Kalashnikovs, the Soviet-designed rifles that became the basic killing tool of armies and militants around the globe, are making a new conquest: the United States. [More]From AFP? Nice to see the socialist French weigh in.
Don't you people have someone to surrender to? Yeah, I know, that's not fair to all the French, but for "Les Journalistes Autorisés," it's probably a pretty safe bet.
Actually, aside from the headline and hysterical lede, it's not that bad an article--if you look hard enough, you'll even find they're not writing about full-autos.
Interesting read from the French side of the fence. The AK pattern of manufacture is indeed making in-roads in the North American market. I think a lot of people appreciate the simple but durable design of a stamped stainless receiver and the newer 74 style muzzle brake, not to mention the excellent 5.45x39 cartridge is very affordable.
