take an AK out of a pond where it sat for 5 years and fire it?
September 17, 201313 yr still it's amazing didn't they take an AK out of a pond where it sat for 5 years and fire it? I remember reading that somewhere too. However, salt water != pond water. The salts will corrode and rust metal much more rapidly.
September 17, 201313 yr no doubt my friend got me thinking, make an AK out of rust resistant alloys or chrome plate the bastard and it could last hundreds of years...hahaha
September 17, 201313 yr Anybody hear about that new Tom Hanks movie with the pirates? Looks like it's going to be a pure action movie with explosions every half second. Not to mention the somalian pirates will probably seem like they were trained by DEVGRU and have AKs that look like they were freshly mined from Odin's anus.
September 18, 201313 yr Cool, those things must have a lot of stories to tell. How many times have they changed hands? What year where they made? Wonder how that ammo still works though? lol questions like a 3 year old lol
