EgusiShankly: Yes you're right. I mixed it all up with the uprising in Budapest, Hungary. |

masterpolyglot:Yes the AK-47 is a timeless rifle but still americans make better weapons in terms of quality of parts & hardware. The AK can take a lot of assault & lack of care but that would inevitably affect its performance. If an american made weapon is well maintained, it can last for ages & still perform optimally. There are still a lot of winchester rifles made in the 1800s that still fire as if it's still brand new. Also, an m-16 or m-4 seem to have better recoil control than the AK47 & can be fitted with silencers if the shooter wishes. I don't think AK47s have that feature hence its can't be employed for covert purposes. |

EgusiShankly:I heard a rumour that he approached his superiors for support to start producing during the war but was ignored. If that was true, it was unfortunate because Russia had the heaviest casualties in world war 2. It could have reduced their loss significantly. |

Just30: Sure but it was invented in russia. Those countries got licences to reproduce. |

gemale:you are right... I think they had more casualties because they were directly more involved in the war |

gemale: Yea well, too bad that only the most relevant details are considered when making comparisons. The ruggedness of the AK is first class, no doubt. The way it's proliferated in Nigeria by the Nigerian Police shows its a well built machine. It's also more or less an open source weapon because the variants are manufactured all over the world. Even here in Nigeria, we have our version of AK47. I'm just happy that Avtomat Kalashnikova is getting the recognition he deserves. |
