  1. Makes me want to go out and buy an AK variant.
    Plus i now know how to pronounce Saiga.

  2. WTF?! at around 24 minutes is that AK a 9mm?!

      Yep, 9mm. It is a bit out of context from what they are talking about and showing, but they do exist.

      Overall, an interesting video, but there are some questionable statements in it. Like the part about how Americans had to concede what a fantastic shotgun the Saiga 12 is and how it is far superior to American shotguns. WTF?

      1. Must be good, i cant buy one up here as it can be converted to a fully auto assault rifle, probably with a shoulder thing that goes up and fires thermonuclear ammo.
        lol

  3. nifty video and good to see old Mike K still kicking. also, love the graphic.

  4. Best rifle, ever.

  5. Your meme just makes me like the crazy bastard more.

  6. Yeah… gotta get an AK now. Didn’t really want one before. Bastards. ;)

  7. It’s kinda funny, that AK Mikhail signed in the sates wasn’t even Russian.
    I think it’s a Romanian model.

  8. I have an AK in my collection. It’s much more accurate than what people give it credit for. It surprised me when I was able to shoot tight groups with it at distance. Definitely a keeper. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite rifles to shoot.
