Why Almost All Fighters Use The AK-47

How did this Russian gun become the go-to weapon of almost every rebel group on Earth?

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.

1. It's affordable.
2. It's reliable.
Case closed.

Everyone always asks why terrorists love AK47’s, but no one ever asks if AK47’s love terrorists 😢

An optimist would learn English, a pessimist would learn Chinese, and a realist would learn how to use a Kalashinov

the old "putting a bunch of wrong stuff in the video, in order to drive comments" trick

If humanity ever gets into wars with other aliens, you can bet at some point the aliens will be staring at the muzzle tip of an AK variant

Bro did you just confuse an FAL and a PKM for an AK? My Canadian homie: You must consult with an American before you speak about such issues.

Its kinda funny how its always referred to as AK-47 when in reality its the AKM that really got popular everywhere, and even then the AK-74 also has a lot of use aswell

Not all terrorists use AK's!
I personally use a PKM because I'm just built different.

>Vaguely rifle shaped weapon
>Hoser Is this an AK47? 🤔

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.
But nice that you mentioned that the rifles we see are AKMs and not 47s its a huge misconception and actual 47s are rare and collectables at this point

[uwusmol]

there are so many blatant errors in this video im convinced he outsourced the editing and script to someone poor child on fiver

[nope]

"There were plenty of other fully automatic guns that could have replaced it"
*Shows Mauser Kar98K and M1 Garand*

We must popularize the AK-47 in Antarctica

I laughed when I saw the title.
How long did it take the youtube gods to demonetise your video?
