Where AK assault rifles are cheap, good cameras are expensive. You will therefore have to tolerate the bad video quality.The Video above seems to origin from an arab speaking soldier in a middle east country, that are known to favor the legendary Avtomat Kalashnikova design, exelling in user friendliness and ease of handling even with untrained personel.AKMS Field StrippedWhen designed by Michail Kalashnikov from the mid 1940s, a former tank mechanic in the Red Army, the ease of use was the main concern of the firearm genius. Weapons simple as the Mosin-Nagant were useful for the giant Armed Forces of the Soviet Union, where young men speaking different dialects and languages had to be trained to military standards in shooting and maintaining a Service weapon. The long-stroke gas-piston two lug rotating bolt operation became inspirative for firearm designers after him (e.g. the Sig 550). It should not be forgot that the AK-47 is the only firearm design spread around the world with an estimation of up to 100 million arms on the market.The AK-47 is not only clean but also that simple to maintain because of it’s long stroke gas-piston directly fixed to the bolt carrier, a bit StG 44 style, in combination with a simple M1 Garand inspired two-lug bolt. Whatsoever the main reason for the popularity of the weapon is simply the time it’s production started, where no other design in the classic assault rifle concept (Intermediate power rifle cartridge, selective-fire capability, large magazine capacity) was produced in such a large scale.SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM
