Of Kalashnikovs and "Insha'Allah" -- Jihadi shows off his AK. Gets funnier every time I see it.



My best guess is trunnion failure.

On a serious note:
Eye protection, folks.

Maybe even gloves, if you have soft fairy hands like some of us. ;)

Seems amazing this guy wasn't hurt .... if this military AK can go like that, what about all these kit guns everyone is selling? Sheesh ... I was going to buy one for my daughter but now I think I'll get her an SKS or something a little better built than this.

So much for the legend of the no maintenance required, indestructible AK....

Sean said...

Think he forgot to put the switch all the way down on the gas piston retainer on the upper hand-guard.

That's why I tell everyone two things about the AK.

1. It's what you buy if you can't afford better.

2. It's a disposable rifle. You don't inherit one, if you do you can be sure your father didn't really like you very much.

While watching that video I couldn't keep the image of "Achmed the dead terrorist" of Jeff Dunham fame from flashing in my mind.

Silence!

I Keeeel You!

OH BOY here we go again with a deluge of posts from the M4 mafia about how shitty those damn un'merican commie guns are!

Before you post please stop and think about what you are going to contribute to the thread. If its just another post about how bad ass your M4,M14,Mwhatever is JUST STOP NOW! I am willing to bet we can find a similar video of a Stoner going tits up!

Just keep in mind this particular Ak could have benen made in a cave by an illiterate goatherder/gunsmith. Your WASR will not do this.

D'ya s'pose he took that as a sign from his moon-god that he should re-think his death-cult and its evil dogma?

Maybe?

Or it could have been some ghosts of past US warriors, running another "Project Italian Green" operation.

A 7.62x39 round, filled to the brim with Bullseye, loaded in a mag, to be planted at a kill site with the guy's web gear. These were good rounds, they sent the bolt back thru the dust cover and took out the sighting eye of the user. Plus they took the user off of the board.

A follow-on op, was forged writings that talked about some technical problems with ammo that the ChiComs had sorted out. Meanwhile, the recipient is looking at lot dates on his stockpile, and wondering when the safe stuff is going to arrive to his AO.

There was good reason that USA pubs during the VN-era forbade the use of AKs with any other than approved ammo.

Words cannot successfully convey how hilarious I found that to be. Being the uneducated youngster still in HS that I am I just have to ask...what is a trunnion failure? I feel like I should know this.

MikeD said...

Looks like "Allah" doesn't want you to take up arms in his name. Or perhaps the REAL God doesn't either.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

Allah is a false god.

Mohammed was a false prophet.

-therefore-

Islam is a false religion.

Too bad the AK failure didn't complete the job and keeeel him too. (apologies to Achmed).

Ohh man, that was so good! Thank you for sharing!

3oEight, here's a description for you.

Sean, I don't think forgetting to lock in the upper assembly would cause a failure like we watched, my guess is that the rivets on the trunnion broke.

Forget the AK crap talk from the m4 guys the lesson here is Semi-auto now and forever. Heck Ive seen about every type of rifle made do the turn-money-into-junk thing.

The really funny thing is Haji Pyle.

This is how I am goeeng to kick infidel ass....Ah, sh--! In addition to eating with my right hand, wiping my donkey-hole with my left, and rarely washing either, I am not fond of cleaning rifles.

If the AK doesn't explode, it's empty in a few seconds. That's when we pop out from behind hard cover and double-tap him just below the kaffiyeh in semi-auto mode, and have 29 (or 39) rounds still ready for Fredi.

Defender said...

Waitress! I distinctly ordered the Blooming Onion from Outback Steakhouse. What I got was a booming trunnion at an Uzbek sheikh house. I want to send it back.

Pat H. said...

Why is it that I'm not hearing any AK users explain what happened and what to do about it?

Disposable rifle. If it breaks, toss it.

Oh, one more thing, those who think I'm from the "M4" squad might take a closer look at the rifle I'm holding in my avatar.

TPaine said...

This is my weapon, this is my gun, this is for shootin'...damn, forgot to clean the mutha!

Jeff said...

This one is good too.

Pat H.,
I have several FAL's and AK's. In over 7 years of USMC service(including mos2111, small arms repairman) and 33 years custom gunmaking, I have had one weapon catastrophically detonate on me. Wanna guess what? An Entre'prise Stg58 (FAL).
Just watched several vids on Youtube showing AR's blow up. They do it too.
Pound for pound, the AK is probably the toughest rifle in the world. AR's won't last for a fraction of the time that AK's do in third world countries. That says alot about reliability in the worst conditions possible.
I would love to see how long an AR would have made it on Iwo Jima before some Marine tossed it down a hole.
Everything has it's limits, some just less than others.

It's quite possibly a knock-off copy made in the workshops of Darra from questionable material.

Also, the US Army in Vietnam used to introduce sabotaged ammo into the VC supply line - maybe they're doing it nowadays.

My guess is that one cartridge had no powder. Primer lodged the bullet in the barrel and the next round exploded the firearm.

@ Barackah Obama:

I'll give the answer Reynald De Chatillon gave Saladin...

"It is not I who should convert; it is you who should acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ, that you may escape Hell on the Day of Judgment."

No wonder Ridley Scott made this guy a bloodthirsty baddie in his Muslim Apologetic, "Kingdom of Heaven".

Just before the 'plosion, there was a large muzzle blast. I wonder if that was part of the cause...

Carried a 63A Stoner in Toyland(RVN) and it damned sure never did anything like that. Commie crap, always was and always will be.
