Interesting read. Sorry if this is old news or a repost, but I just found it, and it is quite interesting. Especially if you are a fan of the AK.

Sadly though, the media refers to the
AK-47 as an automatic, which it is not.
We all know that it is a select fire weapon.

Good vid however.

Haha, Russians whining about knock offs and not making money, meanwhile Russia harbors a huge software, music and video piracy trade that only China can surpass.
Owning one of the "clones" I love the gun and will keep it as long as I can, I can't help but to laugh at the Russians.
