Why Is The AK-47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle Weapon Of Choice by Pearlyakin(m): 8:30am On Mar 20, 2019
Ever since the inception of advanced weapons that has evolved over centuries we've seen countries using bow and arrows, swords and the likes but since the last few millenia the advanced country now use guns and assault rifles, but a question of concern is the love for the Russian kalashnishkov popularly called AK47 not only by the Russians but lots of countries, rebels, guerilla, militant and terrorist all make use of this iron beast of mass destruction.
My question is why this unfathomable love for this machine and why not the tavor-21, The IMI Galil ARM, AR, and SAR .

The Ak-47 is also popular in third world nations because of the cost of maintenance and effectiveness. But these are just minor attributes. The truth about the demand of the weapon lies in its effective killing range grin

It's easy to use and master , the design is also simple, maintenance, cost and range /impact of shot fired etc are reasons why it's preferred.

They are rugged. You can pick up an AK buried for up to 40 years, a little touch up and it's firing like brand new.

Compared G3 and FN, it's very effective even a 10 year old can handle it very light,

Its effective range is around 350 to 400 meter it's an assault rifle (close range)

The IWI Tavor the DSS uses is for close combat scenarios, while the AK47 is a full on assault weapon plus its OTB capabilities which enables it fire when wet or immersed in water makes it a weapon of choice.

Ak-47
Pros- low training required, rapid fire power, low maintenance, parts and ammo easy to get.

Cons- low accuracy because of high recoiling (major reasons why NA will continue to complain in sambisa forest, AK are much useful in urban warfare where most combats will likely take place at close ranges and not on flat plain terrain like in sambisa)

But for NPF is a no no why AK should be assigned to them because of AKs low accuracy.
it could amount to high collateral damage in civilian protection and rescue.
That's why we keep hearing issues of accidental discharge which are all false because of the high collateral damage in use of that weapon among civilian population.

Those are assault rifles. They are only good for close quarter combat.
