I have a Romanian AK47 in semi-auto (many of them were in fact made that way for their militia). Great gun to look at and of course to shoot.

Oh yeah, and I also share my birthday with Kalashnikov. biggrin

Yay someone caught the Gunny Highway reference. Here's another AK quote:

"Of all the weapons in the vast Soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars."

I have a bottle of Kalshnikov vodka at home, the brand that Mr. K made himself. The only AK-47 I own though is of the airsoft variety. This was taken during a re-enactment of "Red Dawn"..."WOLVERINES!!!!!"

the russians / soviets also made fantastic cameras. funnily enough the cameras had the same QC problems the AK's did - things started out great, got bad the closer the date to the end of the cold war, then got good again after restarting in the early 2000's
