Correction: shown at 0:22 is an FAL, at 0:29 a a PKM, and at 7:28 is a PKM. My mistake. Most guns in the AK family are referred to as an "AK-47" intentionally. It's the name that has come to mean the entire platform to most people. I think nitpicking every variant would (although make a more accurate gun identification video) actually detract from the main message that the economics of the AK-47 is the reason it's so widespread.

[@Makafushigi]

[@Aldnon]

You should rename the title to "Why Terrorists LOVE AK Platform", almost all the AK I see on this video is AKM, not AK-47.

[@Z.Man1337]

7:28 is also not an AK it’s a ppsh. Also one big benefit of the AK-47 was that it was made out of sheet metal which made it fairly cheap to mass produce. Edit: idk why u guys keep on hating so much on him. Obviously hoser isn’t that big of a gun guy. That still doesn’t change the fact that the video was really entertaining and the things that were supposed to be delivered were so in a good way. I think by know he knows.

[@CMB21497]

I noticed that and I was going to say something. You caught it. Also, it really is the AKM and not the AK-47. Damn, you got that one too. The Americans losing to farmers never really happened though. Vietnam was a war that the North Vietnamese never won a battle, but they still won the war. Also, once the powder issue was sorted out, many U.S. soldiers began to love the M-16. That is why it is proudly serving in Ukraine, the UK and Canada etc. today. The AK was spread all over Africa and the Middle East, and this is probably why it became so beloved. The ease of manufacture also made it proliferate so widely. Good video. I enjoyed it.

[@user-nu8in3ey8c]

When I was young my very first gun on the farm was a 22 bolt action long rifle. My very next rifle I grew up with was the AK-47. I loved that rifle, it is the best rifle. I like it more than I like the AR-15. In the country you might become acquainted with rifles by age 12, and learn to hunt, fish, build a fire, skin an animal, and hang and butcher a carcass. I am glad I grew up learning how to do things, the newer generations will never learn to do these things. If the world broke out into war or disaster there could be piles of other types of rifles around, I will pick the AK-47 every time. When shooting a great distances a 30-06 with a scope is wonderful. For anything that is at a medium range, the AK-47 will be a reliable tool.

[@alexgainsborough4921]

@@user-nu8in3ey8c what year were you born, since you used weapons from 1947 in your youth? XD

[@Spielername]

Yeah... But that s*** that an AK47 often can't even shoot straight is just cringe. Even an AK will need a new barrel after several thousand shots. It's sad that even a child can strip and clean them after only one hour learning but that means that adults are able to operate them in any condition and take care of them (cleaning and... Stuff) everywhere they are. The gun is reliable and most AK Rifles are operating almost as good as their western counterparts. Most assault rifles are most effective in a range of ca. 300 meters. And the AK is not special in this regard.

The part about them not shooting straight is a bit of ignorance that came from some US service men stationed in Afghanistan, they tested AKs that the taliban had and found them to be inaccurate, not knowing that these rifles had been around the world in several conflicts without ever having their barrels changed, the rifling in the barrels where basically non existent making it an almost smoothbore rifle and therefor inaccurate and that would be the case for any rifle, no gun has a life time barrel.

7:43 The M16 was a brilliant and nearly perfect gun, that was sabotaged by the US Ordinance Dept, they changed the gunpowder used in it's ammo (forcing the gun to endure 55,000 PSI instead of the 40,000 it was designed for), changed it's barrel twist rate, mandated it to have a useless forward assist, and told soldiers it never needed to be cleaned. They literally did everything they could to sabotage the weapon, because they were pissed they had to switch away from the Springfield Armory M14, which was a barely improved M1 Garand. The M16's that the Air Force got, and the M16's given to the South Vietnamese for trials, were the non-sabotaged ones, and these pre-dated the sabotaged guns and received universal praise for how they performed.

It's actually a myth that the ak-47 can be dragged through the mud / snow / sand and still work, it's not that reliable. However what made it so reliable was not that it could survive the elements better, but that it didn't require as much care in order to function. Something like and AR - type weapon will survive / work better than an Ak - type weapon in extreme conditions, it's merely the fact the AR will require more care for it to reach this type of reliability. Garand thumb tested this go check his video.

I love how some of the alternatives he listed are some of the most obscure rifles too. Fedorov Avtomat - why would anyone pick that thing over an AK? It's among the earliest self loading rifles.

"Of all the weapons in the vast Soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947, more commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It will shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag" -Lord of War

[@johnard611]

When science fiction writer Harry Turtledove was brainstorming ideas which became his alternate history novel, "Guns of The South," he first had a vision of Robert E. Lee with an Uzi in his hand. Then he thought, nah that's too complicated, an AK-47 would be better. Then he wrote his story about rogue South Africans from the future traveling back to 1863 and providing AKs to the Confederate Army. The main in book reason for the choice of weapon seems to be the ease of training and maintenance. But one can assume that the relative price and ease of acquisition was also a big consideration for a smallish rogue organization.

[@BatCaveOz]

The gun circled at 0:23 is a FAL... not an AK. At 2:20 other potential automatic riles are suggested, shows the silhouette of a Mauser C96 "broom handle" (which is a semi-automatic pistol), than a Mauser (which is a bolt action rifle), then an M1 Garand (which is semi-automatic rifle). At 4:05 it is stated that other rifles would jam, but shows a picture o a PPSh (a submachine gun... not a rifle)
