Hey /k/ shopping for a first gun. Thinking about an ak. The add

If it's an AKM or AK-47, you can only use unleaded gasoline. The gas is stored in a trap door compartment in the buttstock. An AK-74 on the other hand, is modernized, and can use either gasoline, kerosene, or even deisel in a pinch, although it isn't recommend because it fouls the gun a lot faster.

Oh you little silly

Don't listen to this anon >>34246756

You can't run unleaded in an AK, it's too volatile.

"Gas" is being used figuratively - you have to run something with a high flashpoint to handle the chamber temperatures the AK can reach. I know some guys swear by diesel, and it'll work for an average duty workhorse.

I built my AK myself, so mine it set up to run nitromethane. It's almost $8 a gallon, but I only use up one or two gallons per range trip so it's a relatively minor expense. Plus with the nitromethane it actually cools the combustion chamber so you can bumpfire all day long without fear of cooking off rounds.

Is it gonna be like this all Summer?

Get yourself an ar-15. Fossil fuel is a fudd meme. Electric-powered is the future of firearm technology
