Saw a really good doco on the History Channel last evening about the AK47. Real interesting and quite well researched and delivered.
Mr K surely was/is a clever man. Interesting how he never approved of the AK74 and the change to the smaller 5.45X39 round. He blamed the new cartridge on the Americans......hehe.
I did notice however that whilst the narrator mentioned the very effective muzzle brake on the AK74 no mention was made of the levels of deafness in the operators! I SAID THEY'RE LOUD!
The AK surely is a tremendous advert for loose tolerances. After all the VW Beetle with its air cooled engine was rather generous in the tolerances too and they won't die either.
