Daily reminder that Art Alphin's series on the history of combat arms is required watching for /k/.

They are piece of shit rifles made for inbred Slavs. Don't try to spout that dumb ass AK's are accurate bullshit. They aren't and they weren't then when the Russians were using even shittier ammunition.

Shit bait, AKs are great rifles that are designed to take just about anything that can be thrown at them. They aren't great in any one particular thing, but are overall "good" in everything you can ask for in a firearm with a particularly noticeable focus on reliability.
>Accuracy: are 2-3 MOA on average with the occasional 1.5 MOA being squeezed out of them, not bad, not great either
>Ergonomics: They shoulder well, aren't uncomfortable to shoot, and pretty easy to control even in F/A (when properly handled)
>Barrier penetration: M43 is designed to pepper concrete and other more natural barriers such as trees and foliage without problem and routinely does so reliably. AP ammunition can ice-pick through most NATO APCs.
>Logistics: Parts are interchangeable between most models, even different calibers, and parts are abundant. Fairly modular.
>Reliability: Overgassed to deal with any ammunition, created to withstand most physical punishment thrown at them, made to easily clean out any foreign debris preventing operation.
Tell me one thing particularly bad about AK derivatives.

Jesus Christ this fucking stupid myth. If ANY debris gets in, it will clog up the FCG. The VZ-58 is much better in not getting filled up with debris.
